If you’re looking for adventure and culture, with a reindeer involved, look no further than a reindeer sledding tour in Tromso.

Why go on a reindeer sledding tour in Tromso?

1/5

A rare wildlife encounter

Reindeers are a key part of the Arctic ecosystem, embodying both the rugged beauty and the delicate balance of life in the far north. These gentle creatures have an air of mystery, and getting close to them feels uniquely special—especially when you consider that the Sami folk have been tending to these herds for countless generations, preserving traditions that span centuries. You'll be able to pet and even snap photos with them—a special memory for animal lovers.

Breathtaking Arctic landscapes

You’ll glide through vast snow-covered plains, passing frost-laden birch and pine trees that sparkle like icy sculptures. In the distance, the jagged peaks of the Lyngen Alps rise dramatically, glowing in the soft hues of polar twilight. The Arctic wilderness is calm and quiet, with only the sound of the sled and the steady steps of the reindeer breaking the silence. It’s a peaceful way to experience this frozen wonderland.

A chance to see the Northern Lights

Reindeer sledding tours are offered day and night, and evening excursions give you the chance to see the magical Northern Lights. You'll venture out into the Arctic wilderness far from the city lights, where your chances of spotting the auroras are much higher. Imagine gliding through the snow on a reindeer-drawn sleigh, with the Northern Lights dancing above—a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Perfect for all ages and abilities

Unlike more physically demanding activities like dog sledding or snowmobiling, reindeer rides are gentle and accessible for all ages. Children, seniors, and travelers with varying mobility levels can enjoy this experience, making it ideal for families and multi-generational groups.

Eco-friendly adventure

Reindeer sledding is an environmentally sustainable activity. It relies on the natural relationship between the Sami people and their reindeer, leaving a minimal carbon footprint. By choosing this tour, you're supporting eco-friendly tourism and contributing to the preservation of traditional practices.

Storytelling around a bonfire

The Sami people have a rich storytelling tradition, often shared while sitting around a campfire inside a 'lavvu tent' (a traditional Sami camp). These tales include folklore about reindeer, natural spirits, and the Northern Lights, adding a mystical element to the experience. Many tours offer a storytelling session where you can hear these legends firsthand, gaining a unique cultural perspective.

Photography opportunities

From the reindeer herds and Sami tents to the stunning Arctic landscapes, you'll find countless chances to capture beautiful photos. Guides are happy to help you take pictures and suggest the best spots for stunning shots. If the Northern Lights are visible, guides offer tips for photographing them, as they know the best settings for cameras in low light.

Gift shops and handicrafts

At the end of your tour, you'll have the chance to browse and purchase handcrafted items made by Sami artisans. These can include intricate silver jewelry, hand-woven textiles, carved wooden tools, and traditional clothing. Purchasing these souvenirs not only gives you a tangible memory of your trip but also supports the preservation of Sami traditions and craftsmanship.

Stargazing like never before

The skies around Tromso offer a breathtaking stargazing experience. Far from light pollution, the night sky reveals a glittering tapestry of stars, constellations, and sometimes even planets visible to the naked eye. The clarity of the Arctic air enhances every detail, making the stars appear sharper and brighter. On particularly clear nights, you may even glimpse the Milky Way stretching across the horizon.

Discover reindeer herding traditions

Reindeer are deeply woven into the fabric of Sami history and culture. For centuries, Sami people have depended on reindeer for transportation, food, clothing, and tools. Reindeer herding is more than a livelihood; it's a way of life passed down through generations. On your tour, you'll gain insight into this ancient relationship and the sustainable herding practices that protect both the animals and the Arctic ecosystem.

Traditional Sami cuisine

Some tours offer a taste of Sami food, like the warming dish called bidos—a reindeer meat stew cooked over an open fire. It's a hearty meal that feels especially satisfying after a day out in the cold. Vegetarian options are often available, but it's always wise to inform the tour operator in advance.

Arctic wildlife encounters

Tromso's Arctic wilderness is home to a variety of fascinating wildlife. Look for Arctic foxes scurrying across the snow, snow-white ptarmigans blending into their frosty surroundings, or majestic eagles soaring overhead. Your tour guide will point out these hidden gems of the Arctic ecosystem and offer insights into their behavior and habitats.

Plan your Tromso reindeer experience

Reindeer sledding tours in Tromso typically operate from early November to late April, aligning with the winter season when snow conditions are optimal. Most tours run multiple times throughout the day:

Morning tours are ideal for enjoying the crisp winter air and catching the beautiful Arctic light.
Afternoon tours are great for those who prefer a mid-day adventure; the light is often softer, perfect for photos.
Evening/night tours are the most popular as they offer a chance to see the Northern Lights while enjoying the sledding experience.

Best time to go: For the best experience, plan your tour between December and March, when the nights are the longest and the Aurora Borealis is the most active.

Remain with the tour group at all times. Arctic conditions can make it easy to lose your way, so follow your guide closely.
Reindeer are sensitive animals, and loud noises can disturb them. Keep noise to a minimum, especially during sledding or reindeer feeding times.
Avoid using flash when photographing the reindeer, as it can startle them. Check with your guide before taking photos to ensure the animals remain comfortable.
Bring only essential items on the tour, as extra baggage can be cumbersome and difficult to carry during the ride.

Dress warmly to tackle the Arctic chill with moisture-wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and a waterproof, windproof jacket. Don't forget thermal socks, insulated gloves, and a warm hat to stay comfortable. Arctic weather can be unpredictable, so check the forecast regularly and stay flexible with your plans.
Cold temperatures can drain phone and camera batteries fast, so bring a portable charger to keep your devices powered throughout the tour. Battery bags, and socks over the battery-operated device is also a great way to save your phone or camera juice!
While some tours provide refreshments, bringing a thermos of your favorite hot drink and a few snacks can keep you warm and energized during the tour.
Reindeer sledding is a safe, low-impact activity, but if you have back or joint concerns, it's wise to check with your doctor beforehand to ensure a comfortable experience.
Impress your Sami guides by learning a few words in their language, such as 'buorre beaivi' (good day) or 'giitu' (thank you). It's a thoughtful way to show respect and appreciation for their culture.

BE CAREFUL, when booking with them. They canceled two reservations for us. And they still haven't returned the money. First they said 2 to 5 days. Then wait 10 days. And there are already more than 20 and they do not want to give us proof of the return and they avoid the problem. We have sent WhatsApp, email and chatted and called the "numbers they give" and so far no refund or receipt. Our next step will be unfortunately EU consumer service. And whatever it takes to stop them from keeping our money. It's unfortunate that we thought they would be a serious company with better service.

Friendly staff and friendly reindeer.Absolutely incredible. We started our journey with a bus to the reindeer, which took about 45 minutes. When we got there the staff told us exactly what to do and what not to do. We started feeding the reindeer for about 20 minutes. We could come back for more buckets of food so there was no limit to how much we needed (the reindeer were very friendly too!). After the 20 minutes our group was called to go reindeer sledding, we sat on the sled and then left, there was a blanket provided which was very warm. We did the reindeer sledding for about the same time, 20 minutes. After that we went inside to eat our reindeer stew (vegetarian options were available). The reindeer tasted very good and there were some snacks available, also provided some coffee and hot chocolate. After we all finished eating one of the Sami people told us all about his culture and how they move from the summer land to the winter land and much more. Overall a fantastic experience and a great place to go on holiday.

Efficient transportation, helpful orientation, and provision of thermal suits. Despite being accustomed to freezing US winters (-20 to -40 Fahrenheit not uncommon in late December) and being dressed in layers, including parkas, we were freezing. So TAKE THE SUITS when offered. The lavvu was very warm, so the layers were helpful after running in and out to see the lights before dinner. Our hosts were very flexible with the hot drinks, the meal was simple and beautifully presented. The sledding and reindeer feeding was a hoot, the lights were slowly starting to grow as we finished the ride and a full moon/stars complemented the beautiful scenery. Leaving Tromsø in the evening, as charming as the city is, was the best plan we made. Our Sami guides were equally charming during a conversational culture lesson. None of it felt rushed or rehearsed. It happened to be New Years Eve and after a wonderful evening the bus ride included sparkling, crystal clear snow and the start of fireworks EVERYWHERE along the harbour. Even if Lady Aurora is shy, the people, animals and country are worth the trip. Thanks to everyone who made it a special New Years Eve. Highlight of the trip for 17 AND 22 year old children, as well as their parents.
