  5 stars for the very warm and engaging Luna, who sang for us and explained the very interesting history of the Sami people! Unfortunately the reindeer sledding and feeding were quite underwhelming and disappointing as we just sat on a sled and slowly inched a circle around the feeding area in the dark.

• Once in a lifetime experience

  This experience was quite expensive, but my daughter and I enjoyed it. The reindeer were lovely and feeding them was fun. The sleigh ride was fairly uneventful but it was a beautiful night with the northern lights up above so we loved it anyway. The food was lovely, and the Sami host was informative and interesting. The only negative for us was that on our date, there was a large Spanish-speaking group, which wasn't an issue (great people!) except that everything had to be translated which was a bit frustrating.

  

  

  

  

• Reindeer Evening

  I gave this outing 4 points only because in the description additional info it stated what’s included it mentioned warm overalls and boots if required. Well that evening it was a very wet snow at our 6pm tour. Even though my husband and I were properly dressed, it was never mentioned nor was asked if anyone needed the items mentioned above. Other wise I would have given this tour a 5 star. Lecture, food was great.

  At first I had the impression of "mass handling". In the camp itself, however, it was very nice and extensive. The sleigh ride was a small round within the camp, while feeding you had a good opportunity to observe the animals, pet them and take pictures under the northern lights. You could talk to the guides and Samis, it was a very relaxed atmosphere. At dinner you had a very good opportunity to talk to people from all over the world. The food was very delicious - also available as a vegetarian variant (look up for the hungry was no problem 😉). Ole and Mary then shared their stories of the Sami's life. The event was crowned by sensational Northern Lights.

  Wow! Everything from start to finish was amazing. The site was very large which was good to see for so many reindeer, they all looked and seemed well looked after and happy, which as a tourist perspective is a key factor when doing animal activities. The feeding was great, plenty of food and time to roam by yourself during this. The sledding was fantastic, and thank you to the staff for taking photos for us. The 3 course meal was outstanding for starter main and desert. And a special thank you to (I have forgotten her name sorry) the Sami girl who afterwards gave us a big talk about Sami culture and lots of interesting information. We were lucky enough that the Northern Lights were really strong for our visit to, with exceptional views to due to area being in low light pollution out of the city area. Short bus ride 25 mins from Tromsø bus terminal. This really was an experience never to forget.

  Good dinner and can feed reindeers, see northern lights, may be around 10-20 minutes of information on Sami culture. Not worth the time spend. We were lucky to see northern lights.

  Nice experience, nice meal. Really had a good time with the reindeers and learning about Saami culture.

  This is a difficult review to write as generally I try and write positive reviews, this event just fell short on all fronts. We were unsure if we would book this, but we wanted to feed the reindeer and as the tour mentioned the “chance of seeing Northern Lights”, we thought why not! Plus, a short sled ride and dinner in the tent, along with stories and songs which sounded entertaining. That said it was expensive for what it turned out to be and not something we would do again or recommend. I feel the chance of seeing NL is stretching it given proximity to Tromso and the floodlights at the camp. You would have to have perfect conditions and even then I am not sure! The location is not actually that far out of Tromso, the day before we had an email to say the sled rides might be cancelled due to a lack of snow and the weather. A part refund was offered and communication was good. As it was, they were not cancelled, we chose not to do the ride in the end. The bus collected us on time from the bus station and that was well organised and efficient. Upon arrival we had a short walk up a slope to the camp. There were toilets just sited at the edge of the camp (porta cabin type loos not on mains). They were clean enough. The camp itself has massive flood lights all around it, highlighting the reindeers and camp. The main area where the reindeer were (and they were great to be fair and we enjoyed feeding them), was just a big area of slushy mud. We were given 90 minutes to feed the reindeer which I feel coincides with the time that is needed to accommodate the sled rides, 90 minutes to feed the reindeer is just way too long, to be fair 30 minutes would be enough. The people booked on the sled ride (which took about 20 minutes with 10 minutes set up), were set off in batches of about 15 in a long queue, so with a bus load of people, circa 60 it takes a while for all the rides to be undertaken. Hence the time to feed the reindeer. We choose not to do the sled ride as I just could not see the appeal of being taken around a somewhat muddy area with minimal snow on a sled in a long line of people (not at all like the website portrays). Getting bored we went into one of the tents to grab a hot drink and biscuit (very nice). We then just waited around for the people to finish the sled rides. By then the reindeer had clearly had enough to eat and just wandered off. We then had the meal, three courses which again was certainly nice enough, we asked for seconds on the stew which was given. The pudding was so sweet it just tasted of sugar. We were sat with a lovely American couple so that helped pass the time. After that we then all walked to the tent for the Sami stories, the tent was totally smoke filled, with the door shut and damp weather the whole room smelt like a bonfire, to be fair we nearly got up and left it was so bad. We were sat as far back as possible from the fire. Even though we were promised traditional Sami stories and songs what we got was the 12-month cycle of the reindeers, it lacked any real character and nothing we could not have found out ourselves. We were pleased (and relieved) when it came to an end, and we were able to leave. This review is not about the weather, but to us if felt like the whole evening had been “padded out” to justify the cost circa £350.00. It was 4 – 4.5 hours in total door to door, but really could have been done and dusted in half the time. The reindeer were great, the rest really nothing to write home about, we felt it was overpriced for what it was! The only event we did in Tromso that was a disappointment. Before you book check this is right for you!

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Nice experience but lack of authenticity

  Beautiful herd of free reindeer in a “false camps by the road” Reindeer feeding: magical and funny moment (watch out for reindeer antlers that can hurt children’s eyes) Sled ride: pleasant moment. 15’ walk with an Indian line of sleds attached to each other. Meals: delicious in a wooden cabin around the fireplace. Beware very cool temperature despite everything inside (it was especially cold the day we went there. -15¢C ) Discovery moment of Sami culture given by a young Sami passionate about its history + Traditional songs around the fire = magic moment. In short nice experience for my 10-year-old daughter and myself, although I expected something more traditional and authentic.

  Reindeers were very cute and had lots of time to feed them, staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and Sami storied very interesting with lots of time for questions, would definitely recommend!
