Enjoy a magical experience feeding reindeer in Tromsø and have an unforgettable day visiting a ranch. Tuck into a tasty home-cooked meal, listen to folk songs and hear stories about the Arctic wilderness.

Depart Tromsø and travel to a nearby ranch where you will have the chance to feed a herd of around 300 wild reindeer. Marvel as the friendly animals swarm around you and eat straight from your hands. Learn more about the Sami culture of the Arctic. They have been living and working on this land for centuries and have only recently invited guests to be part of their daily lives.

This was the most amazing experience!! The reindeer are so cute and fun! They love getting treats and will surround you and follow you around. I felt like a Disney princess. Ha! Learning about the Sami People was fascinating. The food was delicious. This was the best experience of our whole trip. 1000/10 recommend!

Easy meet up point. Well arranged with the van travelling to the camp site. Unfortunately it was the raining day. The guide well prepared the camp fire, drinks, lunch and feeding reindeer activities. Understand the Sami culture and trying their traditional food. Due to the global warming not easy for them to continue to survive. I think the trip can support them.

Amazing experience! Lovely, engaging hosts with interesting stories. Beautiful reindeers. Location has cool mountain and fjord views. A bit unfortunate, that we were several big groups, so the sledding was a bit chaotic and unorganized. Highly recommend the trip!!
