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.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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 headed out by bus which took about half an hour. We were welcomed by a lovely Sami lady & had a short introduction. We then had loads of time with the reindeers feeding them & mingling. Unfortunately not enough snow to sleigh ride but it didn’t matter. You can warm up inside in one of the huts with lovely open fires & had plenty of hot drinks & cookies. Then we actually got to see the northern lights which was amazing!! A nice meal is then served in the cosy huts then some traditional folklore around the fire to end a once in a lifetime experience. Fab we loved it.

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 !

We're staying right down the street, can we just show up at the location instead of driving into Tromso?

Hi, my husband and I plan to visit in early August. I tried to book through TripAdvisor, but there are not dates available. Is that because I can't book that far in advance or because this experience isn't available during that time?
Pete R
Tromso, Norway
Hi!
Thank you for contacting us.
We are unfortunately not open in August. We are open from mid-November to mid-April. During the summers the reindeer are running free up on the mountains. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Peter / Tromso Artic Reindeer

Hello, Can we visit the farm with our rented car or we must use a tourbus from Tromso? If we go by ourself what are the prices? Thanks
What is normal for tipping?
Bonjour
Je ne comprend que le français, il y a t il des guides français pour pouvoir comprendre un peu l histoire des Sami?
Kiia K
Tromso, Norway
Bonjour!
I am sorry to reply in English. I hope it is okay for you.
We will have people in the camp that can speak French and help you if you have any questions. But unfortunately the Sami culture/history storytelling is in English and cannot be arranged in French, so all guidance would be in English. It is not possible unfortunately to get a private guidance and priavate guide who speaks French.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

Would this be suitable for a 1 year old?

yes, almost all the team at the camp have small kids so we are very used to looking after little ones and will make sure they stay warm and also get to be close but safe when with the reindeer.

Hello, it doesn't appear that the reindeer sledding goes too quickly? Reason I ask is because one of our parties is pregnant so wanted to check whether it's suitable for her. Thanks.
Pete R
Tromso, Norway
Thanks to the trip advsior community for taking care of this one. The reindeer are a beautiful and gentle animal and although they can run fast we do not push them and let them take their time just as was tradition when the Sami reindeer herders used the reindeer to help them carry their belongings (lavu, clothes, etc) as they migrated with the reindeer from the summer land to the winter land and then back again. We hope that you will get to feel how the Sami travelled and lived with the reindeer for many centuries.

Hi, Yes we are open during Christmas and New Year. You can see the tours we have available at our website when trying to make a reservation or also here on Trip Advisor when you make a booking. Any questions or problems just let me know! Kind regards, Peter
Hi, we are planning to visit Tromso on octorber this year for pre-wedding shooting. Is this place open and available at autumn? If so, what will be weather, package, and cost be on that season?
Thank you.
Pete R
Tromso, Norway
Hi,
We are normally closed during October as the Sami Reindeer herders spend this month in the mountains herding the reindeer. We also have no reindeer at the camp during October.
In October the weather is normally around 10 degrees. If you still would like to have a wedding shoot at the camp please email us and we can try and make a proposal for you.
