4.Sámi Village Inari and Siida Museum by Car

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 6 hours (approx.)

Explore Sámi culture, Arctic scenery, and Siida Museum on a six-hour small-group tour from Saariselkä with lunch included.

“Our guide, David, was excellent. Very friendly and informative. He suggested photo stops on the road to Inari which we wouldn't have known about. He also stopped of in Ivalo for souvenir shopping, and took an unscheduled diversion to the top of thecski slopes in Saariselka. The museum is interesting, but compact. The Sami village is a collection of huts and dwellings, but there are no Sami people there to interact with or meet. In my opinion, the description on the Viator website is a little misleading in this respect. You could easily get a bus to Inari and visit the museum for much much less.”
