What a great trip! Loved every minute of it. Learnt so much about the Sami way of life. The lunch was tasty and feeding the reindeer was so enjoyable. We couldn’t do the sledding element of our trip as the ground was too icy, but we were refunded promptly for that, but it certainly didn’t detract from our visit. Really, really enjoyable day.

Well put together experience by Tromso Arctic Reindeer. Gentle Reindeer Sledding, over only a short distance but made it suitable for all age groups. Loved meeting & feeding the Reindeer...there were some real characters! The Sami experience was excellent & made our day. The entertaining & informative talk by our 19yr old Sami guide who engaged us all informing us of past & present practices. So important to learn from history & about different cultural beliefs, dress & lifestyle. Great setting all sitting round on Reindeer hide covered benches with a roaring central fire in a big tent. Traditional Reindeer stew served was so delicious they generously allowed us a second helping! Great selection of gifts to buy onsite, with everyone so welcoming & helpful. In beautiful plateau setting surrounded by mountains. Good transport arrangements from Tromso.
