    The views, the people and of course the reindeers. Best day in Tromsø. What an experience. Would recommend this to every visitor.

    The Sami culture talk was a highlight of this, where we weren't able to do any sledding because unfortunately it hadn't snowed enough (In Norway! In November!), but we got to spend a good chunk of time with the reindeer feeding them, eating some interesting food and then getting the highlight - a pocket history of Sami history and culture from our local guide. Worth it for that alone!

  • It was really cool to see...

    It was really cool to see the reindeer and really interesting to hear about the Sami culture! Unfortunately there was no snow when we went so couldn't do the sleigh ride that we were looking forward to but obviously not the tour's fault!

  • Amazing experience I will never forget

    This experience was more than I could of imagined it would be. Made my holiday so special. I loved the talk on the Sami culture. Feeding the reindeer was amazing. All the people involved we friendly and welcoming. The reindeer stew was very tasty. Even the coach driver did a good job. I would definitely recommend this experience and would do it all again next time we visit Tromsø. Didn't get to do the sledging as there was no snow so fingers crossed for next time.

  • Good experience

    Had a good time with the Sami people The. best part was feeding the reindeer!, unfortunately there wasn’t enough snow do do the sledding ( but we were told we would be partially refunded) It does get very cold while feeding the reindeer ( so wrap up warm) I did feel it does become a bit disorganised after the reindeer feeding , there a 2 tents for you to have coffee or hot chocolate and cookies The food is very nice ( try the reindeer soup !! At the end on of the Sami people have a talk about there culture and there history ( and you can ask questions), which I found very interesting There are also some good photo opportunities to take of the surrounding mountains and while feeding the reindeer This trip is worth doing while your in tromso
