Reindeer Sledding & Northern Lights in Lyngsfjord

This cultural adventure gives you the chance to get up close to the reindeer and an insight into the Sami life. Here amidst the Arctic wilderness, far away from the light pollution, you have excellent chances of spotting the Northern Lights.

You will be picked up at 17:00 hrs and transferred from Tromsø by bus to the majestic Lyngen where beautiful fjords meet alpine mountains. At the camp you will receive warm winter clothes before your experienced Sami guide brings you to the Sami Camp by a short minibus transfer.

You will drive in pairs with one reindeer pulling the sleigh. All you have to do is sit back, make sure you are comfortable and enjoy the majestic and magical night scenery. If you are lucky, you might see the Northern Lights dancing across the sky.

After the sledding tour, you will go back to the warm lavvu (Sami tent), and in a cosy environment around the bonfire your guide will tell you more about Sami culture and people.

You will also try lasso-throwing, the method Sami people still catch reindeer, and you can even try feeding the reindeer! Before returning to Tromsø, a hot meal will be served in the dining lavvu.
