Advanced dog sledding from Tromsø to Camp Tamok, where you take the reins, swap driving roles, meet the huskies, and warm up with a hearty meal.

“All of the staff were French or Belgian which was a weird surprise.Also the dogs only responded to French commands. Me and my partner speak French so wasn't an issue, but it was genuinely sad to see an activity completed presented by foreigners - it makes me sad to think opportunities for locals are not created even if the cost would be more perhaps. The activity itself was fun although not for the faint of heart. The while course required a high level of fitness which meant that my girlfriend didn't have a chance of being the driver. would have been nice if there was a few more flat areas…”

It was breathtaking riding through pristine snowy, mountainous & forested landscape. Warming up in the cabin with roaring fire & hot drinks was convivial afterwards. Camp Tamil is charming lit up at night. We didn’t stay overnight as some did but returned to Tromsø which we preferred.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 150 reviews · 7 hours · from $242Best value

Evening reindeer sledding at Camp Tamok from Tromsø with Sami culture, warm stew in a lavvu, and a real chance of northern lights.

“We really enjoyed the tour. It was nice to learn more about the reindeer, feed them and have the opportunity to sled with them. I really enjoyed to hear the stories of the sami people. The only negative point was the temperature on the bus. First was way too cold (12°C), after was way too hot (27°C) and I almost got sick. Please try to work on the regulation of the temperature of the bus, so that the people can enjoy your tour even more ;)”

“Our reindeer sledding day at Camp Tomok will always stay in our memories We arrived and were given clear guidance for the plan for the day and then joined Sami Dad and Daughter. We found them both informative, characterful and gave us confidence for our fun sledding and the star of the show - the reindeer - just magical. Also the stew and company great. One fly in the ointment was a very small birchwood wooden cup cost an eye watering amount of £134 which we miscalculated on the conversion rate to be £15 and were shocked to see our credit card!! Despite that I would recommend this trip to…”
