Experience Details

Meet and feed the herd of 300 reindeers and listen to authentic stories of Sami People - Indigenous of the North. The location has little artificial light and excellent conditions to look for the Northern Lights. Instead of heading back to the city centre where you might miss a late night dance from the Aurora, stay on in this good location in a traditional Sami lavvu, sleeping on reindeer skins in winter-insulated sleeping bags.

What You’ll Experience

We cannot predict when lady aurora shows up, but we are lucky to have a location with very little light pollution and beautiful nature to experience this phenomenon in all its splendour! Join our tour to get really close to the reindeer! You will spend some time in the fence and feed our lovely reindeers. Right after, it is time for dinner. We will gather in our Gamme (Traditional Sami hut) where you will enjoy some hot drinks and taste our traditional reindeer stew. When we are all settled and comfortable, our Sami guide will tell you more about the Sami culture and history, they will show you some of our traditional handicrafts. At the end of the tour, when the rest of the group heads back to Tromsø, you will be accompanied to your tent where you will learn how to keep yourselves warm through the night, just like it has been done for centuries, in what we call “hot tent camping”. Now you can get comfortable and unwind! *Each tent has space for 1 to 4 travelers. The set up is two queen sized beds separated by the wooden stove. *Solo travelers may share the tent with a second traveler.
