Reindeer Feeding & Small-Group Coastal Tour

Join a small-group coastal tour, feed reindeer by hand and enjoy a traditional reindeer meal surrounded by Arctic scenery.

About us

This tour is operated by Wondering Reindeer.

Join us for a small-group coastal sightseeing tour and reindeer-feeding experience.

Enjoy a scenic drive along the coast, taking in beautiful landscapes, dramatic mountains and stunning seaside views. Along the way, we'll stop at selected viewpoints to admire the surrounding scenery.

Upon arrival at the reindeer camp, you'll have the opportunity to feed the entire herd of reindeer by hand. After spending time with these magnificent animals, we'll gather around an open fire inside a traditional Sámi lavvo (tent) to enjoy hot drinks and biscuits.

Inside the lavvo, you'll also experience joik (traditional Sámi singing) performed by Sámi people and learn more about Sámi traditions.

You'll gain insight into Sámi culture and history. With a small group, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and develop a deeper understanding of Sámi traditions and their way of life.

A traditional meal will also be served during the tour.
