Tromsø: Reindeer Sled, Dinner, and Chance of Northern Lights

1.Reindeer Sled, Dinner, and Chance of Northern Lights

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,651 reviews · 4h 30m · from $219Our pick

Travel by bus from Tromsø to a Sami reindeer camp for hands-on feeding, a nighttime sled ride, a three-course meal, and stories about Sami life. Guides such as Anna, Luona, and Thea have led recent visits, with joik singing around the fire. The aurora is possible but never guaranteed.

“Everyone at the camp was incredibly kind and welcoming. The reindeer were very friendly and happily let us feed them, which was a truly special experience. Anna and Luona were wonderful storytellers, deeply passionate about the culture and history of Sámi people. Anna also has a beautiful voice and sang traditional Sámi songs for us, which made the evening even more memorable. The dinner was delicious and very nicely served. Although the forecast predicted cloudy skies, we were incredibly lucky to witness the most stunning Aurora. Truly unforgettable experience, I highly recommend.”
