Feed 300 reindeer, ride a snowy sleigh, enjoy Sami food and joik singing on this cultural half-day tour from Tromsø.
“An incredible experience with the reindeer! We had plenty of time to really enjoy the peaceful nature and the surroundings. Snacks and hot drinks were constantly available, which was a lifesaver on such a freezing day. Ana (I hope I got her name right) spoke beautifully and passionately about Sami culture – we were absolutely captivated and listened with our mouths open. The only slight disappointment was the sleigh ride itself: one guide was leading several pairs of sleds pulled by reindeer at the same time, so it felt a bit less personal than expected. Still, the reindeer are truly amazing animals and the overall experience left a very positive…”

Drive your own husky sled near Tromsø, meet 130 Alaskan huskies, and warm up with hot chocolate and cake in a Sami lavvo.
“This was by far the best activity we did in Tromso. When we arrived the dogs were all super excited to see us. We were allowed to play with them for a bit before getting in our sleds. They provided warm outer wear so we were not cold. Sledding through the beautiful mountains was amazing. Spectacular and fun. The owner was great and provided us with warm drinks and cake after and told us all about the huskies. It’s definitely worth the money and a must do in Tromso.”

“We had a wonderful experience on the reindeer feeding tour. The scenery on the way to the reindeer camp was absolutely amazing and made the journey very enjoyable. We really appreciated the unlimited hot drinks and cookies, which kept us warm and comfortable. The reindeer (and vegetarian) stew was delicious and hearty. Listening to the Sami cultural stories was very interesting and meaningful, and it gave us a deeper understanding of their traditions and way of life. Overall, it was a memorable and unique experience. Highly recommended!”
