This activity made our trip memorable, we were lucky to see northern lights our night!

C
Cristian David Romero – Spain

It was incredible. We in fact saw the northern lights and for us it was the best night out of three we went to Tromso. Also, the Sami talk was amazing. Very funny and informative

Full description

Discover the traditional Sami way of life on this day trip from Tromso. Have a traditional Sami dinner and meet reindeer herders while they tell you about their culture and their beliefs. Meet and feed the reindeer and listen to local stories in a traditional tent.
Hop aboard a spacious bus at a conveniently-located meeting point in Tromso and transfer to the Sami camp. Step back in time as you see how the reindeer and the Sami have been living and working on this land for centuries.

Get to feed the herd of around 300 wild reindeer with some even eating from your hand. Be invited for hot tea, coffee, or hot chocolate around the fire inside a candle-lit lavuu (a traditional Sami tent or hut).
Savor a relaxed meal including bidos (a traditional Sami stew that is often served at Sami weddings and other special occasions) cooked over an open fire. A vegetarian option is also possible.
Head to the lavuu and gather around the fire to listen to stories about Sami culture. Watch your Sami guide will perform a joik (traditional Sami song) for the guests.
Gaze up and if you are lucky and the sky is clear you will have the chance to spot a dazzling display of the northern lights directly above the reindeer camp.

Includes

  • Transfer
  • Guide
  • Three course dinner
  • Storytelling and joik
  • Coffee and snacks
  • Booster seat for children (you can bring your own)

Karen and I thoroughly enjoyed feeding the reindeer, eating Sami food and listening to stories about the Sami people. Added bonus we got to see the Northern Lights while at the camp and during the trip back to Tromso.
