What to Expect
Your tour begins with an evening pickup from the center of Tromso and a short journey to the reindeer camp.
Upon arrival, meet your Sámi guide and the reindeer. Under supervision, you can feed the reindeer. Afterward, head into the lavvu (tent) for a delicious 3-course dinner. Over your meal, your guide introduces you to the culture and history of the Sámi, indigenous people of Northern Europe, and demonstrates the joik (traditional form of song).
One your appetite has been sated, head outside to look for the northern lights—far from the light pollution of the city; you are in a prime viewing spot. After experiencing this magical light show, bid your hosts farewell and jump back into the vehicle for the return trip to Tromso. Your tour concludes with a late evening drop-off back at the departure point.

We had a great time at the Reindeer Camp. We could feed them and take photos with them. Unfortunately the meal was pretty simple and some things were not very tasty. The stories of the Sami were pretty interesting and the people were very friendly. We did not do the sledding,…

The experience was ok but they booked way too many people for where we went (two coach buses) so it didn’t feel the way it was shown on the picture. Too crowded! Also, the title says chance of seeing northern lights and this was not even mentioned throughout the tour. I know it…

Thank you for taking your time to review us. We will use the feedback to improve our services. It is a pity to hear that there were things that ruined your experience with us. What was the company you booked the tour with? On all the websites, we provide information about all the activities that we have. And even if you did not book additional activities i.e. sledding in advance, you can book it straight at at the camp, if there is availability. The weather in the North is unpredictable, as well as the Northern Lights, so we cannot promise that you will see them. But there is a high chance you will encounter them during our evening tours, that is why it is mentioned in the title. As for the meals, we are sorry that you did not find a suitable option for you - we always try to meet all of our customers' wishes, which now mainly are either regular with meat (reindeer) or vegetarian. You came during the high season, when there are a lot of guests coming from all over the world. March is rather a better time for a more chill visit. We hope that we could change your mind about another visit to our camp. We would appreciate another chance to turn your experience around. Please feel free to reach us directly to our email.

Had a really great time last night at the Sami Camp, I got to spend as much time with the Reindeer as I wanted as I wasn’t interested in the Sledding, I ended up going through 3 buckets of Reindeer food by the time I had finished outside with them! The meal was lovely, 1st time…

We liked the experience of feeding the reindeers, en eating in the cosey tent. Also we liked the stories of the sami. But the food was really simple and not so good , and the sledding was kind of a joke because you just go around a circle around the tent. So we think it is to…

Thank you for your review! We offer traditional Sami food which includes simple ingredients which are easy to get in such a climate, one of the examples is a bidos stew. But we also offer you to try the reindeer meat, which is one-of-a-kind meal. For the sledding, there are two options - Short Reindeer Sledding which lasts for 10-15 minutes (the one you have opted for) and a Long Reindeer Sledding which lasts up to 35 minutes. Maybe you would consider coming again and trying out our Long Reindeer Sledding tour, we will do our best to improve your experience!

Berkhamsted, United Kingdom68 contributions24 helpful votesChance to get up and personal with reindeer as they are brought down in the winter to feed. Also heard from the lovely Ann Marie about Sami life and as an added bonus, saw the northern lights. Had dinner in a really cosy hut. A lovely evening.
