Reindeer Sledding, Reindeer Feeding and Sami Culture with a Chance of Northern Lights

Try the oldest vehicle from the arctic, feed our Reindeer herd and enjoy the Arctic landscape in this evening tour while the Northern Lights might appear above you!

Get to know our herd of 200 reindeer and join on a up to 30 minute sled ride while enjoying the beautiful nature around us and the wonderful night sky from the north!

 You will be picked up outside Radisson Blu Hotel in Tromsø: just look for the guide wearing a blue Luhkka (traditional Sami poncho) and a bus with a big SLEDDING sign. Our guides will provide you with bracelets to indicate you will take part in the sled ride.

After checking in with our guide, you will hop on a 45 minutes’ drive to our camp. On your way, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful Northern Norwegian mountains and upon arrival, you will be greeted by our Sami guide who will give a brief safety introduction and guide you to your activity!

Part of the group will join the sled ride right away. On a circuit of 2.5km, immersed in Northern Norway breathtaking nature, you will try the oldest mean of transportation and feel like a real Sami in the Tundra! Then it will be time for the second group to take part in this lovely and ancient activity.

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!).

According to Saami people, the northern lights have a sound. Sit quiet and listen: maybe you can hear it too! We can’t 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!

Right after, it is time for dinner. We will gather in our Gamme (a modern interpretation of a traditional Sami hut) or the Lavvu (a traditional Sami tent, much like a Tipi) for a hot drink and a warm tasty Biddos, our traditional Sami stew with Reindeer meat, potatoes and carrots. We also offer a vegan alternative, a veggie soup with lentils, carrots, broccoli and green beans.

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!

 And lastly, there will be time for a bathroom break and for you to visit our lovely souvenir shop on site, before boarding the bus and going back to the city!


*IMPORTANT: The Reindeer Sledding (30 minutes activity) is subject to good snow conditions and sometimes we must adjust the duration of this activity. If the weather does not allow us to run the sled-ride at all, we will offer you a partial refund. The rest of the tour will be held as normal.


*All animals used for these services are trained for the activity, however, the behaviour of these animals can be unpredictable and therefore it is essential that all participants follow all given instructions for their safety, and the safety of others.


*The sledding takes place as a "raid" where each reindeer and sled are bound together in a long row with the lead reindeer in the front. This means that sleds are shared, two participants per sled.
