About the activity

Tromsø is a vibrant city in northern Norway known for its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and as a prime location for experiencing Arctic landscapes. On this reindeer sledding excursion from Tromsø, you'll venture into the pristine wilderness outside the city!

To start your experience, you'll be picked up from the meeting point in Tromsø city centre. After boarding the comfortable bus, you'll embark on a 1.5-hour scenic drive to Balsfjord, a stunning municipality in Troms og Finnmark County known for its breathtaking fjords, mountains, and tranquil rural landscapes. You'll arrive at the authentic reindeer farm and be greeted by the expert Sami host and caretaker of hundreds of reindeer. He will introduce you to the friendly and adorable reindeer!

You'll immerse yourself in the way of life of the local Sami people, the indigenous group in Europe. After listening to captivating stories from the guide, you'll go on a short reindeer sledding tour near Tromsø! Along the way, you'll be treated to unique views of the majestic fjords. You'll ride through the wide Arctic wilderness and serene mountains. Afterwards, hot drinks and cookies will be served inside a lavvu (tent), while the guide shows you authentic Sami clothing, living equipment and other items. Then, you'll be driven back to the original starting point in Tromsø.

Immerse yourself in the traditional Sami culture of Norway on this Arctic fjord reindeer sledding excursion from Tromsø!

Everyone was so nice, especially the reindeer owner! He was very detailed with the information and even let us kiss the Tiger (I believe it's the named of the reindeer). Everything was perfect!

The Sami guides were kind and welcoming. Their love of the reindeer is obvious as is their pride in their heritage.
