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.”

Feed 300 reindeer, taste Sami stew, hear joik songs, and learn about Arctic life on this warm, memorable Tromsø day tour.

“The ride to the location took about 40 minutes (sit on the left in the driving direction if you want to have the view of the water). Once we arrived you walk a short but quite steep path to reach the huts and feeding grounds. There is a very brief introduction inside where you can grab some warm drinks and cookies before heading out to find the reindeer to feed. In our case they were hiding a bit far away in the forest (maybe like a 5 minute walk). You have about one hour to feed them at your own pace or return to the big hut if you get…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 167 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $235

Review of Tromso’s Sami reindeer sledding tour, with feeding, stew, culture, transfers, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.

“It was well organized. The Sami talk was very informative. The Reindeer sledding was really fun and it was very surreal for us because the Northern lights were out during our ride. The only issue was the toilets and that is not the fault of the tour company or the location. It is from disgusting people that pee all over the toilet and floor so a woman cannot possibly use them without cleaning up the area first.”

Review of Tromsø’s Arctic Fjords and Reindeer Experience, with Sami culture, fjord views, Sommarøy, lunch, pricing, and practical tips.

“We were lucky to even have the sun come out to help us enjoy the beautiful fjords sceneries on our way to Sommeroy. Of course the best part is hanging out with the herded reindeers and spending some time hearing about Sami traditions. Great to witness the young generation continuing with some of the traditional ways and understanding how to sustain the gifts from Mother Earth in harmony.”
