Extremely overpriced!

3.00Very overpriced! $215 for feeding rein deer. The sledding was lame: 4 reindeer tide up consecutively in sled line and the guide leading the head of the herd at 3 km/hr. around the compound. 10 min. at most. Lunch is very light: soup only. I ate 2 helpings and was still hungry. Bring your own food!!! I wish I would only pay for deer feeding. That was fun.
Reindeer? Do not make this excursion!!!!

1.00A scam. A waste of time. Worst experience of the trip to Tromso. A coach with more than 50 people leaves you on an esplanade where there is a typical shop surrounded by other horrible constructions. You can see and feed some reindeer locked in a fence and take a five-minute circular lap with n reindeer sleds. Nothing more. Bad last-minute chat and a hot soup. The experience is not worth a tenth of its cost. There are much better things to do in Tromso!!!
Loving and very friendly hosts

5.00Lovely day visiting the tribe, experiencing reindeer sleighing, feeding and a chance to hear some history. One additional note - the drive out of Tromso to the site is stunning, lovely views. Highly recommended.

5.00Me and my wife went on this experience and felt very looked after from being picked up to transported to the family home of the reindeer herder. This is very much a family business. We were sledded and snowmobiled into the site which does have permanent buildings but also has two handmade Sami structures. The entire time we were there we had full access to as much tea coffee and hot chocolate as we wanted. We were also fed with reindeer stew and asked if we wanted seconds which I did there was also a vegetarian version the owner called Nils he is very knowledgeable and told us stories and information about the Sami people. Overall we had a really good experience the weather when we went was very snowy everyone was given a kilogram of reindeer food to feed the reindeer. That was plenty of opportunity to have pictures. This experience was definitely in my opinion worth the money.
Lovely experience

5.00Absolutely loved it! The people were so nice and welcoming, you get to meet the reindeer and feed them and play with them. I loved hearing more about the Sami culture and tasting local food.
Great Sami culture

5.00The experience was absolutely lovely. The staff were very kind and accommodating at the Sami camp . I visited with my husband and 10month old, they assisted me with space to nurse her and were very considerate. The actual tour was very good, we got some great shots with the reindeers and learnt a lot about Sami culture.
