Night Reindeer Sledding with Camp Dinner and Chance of Northern Lights
Overview
Available languages
4 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
The reindeer and the Sami have been living and working on this land for centuries and they have only recently invited guests to be part of their daily life. You will visit their camp and have a chance to feed the herd of around 300 wild reindeer who will swarm all around and some will even eat from your hands. You will also enjoy a 15-20 minute sleigh ride pulled by the reindeer. You will then be invited for hot drinks around the fire inside a warm candle lit gamme (Traditional Sami Hut) where a relaxed three course meal will be served, including bidos cooked over the open fire (a traditional Sami stew).
After dinner you will be invited into a lavvu (Sami tent) and gather round the fire to listen to stories about Sami culture and how it is to be a reindeer herder. The Sami guide will also perform a joik (traditional Sami song) for the guests. If you are lucky and the sky is clear you will have a chance to see the northern lights above the reindeer camp.

Nice experience but lack of authenticity

4.00Beautiful 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.
Great experience

5.00This is a must do, learning about the Sami culture, reindeer feeding, 3 course meal which was delicious all served in an amazing tent , and a salad ride which was amazing under the northern lights. We chose this company and they have great ethical and eco values and the reindeer are so well looked after . We were blown away one of the bare experiences of of loved
Nice evening with room for improvement

3.00The reindeer were cool (albeit a bit aggressive because of the Mating Season). The food was great and everyone was very nice. You could also get to know the Sami culture, but there was no time to really get to grips with the culture. Stories as advertised so I didn't really exist. The expectation on our part was rather thought of legends or real campfire stories with storytellers, but there was only a short question answer round and bits of information about the culture. It's a shame, because there would definitely be potential here.
Great experience in a very large group

3.00A very special experience! Feeding the reindeer and standing in the middle of the herd was absolutely impressive. The cosy wooden cabins with open fires were also beautiful – perfect for warming up with hot tea, coffee or chocolate. The 3-course menu was fine (salmon salad, reindeer stew, chocolate cake). We particularly liked the talk about the Sami, which offered exciting insights. Somewhat exhausting, however, was the heavy smoke in the tent from the open fire. Overall a great experience! You should be aware that it is an event with about 100 guests.

5.00Reindeer feeding and sleigh were both fantastic experience. Meeting place is easy to find The reindeer seems to be jumping on our back , maybe asking for more feeding, which is a little scary and certainly scared my wife, which cused her to abandon the feeding participation. The Sami culture story telling was enlightening and entertaining. Although the chance to have a northern light sighting ahould have not been offered, for it was never mentioned in the tour and it misled us in believing that we will be lucky to see the northern lights. We came back with disappointment. Good my daughter who went on an aurora hunting trip last november suggested we should take an exclusive aurora hunting with Wandering Owl, which is a 15 years tour operator and we were lucky to have joined it in last minute registration on the next day, despite being discouraged due to the end season for northern light hunting in end of march. I suggest not to take this tour for aurora hunting, you will likely to get disappointed. Join an exclusive hunting expedition instead Overall, this tour is marvelous and full of excitemnt
Family fun!

5.00Our family of 6 had a great time! We got to go on a reindeer sled, feed a large group of reindeer, and listen to stories of the Sami people. We had so much fun! Unfortunately, the weather was too cloudy to see the northern lights though that's no one's fault.
Awesome
