From Tromso: Reindeer Sledding Tour with Northern Lights Sighting

Your favorite Christmas carol comes alive on this 4.5-hour reindeer sledding tour along the Arctic Valley with a chance to spot the Northern Lights.

Highlights

Watch the moon and stars follow you from Tromso on your round-trip transfer and join your English-speaking guide to say hello to 200 reindeer.
Once you’re familiar with the hows of approaching reindeer, feed them buckets of their favorite treats with bonfires crackling in the backdrop.
Glide through snow-covered tracks in reindeer-led sleds on a 15 to 30-minute ride, and wait for the starlit skies to show off green dancing lights.
Step into a traditional Sami tent or a wooden hut for some folktales and jokes over Sami reindeer stew and cups of warm drinks with your guides.
Fun fact: Wondering how reindeer stay warm? Their hollow fur traps air and keeps them insulated!

Your experience

Lit up skies and everything nice

When furry reindeer take you on a sled ride and the star-studded sky has a chance of lighting up in a soft green glow, you’re bound to feel like it’s a dream. Realize this dream on a 4.5-hour tour that starts from the scenic town of Tromso. Comfortable cars will drive you to the Arctic Valley, so all you have to do is sit back and click pictures of the scenery along the way. The English-speaking guide will greet you at the base camp and take you to the land of 200 reindeer waiting to be pampered by you. After a small safety briefing on the best ways of approaching and interacting with reindeer, you’ll be handed buckets of their favorite food mix to feed and pet them gently.

Sled through the snow

Once the reindeer are all fuelled up, it’s time for them to treat you to a one-of-a-kind ride through the snow aboard the Arctic’s oldest vehicle. Hop into your sled, sing jingle bells along the way if you will, and race through the snowy tracks under a blanket of stars. If you’re lucky, you’ll see beams of green lights dancing radiantly against the night sky. After your adventure, head back to the snug Sami tent or wooden house to wrap up your tour with cups brimming with hot beverages, bowls of Sami stew, and tales about Sami culture from your guides.
