Reindeer tour
Sledding part had to be cancelled do to weather, but tour was great. Feeding reindeer was a lot of fun.
Response from the operator: We really appreciate your flexibility with the weather Arctic conditions can change quickly. We’re happy the reindeer feeding still made the day special and fun for you. Hopefully next time you’ll get to enjoy the sledding too! Warm wishes from the team at Tromso Lapland 🦌

Great Experience! Highly Recommend
We picked this experience for three reasons: 1) see the reindeer, 2) learn a bit about the Sami culture, and 3) a chance to see the northern lights away from the city lights. We achieved all three!!!! The reindeer were really cool, and feeding was very relaxed. These reindeer for fairly tame. We learned of the culture in the nice heated "tepee" and had our reindeer stew meal in the same. Our sled ride, although only 15 minutes, was perfect and we saw something not often seen..a shooting star blast through the aurora in a streak of fire ...once in a lifetime, and certainly you cannot plan for that, but if you are in the right place at the right time......Yes it is bit expensive ($215 pp), but it was very nice.
Response from the operator: What an absolutely incredible review❤️thank you! We are overjoyed that the magic of the Sámi culture was complimented by the beauty of the Northern Lights during your visit. That is truly a rare and special combination. We're glad we could share that unforgettable Arctic night with you.

Although, due to lack of...
Although, due to lack of snow, we didn't enjoy a reindeer sleigh ride, we enjoyed everything else. The feeding, the reindeer stew, Sami stories and of course we had a glimpse of the Northern Lights. A discount was offered. A great night.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! Although weather conditions didn’t allow for one of the planned activities, we’re really pleased to hear you still had a memorable and enjoyable evening. It’s great that you experienced the cultural elements and even witnessed a bit of the aurora. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to see you again soon!

Sámi Reindeer Sledding & Feeding with Chance of Northern Lights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Sámi Reindeer Sledding & Feeding with Chance of Northern Lights cost?
+
Prices start at $243 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tromso usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sámi Reindeer Sledding & Feeding with Chance of Northern Lights take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tromso is not rushed.
Is Sámi Reindeer Sledding & Feeding with Chance of Northern Lights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 176 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sámi Reindeer Sledding & Feeding with Chance of Northern Lights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sámi Reindeer Sledding & Feeding with Chance of Northern Lights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sámi Reindeer Sledding & Feeding with Chance of Northern Lights?
+
Around 62 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tromso can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tromso and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sámi Reindeer Sledding & Feeding with Chance of Northern Lights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tromso within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tromso?
+
On Outty we rank every Tromso experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Minibus Chase from Tromsø with Chasing Lights, Northern Lights Big Bus Chase with Chasing Lights, Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tromso?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tromso?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
