Reindeer Feeding & Northern Lights Experience near Tromsø

Overview

This cultural experience takes you on a quest to find the Northern Lights while feeding a herd of reindeer at a traditional lavvo hut. You'll have plenty of time to interact with the animals, feed them, pet them, and take photos. In addition, your guide will share the Sámi people's stories, explain how they care for the reindeer, and divulge the secret to surviving the Arctic cold.

Then, together with your guide, you'll enjoy a hot meal while viewing cultural treasures. After dinner, huddle outside and watch the colors of the Northern Lights splash across the sky.

Not able to participate. Scheduled to begin 1 hour after our return from whale watching. This is after a long day of travel and la night of Nothern Lights. Kim Kim could have done a better job of scheduling to accommodate. The following day was just a travel day back to Oslo. Could we have done something then instead of trying to cram three excursions into 24 hour period? read more
