Reindeer visit, and Sami Culture Including Lunch from Tromso

The reindeer and the Sami have been living and working on this land for centuries and they have only recently invited guests to be part of their daily life. You will visit their camp and have a chance to feed the herd of around 300 wild reindeer who will swarm all around and some will even eat from your hands. You will then be invited for Hot drinks around the fire inside a warm candle lit gamme (Traditional Sami Hut) where you will then be served lunch, bidos, cooked over the open fire (a traditional Sami stew which is often served at Sami weddings and other special occasions).

After lunch you will be invited into a lavuu (Sami tent) and gather round the fire to listen to stories about Sami culture and how it is to be a reindeer herder. The Sami guide will also perform a joik (traditional Sami song) for the guests.
