I completely loved it! Reindeers are so cute and also sharing time with the Sami guy was very nice.

First and foremost, by participating in this activity, you help the reindeer herders not only financially but you raise awareness for their situation. This particular booking was a last minute one for me, due to cancellation of another tour (due to the weather). I’m so incredibly happy I did it. Getting close and personal with the reindeer, hand feeding them, interacting with them, learning from the Sami people, listening to their stories, challenges, and songs, was an unforgettable experience. From the beginning to the end, we were all taken very good care of. Plenty of hot drinks, warmth, and fun. Highly recommend.

Full description

Discover a home in the icy wilderness on a guided trip to a reindeer ranch owned by the Sami people. Get close to a herd of 300 wild reindeer and let them eat straight from your hands. Enter a traditional hut and warm up with a meal before listening to cultural songs and stories.

Set off from Tromso and travel through beautiful scenic landscapes before arriving at the nearby ranch. Call out and watch the peaceful reindeer approach as you feed them from your hands.

Be invited into a typical hut to be served warm drinks. Learn about the lives of the Sami people as you tuck into a traditional meal cooked over the fire.

Gather around the campfire in a Sami tent and prepare for the cultural performance. Listen to stories that have been passed down over generations and be carried away by the melody of a joik (song) before returning to Tromso.
