About the activity

Led by Tromsø Lapland, founded by authentic Sámi people with generations of reindeer herding traditions, this tour offers a genuine insight into Sámi culture and way of life. Established in 2009, Tromsø Lapland has the longest-running experience in creating authentic cultural encounters in the region. Perfect for families and explorers of all ages, this reindeer feeding excursion near Tromsø promises connection, discovery, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Sámi culture in Norway is an integral part of the country's cultural tapestry, particularly in the northern regions. The Sámi people are the indigenous inhabitants of Sápmi, which stretches across the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula in Russia. Reindeer herding is a traditional Sámi livelihood and a symbol of their culture. What better way to immerse yourself in the Arctic landscapes surrounding Tromsø and the indigenous culture of Norway than by taking a guided excursion to meet and feed reindeer, learn about Sámi culture, and enjoy a delicious and traditional Sámi meal?

Your adventure begins at the meeting point in Tromsø where you will depart for a scenic 45-minute drive to the Tromsø Lapland base. Upon arrival, you and your group will be greeted by your experienced and knowledgeable guide who will introduce you to the gentle and majestic reindeer. You will participate in their evening feeding session while learning more about these amazing animals. After the reindeer have had their dinner, so will you!

You'll be treated to a traditional Sámi reindeer stew with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate in a Lavvo-hut, a Sámi tent. Throughout your meal, your guide will share insights into Sámi culture and its history, as well as daily life. If luck is on your side, you will graced with the dancing colours of the Northern Lights. Don't forget to bring your camera! Afterwards, you'll return to the original departure point in Tromsø.

The reindeer feeding activity was a really fun and unique experience! The reindeer stew provided afterwards was also very delicious. The weather was not favourable during our stay in Tromsø and our other activities were cancelled due to the weather conditions, so we were thrilled that this activity was able to go ahead despite the bad weather. Our only critique / feedback would be that we would have liked more time to be dedicated to the educational discussion about the Sámi culture and history, as we felt it was very short and we would have loved to have had more time to ask more questions. However, we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening which made our trip to Tromsø memorable, and would definitely recommend this experience!
