Sámi Reindeer Tour with Own Car

About us

This tour is operated by Sállir Reindeer.

Visit our Sámi reindeer-herding family at our home in southern Sállir/Kvaløya. Our small groups allow time to speak with us, ask questions and spend time close to the reindeer.

When the guests arrive, members of our family welcome you and provide protective outerwear, footwear and gloves. The reindeer enclosure is a short walk from the parking area. During winter, we bring some of our reindeer closer to our home, where they receive care.

At the enclosure, the guest can feed the reindeer, observe them at close range and try lasso throwing. We answer questions about the animals, reindeer herding and living Sámi culture.

Afterward, we gather around the open fire inside our lávvu. We serve biscuits with coffee, tea or hot chocolate while sharing stories about Sámi culture, our family's life with the reindeer and the duodji handicrafts we create. The visit offers a personal introduction to a culture and livelihood that is part of our everyday life.
