Details
Explore the traditional way of Sami people and get to know the beautiful fluffy creatures at a Sami reindeer camp.
Reindeer Experience & Feeding at Sami Camp in Tromsø is a perfect family activity. Our herders will let you walk among reindeer, stroke them, hand-feed them and tell you more about reindeer herding. Our family and our 300 reindeers are looking forward to your visit!
Tour programmeMeeting point
We will meet at the Tromsø Havn Prostneset bus terminal 20 minutes before the tour starts. There are two entrances: one by the buses and one between the terminal and the Clarion Edge hotel. Our guides will be located by the buses, where they will be ready to depart for the camp. From there, it will take approximately 25 minutes by bus to reach the Sami reindeer camp, where a local guide will be waiting for you.
Activity
We will introduce you to our cute friends and will give you buckets filled with their favourite food. You can walk among the reindeers, stroke them, hand-feed them and take pictures with them. If you are interested, a reindeer herder will tell you more about the herding and teach you how to throw a lasso (not on a reindeer though).
After this experience, you will enter a warm candle-lit traditional Sami hut gamme with a cosy atmosphere. Inside, we will serve you hot tea, coffee or hot chocolate around the fire. For lunch, we will serve you a home-made Sami soup bidos followed by cookies and more hot drinks. To finish your day at our camp, you will gather around the fire and listen to the storytelling of Sami Culture and traditional folk song joik.
