Good experience feeding the reindeers and the stew was tasty. Sami guide did a good job explaining her culture. Only disappointment was no sledding but that is due to the weather lately being very mild so little snow. They giving partial refund because of it.

This was equal parts fun and educational. We loved interacting with the reindeer during feeding (some of the reviews for other tour operators were indicating they only got one bucket of food, but our reindeer were a bit greedy and we were allowed some refills!). The sleigh ride was through beautiful landscape with a break for the reindeer and a yoking demonstration. The Sami culture was fascinating to learn about, and John was authentic in his delivery of this information.

Absolutely amazing. Very cold but plenty of tea and soup to warm us up. Boyfriend said the reindeer stew was delicious
Thank you for your awesome review! We really appreciate that you enjoyed your time with our reindeers despite the freezing weather!
Its an unforgettable experience with the reindeer and feeding them is fun ...the sleighride was longer than I expected and the food was good with an interesting talk by one of the sami herders
Hi Andrew, Thank you for your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed your experience with us and we will make sure that our camp staff know that they did a great job 🦌
We had the comparison to a reindeer sleigh ride in Finland in January. The sleigh ride was nice, albeit very short. But for our colleague it was a unique experience. Walking into the reindeer enclosure and feeding them is a unique experience. The teaching of Sami culture and food is authentic. The gift shop is a disappointment. They could make much more of it on the spot. But the animals are really, really fantastic.

Located around a 45-minute coach ride from Tromso, with a convenient pick-up and drop off outside the Radisson Blu Hotel, really enjoyable reindeer sledge ride and feeding the reindeer, finished off with a reindeer stew and bread and fascinating history of the Saami culture.
