Great Sami culture and Reindeer ride - I was a fun filled day with Arctic Reindeer as were able to explore the great Sami culture, enjoy reindeer ride and have unlimited hot chocolate with delicious lunch and drinks and cookies. We also fed food to reindeer and listen to their stories of migration. Listening to The Sami culture stories gave me goosebumps. The Sami song was fantastic

Perfect day out, honestly so lovely - This was so special!
The guides were so lovely and passionate.
The reindeer were just so cute and lovely, had a great time with them feeding and with the sledding.
The hot chocolate and reindeer soup was great.
The explaining of the Sami culture was great and the Sami lady with the Joik (singjng) was very moving.

Reindeer feeding and sami culture tour - this was the highlight of my tour it was unreal to see the reindeers, we had lots of fun feeding the reindeers, they were all friendly and so cute, the experience was just amazing. The sami culture talk was interesting and interactive, we could ask questions freely and the local sami guides would answer really well! The guides was very helpful and interesting made the entire experience extraordinary. Our guide Andra, she was so kind and warm hearted! Andra was so happy and cheerful we had great interactions. She joined us having fun and was very bubbly.

Best Reindeer Experience in Tromso! - This was an amazing experience! We traveled with our two kids ages 6 and 4, and this was perfect! We got to feed the reindeer, rode on a sled in the snow, enjoyed some traditional stew (gluten free/celiac friendly), and warmed up by the fires with some warm drinks. This was highly educational as well. Highly recommend making this group part of your stay in Tromso! They're sustainable and socially conscious, focused on supporting the local indigenous culture as well as sustaining the reindeer population in the area.

Cancelled tour! Great communication throughout - Unfortunately I can’t review this tour as it was cancelled due to the snow being too wet to safely conduct the tour. However, communication was great and they gave me a full refund within 5 days. That is why I gave them 4 stars. Would use again if I happened to be in Trimso
