Spend a day with the indigenous people and try the oldest form of transport in the North! Keen to meet the indigenous Sami people, hear their stories and have a close-up encounter with their reindeer?  

Join us for an authentic experience at our wilderness center Camp Tamok, a 90-minute scenic bus drive away from the city center of Tromsø.  
Upon arrival at Camp Tamok, we will first provide warm winter clothes and other required gear for this reindeer sledding activity. As our reindeer herd is some distance away from our barking huskies, this activity will start with a short transfer by minibus. This fascinating cultural adventure includes reindeer sledding, an introduction to lasso throwing, storytelling about the Sami culture and feeding the reindeer.

After this memorable encounter with the indigenous Sami people, you will return to Camp Tamok where we will serve you a hot meal around an open fire in a reindeer herder’s tent. After relaxing and warming up, it is time to board the bus and head back to the city center of Tromsø.
