This excursion is suitable for both adults and children 6+. Our journey to Lavangsdalen takes approximately 30 minutes by bus each way. Once there, we will be greeted by a Sami family who will share fascinating insights into the history of the Sami people. You will even have the opportunity to feed reindeer and try your hand at throwing lasso on reindeer antlers (if there will be a time), just like the Sami do when herding reindeer. Enjoy a light refreshment in a heated cabin during the tour. This tour is perfect for families, and kids aged 6 and up can join in the fun! It is a great way for everyone to learn about Sami culture together! While you are there, do not miss out on the chance to buy a real handmade Sami product.

You can relax with a light snack in a warm cabin during the tour, and with our small group size (max 32 people), you will enjoy a personal experience with our guides and a new friends.

5.00This was one of our holiday highlights. The small group made it feel relaxed and calm. The reindeer were so curious and very cute. We enjoyed interacting with them on their own terms. Mikka gave a really fascinating insight into Sami culture and history, something we knew very little about prior to our trip. The warm fire, drinks and snacks were very enjoyable too. Thank you for wonderful family memories.

5.00Feeding the reindeer was a wonderful experience. They were very excited but very gentle. It is out in the open so if the wind is blowing make sure to wrap up with lots of warm layers
Magical experience with a spoonful of history! Sublime!

5.00Felt like Christmas! As soon as we got there, the host (Sami) allowed us a good amount of time to feed the reindeer - which truly set the experience off with an amazing start! We then had snacks and hot drinks in their Lavoo whilst being enthralled by hearing stories and songs of the Sami culture! Truly unforgettable
Fabulous experience. Best...

5.00Eva and her husband were amazing hosts! If they weren't bound by time constraints, they would have kept our group occupied for hours longer. We really appreciated the small, intimate setting. With no more than a dozen guests, everyone got the chance to speak to wife and husband privately. Huge learning experience. 11/10. 🙌🤓📚
Absolutely amazing!...

5.00A great experience to be so close to the reindeer and to hear about the Sami and their traditions, their past and the time now. Lots of information about the reindeer and their habitat. A really great experience and great Sami guides.
A very interesting cultural experience

5.00It was a most interesting experience. Being up close with many reindeer, feeding them, patting them if they allowed you. The most interesting part was listening about the Sami history & culture from two Sami people. They were very welcoming & friendly and provided heaps of bread to feed the reindeer.
Beautiful moments

5.00A very nice outing, the reindeer are so cute and docile. This is an opportunity to learn more about the Sami culture and the two herdsmen are really nice and you feel that they love their passion and know how to communicate it. The time in the Sami cabin around the fire with hot drinks and snacking are really welcome.
A wonderful experience.

5.00I really loved that we were only a small group. From the mini bus driver to the Sami Mum and Son who welcomed us, it was a wonderful experience. The reindeers were adorable and cheeky and devoured the bread we could give them. Listening to the Sami culture while having a hot bouillon with home made bread was lovely. I also really enjoyed learning more about the reindeers. I would highly recommend this.
