“It was a small group. We arrived in a smart, comfortable coach & were divided into three groups. There were plenty of helpful staff & it was well informed & well organised. It was breathtaking riding through pristine snowy, mountainous & forested landscape. Warming up in the cabin with roaring fire & hot drinks was convivial afterwards.

Night reindeer sledding in Tromsø with Sami camp dinner and a chance at the Northern Lights, about 4.5 hours in winter.

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 ;)”
