Amazing for getting to know different cultures and having a contrast between different “worlds” - Our guide Jan (one of Sami) was organised, good-humoured and his eyes were on fire when he was telling us unbelievable stories and history about Sami and his childhood.
In addition, he provided us with experience to listen to his Yoik which is quite private thing for Sami. Still having goosebumps from that one. Highly recommend. Jan’s positive attitude charges you up for the rest of the day

A great experience with the reindeer. - As much as the sled ride was cancelled we still thoroughly enjoyed feeding the reindeer. The highlight was, however, the young Sami gentleman who explained the story of the Sami’s, their history and culture. All the staff were very friendly, which really helped make it a great experience.

Fairytale outline - Special experience, especially for children, but not only for them. Beautiful setting, nice to be able to interact with the reindeer to feed them and then the ride in the silence of this imposing nature is exciting. The story of Sami life is interesting. All a bit expensive but everything is expensive in these parts.

It was good - The reindeers were amazing. Only because of the weather the sledding was not an option, but we still loved it.

Highly recommended and interesting day out - I booked this more because others in our party were really keen to do it. I was expecting it to be a bit of a tourist trap, quite frankly. But it turned out to be one of the best excursions we did. The bus trip up from Tromsø to Ramfjordbotn (home of one of the local Sami tribes) took around 45 minutes and passed through some beautiful scenery.
We were lucky to have perfect weather and the camp was well organised. The sleigh ride itself was short but sweet, but feeding the reindeer turned out to be a surprising delight, and a highlight of the visit. Even the intro to Sami history and culture was very interesting and entertaining, in no small part due to the charisma and humour of our Sami guide.
Definitely recommended.

Average. - Average experience. The reindeer sledding was cancelled so that was the first big bummer. The rest of the tour was mostly filled with waiting around feeding reindeer, and a very short Sami story.
