The best day we had in Tromso. Perfect half day trip, culture, wildlife, information and food! Ran very smoothly

A beautiful and heart warming experience. It was a memorable experience to interact and feed the reindeer and the sleigh ride was fun. Our hosts were kind and generous with their time and knowledge of the Sami people and their way of life, the meal prepared was tasty and vegetarians were catered for as well.

The Sami Culture Intro was very authentic and interesting. Jork and Storytelling was amazing . thanks a lot❤️

You will never regret, this team are so super professional everything was more than our expectations we haven't tried sledding but we could feed the reindeers as much as we wanted. Thanks Katy and Meyer for all your help and flexibility. Don't miss this opportunity it is as amazing as northern light.

This was a true highlight for our trip. A great experience for little kids. Grandma was completely blown away by the sights and the great stories. The reindeer are a little assertive, but it always felt safe even with the two year old.

About 45 minutes from tromso, we got there at sunset. The Sami woman that greeted us was so informative as to her culture. She answered so many questions, was completely open, told us folklore and traditions, and made the evening both enjoyable, and informative. It was lovely and picturesque to be able to see the reindeers at sunset. I wish the reindeer ride could have been longer and also would suggest that there be some alternatives to reindeer stew. Although it was nice to try, I feel like many of us would have liked to have some alternate options after the taste! Another suggestion would be to have some of their staff available to take photos. It was so picturesque and I think many of us would’ve appreciated having some of their staff there to take pictures . An added bonus was the northern lights that evening.

We had a wonderful time interacting with the reindeer and learning about the Sami people and their culture. It was a short distance from the city and made for a very pleasant evening! Very memorable experience

Just book it already! My husband and I had an amazing time with the reindeer and learning about the Sami reindeer herding history - it was a highlight of our time in tromso. Highly recommend it!

Its a great family activity, we had an amazing time and Angelica was so great. Would recommend 10/10 just make sure to wear layers because it can get cold 🥶

It was so thrilling to visit the Sami tribe and ride on a reindeer sledge in Tromso last week. We were given a small bucket with the feed for the reindeer and they were hungry and in a hurry to snatch it from my hands. It was indeed a lifetime experience to sit on the sledge and drive around. There was snow all around and it was beautiful to go around the route. The Sami girl gave us some tea and gave a lecture about their life. I felt it was in a fairly land and could not believe that I was actually talking to the deer and the Sami girl. It was indeed a great experience.

I went on the event "From Tromsø: Reindeer Ranch and Sami Culture Tour." It was a wonderful afternoon! When I went, the Samis hosting us were cousins who were working together, with one showing us his herd and the other explaining Sami culture and history. Feeding the reindeer was so interesting because I got to see how they act as a herd, how close to wild they are (even though in a "domesticated" herd, and see the animals up close. The presentation about Sami culture, history (including political struggles and the current impact of climate change), and singing was incredible. The man was not a scripted speaker--he shared with us from his real life. He said he shared as he did because he wants more people to know about the Sami--to know the beauty and dignity of their people and also to counteract harmful stereotypes. The Sami singing (joiking) was so well explained and beautiful to hear! The reindeer stew was tasty. The Sami cousins hosting the event were dignified hosts who gave us the honor of seeing a little bit of their lives. I don't know how often the Sami hosts change, but the ones from Feb 22, 2023 were incredible. The tour company that drove us to and from did a good job of getting us there in a timely, comfortable, safe way. (Safe doesn't feel like something I take for granted traveling north of the Arctic Circle.) My recommendation is to do a little research on Sami culture and reindeer so you can ask deeper questions. Both cousins were happy to share as I asked questions based on what I'd already learned.

Our group of 8 (including 2 children) did this last night. We loved it and would highly recommend! Although we didn’t see the lights (we didn’t expect to and had already seen them earlier in the week thankfully), the whole evening was magical - from our wonderful 3 course meal in the Sami tent, the feeding of the beautiful reindeer, the sleigh ride, the Sami culture telling…. Thank you so, so much!

Enjoyed an interesting and friendly experience from the Sami people. Reindeer are mostly gentle and enjoy being fed. Food and hot drinks all good.

I went there with my mom and we spent a really great time there. People are really kind and pay attention to all the details, you can have hot drinks if needed, if you are cold you can spend time near the fire. And the most special time was with reindeers: it was wonderful! You can get very close to them they are cute and kind animals. We did enjoy a lot, thank you!

Tromsø was experiencing uncharacteristically wet and windy weather the day of our tour, so we knew ahead of time that there would be no reindeer sleigh ride. There was no snow, only wet ground. The wind was so strong on the plateau where the Sami camp is located and it was very difficult to walk. Even the reindeer hunkered down away from where we were supposed to interact with them, sheltering from the wind under trees. Eventually they were coaxed to come to where we could feed them, and that was entertaining. You learned quickly to stay clear of their antlers. Once the feeding was ended we went into a big hut, a lavvu, for reindeer stew (or a vegetarian option), hot drinks, and cookies. The vegetarian stew was very tasty. After our lunch one of the Sami tribe members gave an excellent presentation on the Sami lifestyle, culture, and their challenges within Norwegian society. When we first arrived we felt the tour should have been canceled because of the wind. We still fell that way but we did appreciate the insight into the Sami people.
