Included Experience

Ticket: "Tromso Reindeer Feeding and Saami Culture Experience"

Location: Tromsø, Norway

Suitable for: 2 adults + 2 children

During this excursion, your family will be transferred from Tromsø to a traditional Sámi camp, where you will have the chance to feed reindeer, learn about reindeer herding, and hear authentic stories from Sámi guides. Many tours also include a warm traditional meal served in a lavvu (Sámi tent) and the possibility to enjoy hot drinks while relaxing by the fire.

As your travel agent, I recommend preparing for this trip with a mix of practical guides and inspiring reading. For general travel planning in Norway and Tromsø, consider using: "Lonely Planet Norway" and "DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Norway" for maps, itineraries, and family-friendly tips. For more detail on the Arctic region and Northern Norway, "Bradt Guide: Northern Norway" is particularly useful. To understand Sámi history and culture, look for accessible introductions such as "Sámi: An Indigenous People of the North" (various editions) and collections of Sámi legends or folktales, which are great to read with children before your trip. If you enjoy nature-focused reading, books on the Northern Lights and Arctic wildlife—often available in local Tromsø bookstores—will enrich your experience and help the whole family appreciate the landscapes, animals, and traditions you’ll encounter during your reindeer feeding and Sámi culture excursion.
