★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 6,417 reviews · 4 hours · from $198Our pick

Tromsø Sami reindeer sledding and feeding with a lavvu hot meal, joik songs, and cultural stories, plus warm drinks and snacks.

“Really enjoyable and interactive activity. I loved spending time with the reindeers and feed them myself, but also hearing about the Sami culture from a Sami woman directly. When it was too cold outside, we had the chance to go to one of the tents and have some warm drinks (and also lunch, when the time came). Everything went according to schedule and was a very complete activity overall.”

Feed 300 reindeer, take a short sled ride, warm up in a lavuu, then hear Sami stories and a joik in Tromso.

“I had a fantastic experience! The reindeers are cute, although one of them was a bit too eager during the feeding so it kept pushing the other reindeers (and me included) with its antlers. Nothing dangerous, but just keep an eye on their antlers! The sledding was nice, but I’m most excited about the Sami people. It was great learning about their history and culture while enjoying hot chocolate, cookies, and reindeer stew (vegan option available).”
