It was wild weather when we went so we knew the sledding part was cancelled. But when we arrived they told us we wouldn’t be feeding the reindeer either and to not go outside and the reindeer were not there. I think we were expected to sit there for 3 hours. In the end I asked if I could go outside and when we did a bunch of people followed. The reindeer WERE there and more came when they saw the people come outside so we eventually got to feed them. So it turned out to be great but was a bit of a weird start and felt initiated by us versus the people running the tour. I highly recommend this experience though.
Wonderful Arctic Experience

I had a fantastic experience! The reindeers are cute, although one of them was a bit too eager during the feeding so it kept pushing the other reindeers (and me included) with its antlers. Nothing dangerous, but just keep an eye on their antlers! The sledding was nice, but I’m most excited about the Sami people. It was great learning about their history and culture while enjoying hot chocolate, cookies, and reindeer stew (vegan option available).

This experience was very lovely! It was to the point but still interactive. Of course the reindeer may be the main attraction but please do listen to history of the Sami Culture, it was very informative. As for the reindeer they came on their own and left, at times they may get a bit territorial (most are pregnant at this time). If that happens just simply bring your bucket up and walk to a different area. The white/albino reindeer were calmer than the others in case you’re a bit nervous. The sledding was a good amount of time for me, just enough to take photos and videos but also to get a moment to be in the experience (remember it’s usually a pair of people in 1 sled) !
A beautiful experience with reindeer

We went to Tromso to see auroras -- which we did -- but this reindeer experience was unexpectedly right up there with the auroras for me! They are lovely!!! <3 Also, it was interesting to learn about Sami people around a warm fire. We took the shorter option for the reindeer-pulled sleigh, which gave us more time to feed and hang out with the reindeer.
Beautiful reindeers up close and personal

The reindeer sledding was short and adequate . Fun part was the feeding and being up close to so many beautiful reindeers. Sami talk was good and the reindeer stew waa delicious

We were delayed by a few minutes and unfortunately missed the bus, but the camp was only about 30 minutes away and we were able to reach by Uber. Despite it being dark and cloudy, the overall experience was very enjoyable. Reindeer feeding was a highlight — the antlers can look a bit intimidating, but the reindeer are gentle. Sledding was fun as well, followed by lunch and learning more about the local culture. The experience ended on a beautiful note with a traditional yoik song performed by our guide, Inga
Nice but meh!! Not worth the price!

Well organised etc but like everything in Norway very expensive, €500 for one adult and 3 kids to spend 10 mins on reindeer ride (honestly kinda boring) and 20 mins feeding the reindeer. Listening to Sami lady speak about their culture, while interesting but honestly this is really not worth the money. If it had cost €50 each I would say yes do it, otherwise honestly don't spend the money on this, 4 hours of mostly sitting around or on a bus.
A beautiful immersion

Discovery of Norwegian reindeer and Sami culture. It was a good time when we could feed the queens, see them evolve. At the end, a quick sleigh ride of about ten minutes (less fun because it is very mass tourism for the shot, we are one behind the others and we make a quick circle). This is followed by a very good snack and explanations about the Sami culture which was very rewarding.
