From Tromso: Reindeer Feeding Guided Tour with Northern Lights

This Arctic adventure takes you from Tromso to a traditional Sami reindeer camp, where you'll hand-feed nearly 200 gentle reindeer whilst learning about Sami culture and traditions. Your guide shares the deep connection between the Sami people and their herds as you travel through the stunning winter landscapes of the Lyngen Alps.

The tour combines cultural immersion with wildlife encounters and excellent chances to spot the northern lights. After feeding and interacting with the reindeer, you'll warm up in a traditional lavvu tent or cosy wooden cabin, enjoying hearty Biddos stew whilst your Sami guide tells fascinating stories and folklore about Aurora and northern life. The camp's location offers prime aurora viewing conditions when darkness falls.

Good to Know

The tour includes a 45-minute transfer each way from the pickup point at Radisson Blu Hotel in Tromso. Dress very warmly in layers and bring winter accessories, though warm boots and suits are provided at the camp. The experience is suitable for families with children, but children must be supervised at all times around the reindeer.

Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure and bring photo ID for check-in. The site has no wheelchair access due to the outdoor terrain and enclosure setup. Northern lights sightings depend on weather conditions and solar activity, though this region offers excellent viewing opportunities.
