Overnight in Lavvo, Reindeer Feeding
Join our tour to get really close to the reindeer! These gentle but curious creatures will come to eat from your hands, and you will get plenty of time to interact with these magical beings.
According to Sami people, the northern lights have a sound. Sit quiet and listen: maybe you can hear it too! We cannot predict when lady aurora shows up, but we are lucky to have a location with very little light pollution and beautiful nature to experience this phenomenon in all its splendour!
After the sled tour, you will head towards the fence and feed our lovely reindeers (many of the reindeer will even eat from your hand!).
Right after, it is time for dinner. We will gather in our Gamme (Traditional Sami hut) where you will enjoy some hot drinks and you will get to taste our traditional reindeer stew (Biddos).
When we are all settled and comfortable, our Sami guide will tell you more about the Sami culture and history, they will show you some of our traditional handicrafts and clothes too. There will be also time for questions, feel free to participate and ask our guide!
At the end of the tour, when the rest of the group heads back to Tromsø, you will be accompanied to your tent where you will learn how to keep yourselves warm through the night, just like it has been done for centuries, in what we call “hot tent camping”. Now you can get comfortable and unwind!
*Each tent has space for 1 to 4 travelers. The set up is two queen sized beds separated by the wooden stove.
*Solo travelers may share the tent with a second traveler.
