Lovely experience - Absolutely loved it! The people were so nice and welcoming, you get to meet the reindeer and feed them and play with them. I loved hearing more about the Sami culture and tasting local food.

Great Sami culture - The experience was absolutely lovely. The staff were very kind and accommodating at the Sami camp . I visited with my husband and 10month old, they assisted me with space to nurse her and were very considerate. The actual tour was very good, we got some great shots with the reindeers and learnt a lot about Sami culture.

The reindeer were very... - The reindeer were very friendly and cute, plenty to interact with and feed. The hosts were kind and welcoming. The alternative to a sled ride was a ride on a snowmobile, since the snow conditions made it too difficult for the reindeer to pull the sled. The hosts provided an interesting talk about the Sami culture and presented artifacts as well. The informality of the visit was casual and comfortable.
I would have liked to learn more about reindeer farming and its role in Norwegian agriculture, as well. It is an hour and a half drive, each way, and you are on your own. A brochure of reindeer and Sami general knowledge would do well here.

Super ! But quite expensive - Verry good activities! And the people Sami we were with were so nice :)
Meal was really good too
But it’s quite too much expensive for the time in sledging comparing to other compagnie which proposed more time but for same price…

Misleading advertising - not worth the high price - The Sámi experience was very interesting, and we really enjoyed learning about their culture and history. The hosts were lovely, genuinely caring about our experience, and the scenery around the farm was breathtaking, with stunning views of the mountains. My kids especially loved feeding the reindeer and had a great time roasting marshmallows, which they actually enjoyed more than the soup.
However, the overall experience had some major disappointments. The tour was advertised as including a 15-minute reindeer sled ride, but in reality, it lasted less than two minutes—which was a huge letdown considering we paid over £500 for this trip. When we raised this with the hosts, they explained that they never agreed to offer 15-minute rides and that Viator had misrepresented the experience. This felt very misleading.
Additionally, while the history was fascinating, the talk was quite long for young children to sit through. If you’re primarily interested in Sámi culture, it’s a worthwhile visit, but if you’re expecting a proper reindeer sledding experience, this is not worth the money.
I have requested compensation from Viator, but they are refusing unless the tour operator agrees, even though the fault lies with Viator’s misleading description, not the farm. Very disappointing customer service on Viator’s part.
