About Tromsø Lapland Reindeer Camp

We Sámi are the indigenous people of Scandinavia and have been living and working with reindeers for centuries.


We have countless generations of knowledge and experience of the fascinating and charming creature that has helped us survive life in this cold and extreme nature of the north. The reindeer is the true hero of the Arctic.

Hopefully you will learn to cherish and respect these curious and furry creatures just like we do!



Our expert guides will also tell you about the secrets of surviving life in the Arctic and show you traditional artifacts and treasures from our culture.
