My wife and I had a fantastic day here as part of our Tromso visit.. Upon arrival we were greeted by members of the Sami tribe who explained how the event would work. The centre has a herd of almost 200 reindeers and initially we are given buckets of feed and allowed go wander amongst the animals and feed them. We then went a superb sledging event gliding across the snow was awesome. We then a very interesting short chat with our female guide who explained how the heritage of the Sami tribe is being maintained, over a delicious bowl of reindeer stew.
Best day of our trip

What can I say but brilliant!! The sledding was great, feeding and meeting the reindeer was my hi-light. Endless hot drinks and biscuits. Reindeer soup and a veggie option. Hearing about the Sammi culture was delivered by a lovely lady around a hot fire Well organised. We were also graced by the northern lights which was totally unexpected. Brilliant all round....I loved it.

This was a great experience. Getting to meet and feed the reindeer was super fun. They’re very friendly and fun to be around. Getting to learn about the Sami culture was incredible and our Sami guide was fun when teaching us about her culture. Lunch was delicious and they had gluten free options. Overall highly recommend.

Wow, what an afternoon. It was an experience we will not forget. It was excellent organisation from start to finish. After being picked up from Tromso bus station and taken to the reindeer camp we had a wonderful time feeding some of the herd of 300 reindeer and having a 30 minute sleigh ride. Afterwards we were served with a delicious reindeer stew or a vegetable alternative around a a lovely log fire. Hot drinks and biscuits were available and we had an interesting talk from one of the Sami community about their history and the reindeer before retuning back to central Tromso. Thank you to all involved for a great excursion.
Unique fun tour

Pick up was on time and were helpful ? Did notify us before that reindeer sledding was cancelled due to not being frozen enough/ Sami culture chat was good and they had good selection of food choices - fed the reindeer but they got spooked and all ran off ! They were very gentle and it was a good experience / it was obvious they were filling the time we would have done the sledding but it did not stop us enjoying it
