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.

This tour is exceptional. After a stunning drive along the water's edge with mountain views, we arrived at the reindeer farm and were able to walk freely amongst hundreds of reindeer in their pasture that went on for miles and miles. We fed them and had fun interacting with them for about an hour. We then met in the traditional lavvu (tent) where we enjoyed reindeer stew (a vegetarian option was available), hot chocolate, tea and coffee while a Sami leader told us about his culture, family history in Norway and about his reindeer herd. It was a wonderful experience and all of the staff were very courteous and even loaned me a pare of walking poles to get up the snowy hill to the farm. Overall a fantastic day!
