Hello, santa! We are coming to town - Reindeer feeding and sleigh were both fantastic experience. Meeting place is easy to find The reindeer seems to be jumping on our back , maybe asking for more feeding, which is a little scary and certainly scared my wife, which cused her to abandon the feeding participation. The Sami culture story telling was enlightening and entertaining. Although the chance to have a northern light sighting ahould have not been offered, for it was never mentioned in the tour and it misled us in believing that we will be lucky to see the northern lights. We came back with disappointment. Good my daughter who went on an aurora hunting trip last november suggested we should take an exclusive aurora hunting with Wandering Owl, which is a 15 years tour operator and we were lucky to have joined it in last minute registration on the next day, despite being discouraged due to the end season for northern light hunting in end of march. I suggest not to take this tour for aurora hunting, you will likely to get disappointed. Join an exclusive hunting expedition instead Overall, this tour is marvelous and full of excitemnt

Family fun! - Our family of 6 had a great time! We got to go on a reindeer sled, feed a large group of reindeer, and listen to stories of the Sami people. We had so much fun! Unfortunately, the weather was too cloudy to see the northern lights though that's no one's fault.

Highly recommended - We had a great time. It was fun feeding the reindeer. It was good to see them at night. There were lights so you could see them and take pictures. We had plenty of time. The sleigh ride was fun. Food good and the talk very interesting.

It was a great experience! - It was a good experience. The hosts did a great job and told us a lot about the Sami culture. The food was really good as well! Getting to interact with the reindeer was fun as well. They’re kind of like big puppies who aren’t afraid to let you know they’re hungry!

An amazing experience - It was a really well-organized experience. Due to the heavy rain on the day of our visit, the sledding was cancelled. We were offered either a full refund or a partial one, which would allow us to join other parts of the tour. This was very well communicated, so we chose to join, and we're glad we did. Reindeer feeding was really fun. After that we were served a nicely prepared 3-course dinner at the camp: salmon salad, reindeer stew and chocolate cake (vegetarian options were also available). We enjoyed learning about the Sami culture. The staff was engaging the audience and had interesting stories to tell. Definitely a must-do in Tromso.

A great evening spent in Tromso - We had a wonderful evening meeting the Reindeer and learning about the Sami culture. It was a very relaxing evening and nothing was rushed. Plenty of time to feed to Reindeer and have a sleigh ride before a great 3 course meal and hots drinks beside the fire. The talk after dinner was very interesting. The travel included was well organised. Just a 25 min bus ride.

Great People, but Meh Experience - We were a big bus full. Did not spend time in a Lavvi but in a double wide wooden building...shaped like 2 Lavvi together. Nice big fire. Lots of time feeding reindeer. Too much time eating dinner which was really Meh. If you are showing off your reindeer, try to make the stew with meat you can chew and isn't so very gamey. Sami presentation was interesting. Just one guy. Maybe 15 minutes total and a very brief Sami song. I did not feel it was good value at over $300 for the two of us.
