After pickup from Tromsø in the morning or afternoon (depending on option selected), your tour starts with the 25-minute drive to the reindeer camp.
Feed the wild reindeer, enjoy a short reindeer-pulled sled ride (about 10 minutes), and try lasso throwing, if you wish (not on real reindeer). Then warm up with coffee inside a lavuu (traditional Sami tent), and listen to stories of Sami culture as you enjoy a hot lunch of bidos (a Sami soup) with more coffee and cake. Listen to the sounds of a joik (traditional Sami folk song), and then return to Tromsø to end your half-day tour.
