What you can expect

Begin with a scenic drive from Tromsø to the tranquil beauty of Balsfjord, where dramatic peaks and mirror-like waters set the tone for the day.

Upon arrival, be warmly greeted by your Sámi host — a herder caring for over 400 reindeer and featured in a PBS documentary celebrating Sámi traditions. Step into the rhythms of daily life in the Arctic as you feed the reindeer, learn their stories, and hear ancestral tales passed down through generations.

Then comes the highlight — a reindeer sledding experience unlike any other. Set in open terrain around the reindeer farm rather than an enclosed area, this ride lets you glide through untouched snow surrounded by silence, wilderness, and wonder.

Connect with the land, the animals, and the ancient culture that defines the North. This is more than a reindeer sledding trip. It’s an immersive cultural encounter and a rare invitation into the heart of Sámi life — framed by the awe-inspiring beauty of Norway’s Arctic fjords.
