Excellent trip, great experience.
Great experience. Amazing to meet a Sami farmer and his beautiful herd of reindeer. Feeding was a frenzy of fun, so lovely to be close to an animal that features every Christmas. Very interesting to hear about the Sami culture too. Snow shoeing with Lawrence and Mano was incredible. They were such good leaders and loved their tales and informative discussions. A bit tough at times but incredible views so well worth the effort. Very well organised 👏
Response from the operator: Dear Louise, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed meeting our Sami guide and feeding the reindeer, as well as learning about Sami culture. It’s great to hear that the snowshoeing with our guides, along with the amazing views, made the experience even more memorable. Welcome back to Tromsø Arctic Reindeer! 🤍

Incredible Reindeer Experience and Breathtaking Snowshoe Hike
Everything about this experience was excellent. The reindeer are clearly very well cared for and in great condition, which made the feeding part feel authentic and respectful. The snowshoe hike itself was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning scenery the whole way, and it was genuinely fun from start to finish. A perfect mix of nature, activity, and animal interaction. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Many thanks for your fantastic review! It's great to hear that you had a wonderful day on the snowshoeing tour with us. We really appreciate your feedback on the wellbeing of our reindeer! It was a pleasure to welcome you at our camp, and we look forward to meeting you again soon ✨

Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $197 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 Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 4.3 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 Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 16 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 Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch?
+
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 Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 6 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 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch 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 Chasing Lights: Aurora Big Bus Chase (All Photos Included), Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive, Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos. 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.
What is included in Tromso: Reindeer Feeding and Snowshoeing Tour with Lunch?
+
Included: Lunch; Last minute bookings available subject to availability; Snacks; Snowshoes and poles are included; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Shoes and other winter clothing; and Baby car seats on the bus (only booster seats are available). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
