Join Sami guides for an unforgettable experience of reindeer feeding and Sami culture.
After meeting in the city centre and a 25-minute seaside drive, we arrive at the camp, where the reindeer will be waiting for you. At the camp, you will have the chance to feed the herd of around 300 reindeer that will swarm around and might even eat from your hands, and you will learn to use the lasso (but not on real reindeer).
Inside a gamme, you will enjoy a traditional Sami meal cooked over the fire and warm drinks. A vegetarian option is also available.
After lunch, you will be invited into a lavvu and gather around the fire to listen to stories about Sami culture and how it is to be a reindeer herder. The Sami guide will also perform a joik (traditional Sami song) for the guests.

Join two of the most popular activities in Tromsø. Go dogsledding in the morning and head out in the evening to find the northern lights. A full day program with a break of about 3h between activities.
Leave from the city centre and journey to Villmarkssenter, one of the leading dog sledding centres in Norway. With 300 Alaskan huskies you’ll get time to meet them before heading out with a team of your own dogs
Be sure to choose the right option if you want to drive the sled yourselves (see t&c’s before booking) otherwise an experience guide will take you out (children must be accompanied by an adult).
After an enjoyable warm lunch you’ll be taken back to town for you to explore the city or rest if you wish before leaving in search of the northern lights.
You’ll head out in a bus out away from the city lights to find the best spots to see the Northern Lights. This can change depending on the weather, so be prepared as it can mean a long journey (about 7hours). A professional photographer will be available to assist you to take photos with the Aurora.
VILLMARKSSENTER welcomes you in the arctic wilderness!
Join them for a dog sled trip on Kvaløya, one of Norway’s largest islands. See great views of the mountains surrounding Tromsø and towards the Balsfjord and Malangen peninsula.
With about one hour of dogsledding you also get to meet our 200 Alaskan Huskies up close and spend some time with the puppies. With a 2:1 guest to guide ratio, everyone will have a sled driven by a professional musher.
After a ride in the Norwegian winter a hearty meal of Bidos, prepared with reindeer meat, broth and vegetables is just what the body needs. They serve the meal in their camp around the fire (vegetarian meal available on request).
