Day 4

The final destination of your adventure awaits! After a lovely stay in Harads, it's time to drive to Jokkmokk. If you want to sleep in, you can arrive in Jokkmokk just before the day's activity starts, but if you like to wake up early, we definitely recommend arriving in Jokkmokk a little earlier to explore the town and visit the Ájtte museum. At lunchtime your Sami experience begins. For 3 hours, your Sami guide will take you on an unforgettable cultural experience. You will meet reindeer, enjoy a nice traditional lunch cooked over an open fire in a lávvu, a Sami tent house, and experience traditional music called joik while learning about their culture.
