Reindeer Sledding & Sami Culture Bus Tour from Tromsø with Hot Meal

About the Activity

What to Expect

If you are visiting Tromsø, you cannot miss our reindeer sledding tour with a visit to a Sami reindeer herd. Embark on an unforgettable adventure as you journey through a breathtaking winter wonderland. Departing from the city centre, a scenic 45-minute bus ride will lead you across the enchanting snowy landscapes to our camp. With an English and Norwegian-speaking guide accompanying you, you will be immersed in the beauty of the surroundings and the richness of the Sami culture.

Once at the camp, the excitement truly begins with a reindeer sledding adventure. Sharing a sled with a fellow traveller, you will glide through the serene, snow-covered terrain. The rhythmic sound of reindeer hooves and the crisp air filling your lungs create a magical and peaceful atmosphere. This traditional mode of transport offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and experience the Sami way of life.

After the invigorating ride, warm up with a bowl of traditional hot Sami stew. While you savour the flavours, learn about the fascinating Sami culture through artefacts, stories, and legends shared by our knowledgeable guide. As night falls, keep your eyes to the sky, for you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the northern lights, painting the heavens in breathtaking colours. This tour promises a tapestry of unforgettable experiences that will linger in your memory long after you leave Tromsø.
