Description

At a prearranged meeting point in Tromso city center, board a coach destined for the reindeer camp—a traditional homestead located in Tromso’s frozen wilderness. On arrival, greet your guide and enjoy a feeding session with a herd of around 300 reindeer. After getting acquainted with the gentle creatures, board a sleigh for an exciting ride: as reindeer pull your sleigh over the snow, admire the frozen landscapes and snow-dusted flora of the region. Next, make yourself comfortable in a lavuu; warm up with steaming coffee and listen to stories derived from ancient Sami culture. In the comfort of the tent, enjoy a fulfilling lunch of bidos (flavorsome Sami soup) and sweet cake as you witness the performance of a joik (Sami folk song). When your tour concludes, return to central Tromso in a climate-controlled coach.
