5.00This was equal parts fun and educational. We loved interacting with the reindeer during feeding (some of the reviews for other tour operators were indicating they only got one bucket of food, but our reindeer were a bit greedy and we were allowed some refills!). The sleigh ride was through beautiful landscape with a break for the reindeer and a yoking demonstration. The Sami culture was fascinating to learn about, and John was authentic in his delivery of this information.

5.00We had the comparison to a reindeer sleigh ride in Finland in January. The sleigh ride was nice, albeit very short. But for our colleague it was a unique experience. Walking into the reindeer enclosure and feeding them is a unique experience. The teaching of Sami culture and food is authentic. The gift shop is a disappointment. They could make much more of it on the spot. But the animals are really, really fantastic.
Great Reindeer sledge ride and reindeer feeding.

5.00Located around a 45-minute coach ride from Tromso, with a convenient pick-up and drop off outside the Radisson Blu Hotel, really enjoyable reindeer sledge ride and feeding the reindeer, finished off with a reindeer stew and bread and fascinating history of the Saami culture.
