Reindeer & Sami WinterAutumnSpring CB-2906597

If you want to meet reindeer up close but have limited time, this trip takes only about three hours. Depart Tromsø by bus and enjoy northern Norway coastal views for about 30-35 minutes to arrive at the Tromsø Arctic Reindeer camp, where a Sámi reindeer-herding family welcomes you. With a herd of hundreds of reindeer here, you can walk among the herd and hand-feed them.

While outdoors, you can also try lasso throwing as the Sámi have used to herd reindeer for generations (practice throwing at targets, not at real reindeer). Then head inside to warm up by the fire in a traditional Sámi earthen hut known as a gamme, with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies. For the final part, move to sit inside a lavvu tent to hear a Sámi guide share stories about traditions, history, and daily life of reindeer herders, and listen to joik, traditional Sámi folk songs.

Two departures are available: morning and afternoon. Returning to town midday or late afternoon leaves plenty of time to explore the city or join an evening Northern Lights tour. This trip does not include lunch and does not include reindeer sledding. Part of the activity takes place outdoors; you should wear at least two layers of warm clothing, a hat, gloves, and sturdy winter boots. For young children requiring an infant car seat, the organizer recommends taking a taxi equipped with a child seat instead of the bus.
