Ride a reindeer sled near Tromsø, feed a 300-strong herd, warm up in a lavvu with Sami stew and joik singing on a 4-hour tour.
“Feeding the reindeer was super cool. The Sami guides are knowledgeable and really interesting. The hot drinks and cookies were nice refreshments to warm up. The sledding was nice, would have been even better if it had been a longer ride!”
Hybrid-electric whale watching from Tromsø to Skjervøy for a close, quiet Arctic cruise with a real chance of orcas and humpbacks.
“They didn’t give up until we saw a beautiful orca family! We even saw a baby orca. Throughout the trip they periodically made informative presentations and they were very friendly. The bar was not expensive and had many options. It was a beautiful trip that we would recommend for everyone.”

Hand-feed 300 reindeer from Tromsø, warm up in a Sámi lavvu with lunch, then finish with joik songs and stories.
“Feeding the reindeer was obviously the highlight of the trip but a surprising (to me) close second place goes to the talk from the Sami herder. Extremely interesting and gave real depth to the Sami culture, the love and care they give to the reindeer and the reverence in which they hold their land. Understandably…”
Chase the Northern Lights from Tromsø on a 7-hour minibus hunt with thermal suits, hot chocolate, and expert-led photo stops.
“We got to see the Northen Lights before the trio even starts and then we went to a perfect spot where we saw again. The minibus also stopped two different times so we could see more of it, money well spent although there was no campfire where the place we went it was prohibited. Definetely…”

You get to spend ample time feeding the reindeers and do not feel rushed at any point. the sled ride was great. The information and singing about…”
