Reindeer visit, and Sami Culture Including Lunch from Tromso
Overview
Available languages
The reindeer and the Sami have been living and working on this land for centuries and they have only recently invited guests to be part of their daily life. You will visit their camp and have a chance to feed the herd of around 300 wild reindeer who will swarm all around and some will even eat from your hands. You will then be invited for hot drinks around the fire inside a warm candlelit gamme (Traditional Sami Hut) where lunch, bidos, cooked over the open fire will be served (a traditional Sami stew which is often served at Sami weddings and other special occasions).
After lunch you will be invited into a lavvu (Sami tent) and gather around the fire to listen to stories about Sami culture and how it is to be a reindeer herder. The Sami guide will also perform a joik (traditional Sami song) for the guests.

5.0My husband and I had an amazing day interacting with the reindeers and learning about Sami culture! After a short ride of 30 minutes from city centre, we arrived at the winter camp where the reindeers were already waiting for us. We had loads of fun feeding them, soaking in the most beautiful snowy scenery. After interacting with the reindeers, we were served a delicious traditional meal and got the chance to learn about reindeer herding and Sami culture. Our guide was very nice and prepared, making our experience both informative and memorable.
Very nice to see the...
