Enjoy a traditional Sami dinner and meet reindeer herders while they tell you about their culture and their beliefs.

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).  Step outside to see if the northern lights appear above the reindeer camp. Return to your meeting point in Tromsø at the end your tour.

Its a good oppprtunity to learn the Sami culture with Sami people, although is not a really Sami village with the locals living there but more an example Sami camp. In the other hand you are going in a excursion, so you dont have that intimicy as expected due to the large groups.

Klasse Guides, vor allem die Infos über die Sami Kultur waren super. Nach Ankunft im Camp wurde in Gruppen aufgeteilt, eine machte zuerst die Schlittenfahrt während der andere Teil die Rentiere gefüttert hat. Als die erste Gruppe zurück war, wurde getauscht. Im Anschluss gab es sehr leckeres Essen (Salat, Rentierstew und Dessert), danach gab es im großen Zelt bei einem Feuer einen sehr tollen Vortrag über die Sami. Wir hatten das Glück auch Nordlichter zu sehen. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen!

Absolutely incredible night. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the Sami way of life and culture. Feeding the Reindeer was magical, the traditional stew was delicious and the Sami family sharing their culture and time with us were so lovely. I learnt alot, was honoured to have spent this time with the Sami people. We were also lucky enough to have a clear night and a great show from the northern lights. The only downside to our entire evening were the tour guides who greeted us and drove us home. They just did not seem interested or like they actually wanted to be there.....
