Robyn – Australia

The ability to interact directly with the reindeers was fantastic. The Sami host was lovely and had a beautiful singing voice.

This was the most amazing experience that I have had. It was a short bus ride. Feeding the reindeer was something I will never forget. Next the sleigh ride, we were in a fur lined sleigh. Once all that is done we headed into the food hall hut. I had the reindeer stew which was great. The Sami stories were great to hear. I would highly recommend this experience.

Experience the magic of the Arctic on this nighttime reindeer sledding day trip from Tromsø. Enjoy a traditional Sami dinner and meet reindeer herders while they tell you about their culture and their beliefs. Have the chance to spot the northern lights dancing above you. 
Board your bus in Tromsø and embark on your arctic adventure. Stop at a Sami camp and have a chance to feed the herd of around 300 wild reindeer who will eat from your hands. Feel the thrill of riding on a sled pulled by majestic reindeer.
Be invited for a cup of hot tea, coffee, or hot chocolate and warm up around the fire inside a candle lit gamme (traditional Sami hut). Taste a three course meal including bidos (a traditional Sami stew which is often served at Sami weddings and other special occasions) cooked over the open fire.
Join your host in a lavuu (Sami tent) and gather round the fire to listen to stories about Sami culture. Learn what it is like to be a reindeer herder. Watch as your guide performs a joik (traditional Sami song).

Laure – SwitzerlandMarch 22, 2025 – Verified booking
The activity was INCREDIBLE. Everything was perfect. We took a bus ride for about 30 minutes to get to the reindeer "farm". We started with an introduction by the fire, then we fed the reindeer before going for a sleigh ride. We also had hot drinks and cookies available by the fire. We were lucky enough to have the Northern Lights for over 3 hours all around us. Then we ate a typical meal which was very very good. And finally we finished with the Sami’s story and « songs » around the fire. It was SUPER. All the guides were very kind, attentive and welcoming. I recommend everyone to do this excursion!
