After pickup in Tromsø, your tour starts with the 25-minute drive to the reindeer camp.
When you arrive enjoy the chance to feed around 200 wild reindeer and then have a long reindeer-pulled sled ride, and then try lasso throwing, if you wish (not on the real reindeer).
Next, warm up with coffee inside a lavuu (a Sami tent), and listen to stories of Sami culture as you enjoy a hot lunch of bidos (soup) with more coffee and cookies. Listen to the sounds of a joik (traditional Sami folk song), and then return to Tromsø to end your tour in the afternoon.

Delight in the unique Sami opportunity of reindeer sleighing, during which you’ll relish a lengthy reindeer-led sledge journey (30 mins). Following that, nourish a crowd of 300 reindeers at the site, and assemble within an authentic Sami shelter for a warm repast and to hear narratives regarding Sami customs around the firepit. A Sami escort will also render a joik, a customary folk melody, for your enjoyment, before we transport you back to Tromsø.
