    We took part in the Reindeer Sledding and Feeding with Sami Culture trip in Tromsø. The guide was very friendly and gave us a lot of information already on the bus. The Sami people prepared the event perfectly. We fed the reindeer and socialized with them. After a pleasant sleigh ride, we sat down in a heated cabin and watched an explanation of the life and customs of the Sami people. The locals were very friendly and warmly answered many questions about their culture. They served us excellent deer stew, pastries, hot tea and chocolate.

  • Once in a lifetime experience!

    Bus ride was comfortable and prompt. Arriving at the camp was a sight in itself, incredible scenery for as far as one can see. Staff were incredibly attentive and kind. Only downside to the reindeer experience was that you were limited to 1 bucket for feeding, which is fair enough however compared to other tours where you can feed them as much as they will willingly eat was a little bit of a drawback and having been told this prior would have allowed me to savour the food I was given to feed the reindeer. Otherwise the reindeer all seemed happy and felt as if they were well treated. The sledding was a slight let down, due to an overbooking, myself and others were told to come back at a later time to sled, however at the time we were told to come back to sled, the rest of the group was ushered away for lunch and created some division which wasn’t the nicest, opting out of sledding so I could eat with the main group, would suggest not selling so many tickets that you cannot fit everyone in at the same time, or, give more time and then allow everyone to eat together once all have had the experience. The food offering was great and the environment was fantastic, being offered more if you were hungry and vegetarian was offered for those that do not wish to eat reindeer stew. Bread, biscuits, tea and coffee were all on the table as well which was a nice touch. The Sami story telling after was great and really gave a good insight to the Sami lifestyle. Prompt departure had everyone back on time in downtown Tromsø.
