Full Description
Tromso Sami Culture Reindeer Sledding & Feeding Tour With Lunch
After meeting your guide in the city center, we will drive 25 minute along the coast to the camp, where the reindeer and sleds await your arrival.
Once you arrive at the camp, enjoy a 10 min// 30 min sleigh ride through the valley and along the picturesque coast, guided by reindeer and your Sami Guide.
You’ll also have the opportunity to feed a herd of 300 reindeer as they surround you, with some even eating directly from your hands. Additionally, you’ll learn how to throw a lasso – though not on real reindeer!
Then, step into the cozy traditional Sami tent for a delicious traditional Sami hot meal prepared over an open fire and warm drinks. A vegetarian option is also available.
Finish the tour by gathering around the fire to listen to Sami stories, history, and joiking (traditional songs). Fully immerse yourself in Sami culture!

One of the highlights of this tour was the reindeer sledding. Gliding through the snow landscape with these lovely animals leading the way feels like stepping into a winter land. The meal was tasty as well!
