Choose your format

What kind of reindeer visit fits your trip?

The important choice is whether you actually want a sled ride, or would rather spend the visit feeding the herd and learning from your Sámi hosts.

Ride and feed

Daytime sledding

Sled ride + feeding + lunch

Choose the four-hour Arctic Reindeer tour for the full camp programme in daylight. Tromsø Lapland adds thermal suits and lists up to 30 minutes on the sled, with a longer road transfer. Both rides depend on snow.

Stay for dinner

Evening camp

Sled ride + dinner

Pick this for a short sled ride, a three-course meal and Sámi stories after dark. The aurora is a possible extra at the fixed camp, not a reason to expect a guided chase.

Before you book

Read the sledding option, not just the title

Two tours with almost the same title can give you different days at camp.

  • Check what is included. The short camp visit offers separate sledding and feeding options. The feeding-and-lunch visit has no sled ride.
  • Allow for snow changes. The Tromsø Lapland ride lasts up to 30 minutes when snow allows; the operator states a partial refund if it cannot run at all.
  • Choose the evening for the camp. Dinner, reindeer and Sámi stories are the reliable parts of the evening tour. Northern lights remain a chance.

Common questions

Reindeer and Sámi tour questions

Check the exact ticket, restrictions and meeting point for your date before booking.

Choose the right ticket

What is the difference between the two bestselling reindeer tours?

The shorter camp visit asks you to choose a sledding or feeding option and does not list a meal. The four-hour daytime tour includes both sledding and feeding, plus a warm lunch and Sámi storytelling. Read the option name at checkout before paying.

Does the reindeer camp tour with lunch include sledding?

The feeding-and-lunch camp visit focuses on the herd, a meal, storytelling and joik; its listed inclusions do not include a sled ride. Choose the daytime sledding tour or the Tromsø Lapland tour if riding is essential.

How long is the reindeer sled ride?

The Tromsø Lapland tour allows up to 30 minutes when snow permits. Tromsø Arctic Reindeer describes its evening ride as about 15–20 minutes. A four-hour tour is mostly transfers, feeding, a meal and cultural time, not four hours on the sled.

Is the evening reindeer tour an aurora package?

It is a camp evening with feeding, sledding, dinner and Sámi stories. You may see the northern lights if the sky cooperates, but the group stays at the camp and does not drive to find clear skies. Choose a road chase if seeing the aurora is your main goal.

Weather and families

What if snow prevents the sled ride?

Tromsø Lapland says the camp visit continues and it offers a partial refund if the sled cannot run at all. Check the exact terms on your ticket; they may differ between operators and options.

Are these tours suitable for children?

Several camp visits welcome families, but cold outdoor feeding, booster seats and the selected sled option matter. Check the youngest child’s eligibility and clothing needs on the booking page before paying.
