Perfect day with the Sami and the reindeer - That was a really beautiful trip. The Sami live in a snow-capped landscape surrounded by mountains. The Tippi-like dwellings look new and high-quality. There are campfires all over the camp. After a short introduction we went straight out to the reindeer sleighs. The staff was very friendly, sang, told stories, took photos and provided us with a delicious soup for lunch. In between there was cocoa, plenty of cookies and bread.
It was also great to get very close to the reindeer while feeding and also to take great photos. In a question and answer session we learned a lot about the Sami. We liked the tour even better than the snowmobile tour - which was also great.

Unique learning opportunity and fun experience - Tromsø Lapland offers a unique opportunity to learn about the Sami culture from indigenous people. Fascinating insights into their relationship with reindeer and had the best experience on the reindeer sled ride. Everything was well organised and we were given clear instructions ensuring everyone had a great and safe experience.

Great experience - Great experience! Bus ride only an hour out of tromso. You get to feed the reindeers with multiple buckets of food which they loved. Well worth the trip :)

So interesting - Transport, organization, Sami people, cultural talk, reindeer feeding, camp were all excellent and worth the tour. The vegetarian/vegan meal of light vegetable soup not equal to the thick, deer meat, potato, carrot stew. Need a veg stew just minus the meet.a

Overpriced but otherwise great. - This would have been an amazing experience if it was about €100 cheaper. It was about a 1 hour bus ride followed by a 25 minute sled ride and 30 minutes of feeding both with beautiful views. After that you get to warm up in the building and eat reindeer or vegetable soup. Guide provided about 5 minutes of Sami culture and then we went outside to look at the northern lights (not a guarantee and obviously weather and sunset dependent). I’m happy we did it but at almost €200 per person I probably would not recommend it to a friend.
