General information

This tour is operated by Tromsø Lapland.

The camp is located around 50 minutes from Tromsø city centre, surrounded by mountains and beautiful Northern Norwegian scenery. Here, you will meet a herd of more than 120 reindeer. You can feed the reindeer, see them up close and take photos in peaceful, natural surroundings.

After visiting the reindeer, you will gather inside the lavvu, a traditional Sámi tent. Sámi guides will share stories about Sámi culture, traditions and everyday life with reindeer. You will also learn how these traditions are being passed on today.

A traditional Sámi dinner of bidos will be served. Bidos is a warming reindeer stew made with potatoes and carrots. A vegan and gluten-free alternative is also available. This consists of a Norwegian-style vegetable soup made with potatoes, swede, carrots, onion, leek, seasoning and stock.

The camp is located away from the brightest city lights. If the weather and aurora activity are favourable, you may also see the Northern Lights during the evening.

About Tromsø Lapland

We, the Sámi, are the Indigenous people of Scandinavia and have lived and worked with reindeer for centuries.


We have generations of knowledge and experience with these fascinating and charming creatures, which have helped us survive in the cold and extreme conditions of the north. The reindeer is the true hero of the Arctic.



We would like to invite you to visit our Sámi camp and join us for a genuine, family-friendly reindeer sledding safari with amazing views of the famous Lyngen Alps.



We hope you will learn to cherish and respect these curious, furry creatures just as we do!



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