3.00Well organised and friendly. Found the gift shop expensive- 820nok ( £60) for a small bell, postcard and tea leaf strainer. Turns out all these items were sold in several other places- even the airport. Hope the profit supports the Sami

5.00It was amazing to see the reindeer herd in their natural environment. It was great to be able to feed them and wander through the herd. We loved the short reindeer ride and appreciated the woollen blanket. The favourite bit for me was the free hot chocolate and biscuits which were available for the duration of the visit. We enjoyed learning about the Sami culture too.
Good experience; a bit pricey

5.00Great Tour. Same exact tour offered by the Cruise Line. A lot cheaper. Only drawback is you go to them. They are not there at your ship. Fun time feeding the Reindeer. Staff was terrific.
Wonderful experience

5.00Really enjoyed the beautiful scenery with all the gentle reindeer. Feeding the reindeer and watching them interact was a unique experience. And the sled ride was so much fun. The Sami guide was very entertaining and informative. I would go back.
Beautiful experience

5.00This was a once in a lifetime experience for my partner and I. The reindeers are free to roam and come to you whenever they want to eat from the bucket of food provided. The scenery is beautiful and the short sledding was memorable. The storytelling was wonderful and we were happy to hear that we are promoting the Sami culture. The reindeer stew was really delicious.
Go and do this experience when in Tromso
