A beautiful and heart warming experience. It was a memorable experience to interact and feed the reindeer and the sleigh ride was fun. Our hosts were kind and generous with their time and knowledge of the Sami people and their way of life, the meal prepared was tasty and vegetarians were catered for as well.

We had an amazing time at the reindeer farm! The sledding was very different from dog sledding - it was relaxing and we were able to see the beautiful landscape. Feeding the reindeer was fun. Each deer has his or her own personality. One was a grumpy older reindeer than pushed others away. Another was beautiful, but not very bright. We were able to feed them, get up close for photos, and even pet the friendly ones. The Sami lunch was really filling and very delicious. My husband ate the reindeer stew and I had the vegetarian vegetable soup. Both of us were very pleased! The presentation by a Sami young lady was very entertaining. We learned a lot about the Sami history and culture. We were shocked to find out that she was just 19 years old! If you are near Tromso go enjoy this fascinating place.

This was a true highlight for our trip. A great experience for little kids. Grandma was completely blown away by the sights and the great stories. The reindeer are a little assertive, but it always felt safe even with the two year old.

Only a short drive from Tromsø on the coach. The Sami guides were welcoming and friendly The reindeer feeding was a highlight as was listening to the stories of the Sami culture.

Just book it already! My husband and I had an amazing time with the reindeer and learning about the Sami reindeer herding history - it was a highlight of our time in tromso. Highly recommend it!

Very well organised. Lovely to get up so close to and feed the reindeer. Fantastic insight into Sami culture. Lovely hot chocolate and lunch.

This was such a fun experience! There were lots of reindeer and they were excited to be fed! It was so cool seeing them up close and personal ! The sled ride was really cute too - the reindeer aren't very fast but it's a nice enjoyable experience. The stew was hot and tasty and just what we needed after a long cold day! Really one of the highlights of our trip! And they were able to accommodate us on short notice so bonus points !!

This experience was well-worth it, especially since it lasted for hours. We didn’t feel rushed at all and had plenty of time to take pictures, hang out with the reindeer, eat, and do everything else. It’s truly a unique experience since there’s hundreds of reindeer you can interact with and feed. Close interaction with the reindeer was by far our favorite part.

Enjoyed an interesting and friendly experience from the Sami people. Reindeer are mostly gentle and enjoy being fed. Food and hot drinks all good.
