About
Tromsø Arctic Reindeer Experience is a complete Sami Reindeer experience carried out by traditional Sami Reindeer Herders within a 30 minute drive of Tromsø. We offer a number of packages but with all you will be hosted by Reindeer herders who will show and teach you about Reindeer herding and Sami culture. We have thousands of reindeer in the mountains and a herd of around 200 Reindeer at the camp so you are guaranteed to experience the joy of being close to these wonderful creatures, the feeling of coming into a warm lavvu (Sami tent) and the sounds of the traditional joik (Sami singing). This is a ritual which for us is an important way of life and it is our pleasure and aim to let you feel and experience it. We look forward to welcoming you.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a really great experience with the Sami and their reindeer. It was bitterly cold and a blizzard was blowing but it was still a wonderful trip/

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 scenery in the area we did the reindeer sleigh was just breathtaking snow in each direction all the way to snow capped mountains. The reindeer were so cute and shy! And hanging out with the indigenous Sami people was so fascinating. A really lovey Sami woman told us all about their history and it’s incredible that people still live in such snowy environments and are completely in tune with nature and do reindeer herding !

I totally recommend this tour, it had everything you could want for an all-round Sami experience. We opted for the evening trip and arrived at the Sami camp by coach (not minibus as advertised), picked up from outside the Radission Blu in Tromso.
Lovely warm log fire in the Sami house, hot chocolate and biscuits, smiling friendly hosts, then we went outside to feed the enthusiastic reindeer! everyone was handed a bucket filled with kibble although nobody was forced to feed them and some decided to stay inside next to the toasty fire instead. Some of us then took a reindeer sled ride around the camp, which was fun (make sure you wrap up!). Food was excellent quality, the salmon salad starter super fresh and the stews tasty (I opted for the vegetarian stew which was a combination of tomato and lentil and very flavourful), my partner opted for reindeer which he enjoyed. Chocolate cake and more coffee for dessert and we were very full. Super engaging nd informative talk by lovely Sami girl for around an hour, including a Yoik where we were encouraged to join in. This experience exceeded our expectations.

It was a good experience especially with some introductions of the Sami people and culture. Really introspective. The reindeers themselves were meh (imo); the sledding ride is okay but could skip if you wanted to; this is more controlled like a mini-train amusement that you find in malls or local festivals. But I understand why its tamed because its a herding ground and reindeers thrive in open cold environments. Really short and tamed. Feeding of the reindeers were bit great and cautious because of the female reindeers (with the antlers) can be aggressive and hungry for feed so watch your back before you get hurt or your clothes rip because of the sharp antlers. Also reindeer soup is delicious; taste exactly like a beef goulash/stew. They got vegetarian option if you like. Another caution, watch your step (theres reindeer poop/pee in the snow EVERYWHERE)

Otherwise it was a good experience especially hearing about the Sami people/culture (for me at least)
