This reindeer sledge tour in Tromso is a must-do if you want to experience Sami traditions up close.

This reindeer sledge tour in Tromso is a must-do if you want to experience Sami traditions up close. Learning about the Sami culture directly from our guide, feeding the reindeer, and trying a traditional sledge ride was so special. The provided thermal suits and boots made it easy to enjoy the experience, and the delicious hot meal in the lavvu was a great way to warm up afterwards. The 7-hour itinerary was well-paced from start to finish. Just don’t forget to let them know about any dietary needs beforehand!

I was looking for a truly authentic Arctic experience, and this reindeer sledge tour in Tromso did not disappoint.

I was looking for a truly authentic Arctic experience, and this reindeer sledge tour in Tromso did not disappoint. Everything was well-organised, starting from Tromsø Havn Prostneset where the bus departed. The ride to Camp Tamok was smooth and relaxing, and once there, our English-speaking guide shared fascinating insights into the Sami way of life, which has shaped the Arctic for centuries. Feeding the reindeer and enjoying a short sled ride was incredible, and the warm meal by the fire in the lavvu was the perfect ending. Bring some extra layers for added comfort

Our whole family, including our 5-year-old, absolutely loved the reindeer sledge tour in Tromso!

Our whole family, including our 5-year-old, absolutely loved the reindeer sledge tour in Tromso! The provided thermal suits and boots were a lifesaver, keeping us comfortable in the chilly weather. The short sled ride was so much fun, and our little one especially loved feeding the reindeer. The tour’s easy pace meant everyone could join in, and gathering in the Sami tent for a warm meal and drinks afterwards was such a memorable touch. This is a wonderful way to experience Sami culture and the Arctic wilderness — highly recommended for families, available until late March.
