From Tromso: Reindeer Feeding Guided Tour with Chance of Northern Lights

About this experience

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.
