Nighttime Sámi Experience: Reindeer Sledding, Feeding & Culture

Begin your Sámi evening with our partner, Tromsø Arctic Reindeer, on a 15–20 minute reindeer sledding ride along the coast. After the ride, feed around 300 of these magnificent animals and try your hand at lasso throwing (not on real reindeer) before stepping into the warm, candlelit gamme for a three-course meal including bidos, a traditional Sámi stew, with hot drinks and cookies. End the night gathered around the fire in the lavvu to enjoy joik (traditional Sámi songs) and stories about Sámi culture and reindeer herding, with the Arctic sky — and possibly the Northern Lights — as your backdrop.
