★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 6,417 reviews · 4 hours · from $198Our pick

Feed 300 reindeer, ride a snowy sled, and hear Sami stories, joik, and enjoy a warm meal near Tromsø on this memorable four-hour tour.

“We spent a wonderful afternoon reindeer sledding, feeding and enjoying the hospitality of the Sami people. We opted for the 25-30 minute sled ride which was well worth it. The cultural experience was fascinating and very enjoyable and the Sami guides were wonderful hosts. There were lots of opportunities to come inside by the fire and get warm with hot drinks and the stew was delicious. Make sure you wrap up very warm, we did and were fine. The Sami crafts were beautiful quality. All this just a short coach drive from Tromso and very well organised.”

“The tour itself was really good. We enjoyed the drive to the Atlantic road and the scenery was beautiful. It was a self guided tour so no guide. We did enjoy it and would recommend it. The only problem was the Meeting point. We all went to the green flag but no one came to collect us and we had to find the bus on our own. Otherwise, it was a very good tour.”
