About Tromsø Arctic Reindeer

We are a traditional Reindeer herding family offering authentic Sami Reindeer experience with over 300 Reindeer at the camp within a 30-minute drive from Tromsø.

You get to feed these magnificent animals and experience the joy of being close to Reindeer, the feeling of coming into a warm lavvu (Sami tent) and gamme (Sami Wooden Hut), the smells and tastes of traditional Sami food and the sounds of the traditional joik.



All of our tours are family-friendly and suitable for even the youngest of children and infants. On our tours we offer traditional and delicious Sami food and are happy to cater for special food requests such as vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
