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.”

“This was an excellent experience. Transport from the front of our hotel on time. About 40 min drive to the Husky place. Heavy duty cold weather clothing provided. A quick tutorial about standing on and riding the sled. Then meet the huskies formally. Who are ready to get going. You need a good level of fitness! The whole sledding experience lasted about 90 mins and covered around 10km! I was able to swap sled driving with my wife thankfully. As we sledded through fresh snow it could get hard going as you have to get off and help push the sled to help the huskies especially on inclines. Then a…”

“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…”

“We had a tour with Stefan on 12.03. and it was our favorite tour of the trip. He was very passionate about the northern lights and managed to make the tour both enjoyable and memorable for the participants. We went to two different locations and were very lucky at the first location where we had intense northern lights for quite some time. Unfortunately, at our second location the northern lights were quite weak, but it was still a nice place and we still had a nice time. We highly recommend this tour!”
