Really fun half day to an unforgettable experience - Lovely day visiting the tribe, experiencing reindeer sleighing, feeding and a chance to hear some history. One additional note - the drive out of Tromso to the site is stunning, lovely views. Highly recommended.

A fantastic experience - Me and my wife went on this experience and felt very looked after from being picked up to transported to the family home of the reindeer herder. This is very much a family business. We were sledded and snowmobiled into the site which does have permanent buildings but also has two handmade Sami structures. The entire time we were there we had full access to as much tea coffee and hot chocolate as we wanted. We were also fed with reindeer stew and asked if we wanted seconds which I did there was also a vegetarian version the owner called Nils he is very knowledgeable and told us stories and information about the Sami people. Overall we had a really good experience the weather when we went was very snowy everyone was given a kilogram of reindeer food to feed the reindeer. That was plenty of opportunity to have pictures. This experience was definitely in my opinion worth the money.

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.
