A really authentic and genuine look into Sami culture. You get to explore different islands with a lot of scenic stops along the way. The highlight being the reindeer and sharing of Sami songs. A generous lunch is included.

One of the most authentic and comprehensive Sami experience in Tromso. You get a scenic drive with different photo opportunities, reindeer feeding, bonfire chilling with stories and a free lunch inside a hotel included. The tour is organised by a traditional Sami herder and his family, and we were lucky to meet Reiulf. He was very candid in sharing stories growing up as an indigenous person, and it was very informative listening to his sharing. The reindeer feeding experience was also enjoyable, where we got to learn more about reindeer habits. It was a half-day well spent, where you get to see different sides of Tromso in an intimate group setting, and I high recommend this tour if you want to experience the local Norwegian culture.

I highly recommend this experience! Everything was well-organized and punctual. We started in the city center and drove out toward Sommarøy Island for a quick change before heading to meet the reindeer, with several stops along the way to take in the scenery and snap some photos. They provided suits for those who wanted them, but no shoes (as advertised), so plan accordingly. Our guide was the owner of the reindeer, a true Sami. While his English wasn’t perfect, he communicated well, sharing fascinating insights about his culture and answering all our questions. When we arrived, we were surrounded by reindeer—some were shy and wild, while others were curious and unafraid. As soon as we started feeding them, they rushed over, sniffing and interacting with us. It was an incredible experience. Afterward, we gathered inside a traditional Sami tent around a warm fire, enjoying hot drinks while listening to stories about the Sami people. We also stopped at a beach for pictures, had a delicious buffet lunch, and made it back to the city around 16:00. The guide and his daughter were wonderful—so kind and welcoming to everyone. I’d absolutely do this again!
