Additional Information

For hundreds of years, the reindeer and the Sami have coexisted in this region, and they’ve only recently started allowing visitors to witness their day-to-day activities. A visit to their camp offers you the opportunity to interact with a herd of approximately 300 wild reindeer, feeding them and having them eat directly from your hand. Additionally,…

This was a very unique... - This was a very unique experience and I recommend you try it as least once! It is a well run operation and true to the description. We started with a feeding and meeting of the reindeer, then were fed a very good dinner and taught more about Sami culture. We did not get to sled due to weather, but that is okay! Was still a great experience regardless.

As Advertised and Lady Aurora Graced Us with Her Presence - This was a bit pricey at ~$150 USD per person (x3). In the end, it was worth it and it was only a 20-25-minute drive from the bus station. Yes, it was cold but they provided huts with fires for you to warm up if you needed. It was a combination of feeding reindeer, taking a short reindeer sled ride (~5-7 minutes), hot drinks (unlimited), dinner (unlimited), and then some Sami storytelling by the fire. Dinner consisted of (you could choose anything and everything from the following): Salmon salad, reindeer stew, tomato-based vegetarian stew, bread, chocolate cake. At one point, one of the guides pointed to the sky and there were the Aurora Borealis starting to make an appearance. It was cool hanging out with reindeer and seeing the Northern Lights. Given that part of the ticket price goes to care and feeding of the reindeer, I highly recommend this tour and this tour company.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening - We like to take small group tours and avoid large group activities like the plague. When we saw the size of the bus and that a cruise ship was in port our hearts sank a little. However once we got to the camp we were pleasantly surprised that once everyone spread out amongst the herd and activities, it did not feel crowded at all. The sled ride was OK, but not really worth the additional cost - you could easily leave this off and still have a great time. Feeding the reindeer was great fun. Some of them get a bit pushy and some people might be intimidated by an antler prod or hoof on their leg, but we never felt in danger at all. Dinner was nice and added to the over all experience, as did Daniel telling us about the life of a herder etc. The northern lights made a grand appearance and topped the whole evening off.

Feeding the reindeers was fun! - You go with a large group of people and the check in was a bit on the chaotic side. Look out for blue jackets to find your guides :) That said, feeding the reindeer and the sledding was a lot of fun. The meal was nice as was the setting so can definitely recommend.

Reindeer treat - The food was good and the staff were friendly. I did think we would have travelled further from Tromso but it was a nice excursion. Lots of reindeer to feed
