Amazing experience - Loved it! The whole experience was great. There were a lot of reindeers enough to everyone to feed them. Maybe I would suggest to improve the toilets.

Great night with reindeers and the northern lights - While having the amazing three course meal, suddenly interrupted with a call that the northern light were out, we happened to be lucky enough to see some incredible lights, The setting for the meal was just right, with the open fire, the great wood feel of the building. The furs, the raindeer stew was great, and the feeding the remainder was fun, plus hearing all about the Sami culture, overall a fantastic night.

Reindeer, Aurora, and the Sami People - Brilliant - This was a Bucket List destination for me and on my 60th Birthday we booked this trip. First of all, you are not guaranteed to see the Aurora. Feeding the reindeer was fun, but remember they are wild animals. I did get a couple to eat from my hand, but if they are not interested in your bucket of food, don't chase them. I used less than half my bucket of feed. Others were chasing/following them further into the wood. However, as we were doing this the Aurora appeared, and suddenly the Reindeer didn't matter. The Sami's took us back inside and fed us with an amazing tasting beef stew, hot drinks, and cookie's. Whilst we were eating this, the Sami's told us to go outside as it was a very strong Aurora, and Boy! I will never forget it, clear as day to the naked eye. We returned to finish our meal and had a short talk about the Sami People. A fantastic trip with some cracking photos. Glad I booked this trip.

The pickup was simple and... - The pickup was simple and easy with relatively clear directions in the email. About a 40min bus ride brought us to the camp. Brought inside out of the cold for a quick discussion regarding how to feed the reindeer before heading out and being allowed to feed the reindeer as much as you like, which I thought was great, given the time frame your allowed to feed them, you will go through a couple buckets worth. After, heading back inside, awaiting you is an offer of hot drinks and snacks whilst you wait for dinner. The dinner offering was great and fast, the staff were very kind and attentive to those with dietary requirements such as vegetarian, I do not believe GF bread was offered however, for those that are gluten intolerant. However the stew, salad and cake were all delicious. The story telling after was also quite interesting. Overall, great tour and the staff were great!

Interesting evening - a mix of nature and culture - A nice way to see reindeers up close and to learn a bit about the Saami people and their culture - we especially enjoyed the joik (song). We were super lucky to see a little bit of aurora during the visit in the camp.

Sami - My daughter really liked the reindeer. I would have like to hear more Sami history. It was just average for me. Other tours that we went on were better than this one.

disappointing - Costly excursion set up for the mass tourist, little authenticity .The nice thing about the excursion was to see the reindeer up close.
