Night reindeer sledding, a Sami dinner, and a real shot at the Northern Lights in Tromsø, with hand-feeding and warm fireside culture.
“Amazing experience feeding the reindeers, sledging and listening to the saami origin’s stories and songs! One of the best experience you can take in Tromso (if you don’t see reindeer everyday haha). Loved every second!”
Visit a husky camp near Tromsø for Northern Lights sky watching, Sami lavvo shelter, campfire s’mores, and bacalao dinner.

Tromsø evening aurora cruise with deck time, thermal suits, warm drinks, and crew-led guidance to spot and photograph the Northern Lights.
“We have northern lights!! Despite the cloudy weather, this tour turned out to be an incredible experience. Our tour guide, Holly, was not only sweet but also very informative. The captain also did an amazing job of chasing the Aurora, using an app to try to find gaps in the sky, and we sailed for miles to try and catch glimpses of it. I believe those who give bad reviews were not lucky and missed the northern lights; however, before we boarded, the guides were honest about our chances of seeing the lights, giving us a 50% estimate and offering a full refund if we chose to get off the…”
Nighttime reindeer feeding and a candlelit Sámi lavvu dinner near Tromsø, with joik, Sami herder stories, and a chance of Northern Lights.
“From the moment we were picked up, everything felt easy and well organised. The coach was comfortable and we had a really warm welcome when we arrived. The Sámi gentleman who hosted us was genuinely lovely – you could feel how much he cares about the reindeer and his culture, and it made the experience feel really meaningful rather than touristy. The reindeer looked happy and well cared for, which was important to me. The team from Arctic Reindeer were also so friendly and informative and made everyone feel at ease. And the food… wow. I’ve never tasted salmon that fresh before. Such a special evening and one of the…”

“Really enjoyed this experience. The meal was nice and the staff was excellent.”
Tromso aurora cruise with an electric boat, welcome drink, and 3-course dinner, plus northern lights viewing around Tromsoya.
“Don’t go hungry and if you don’t like fish order the vegetarian. The boat was lovely as was the view. They had someone talking (giving an aura lesson) most of the time. It would have been nice just to enjoy the scenery and the company that I went with. Upstairs inside deck was freezing!!”
Sámi-led reindeer feeding and a brief sleigh ride near Tromsø, with 3-course camp dinner and a chance at northern lights.

Minibus aurora hunt from Tromsø with warm overalls and soup by a fire, plus pro photos you can keep.

“une petite collation chaude aurait été appréciée à l'arrivée”
Small-group Tromsø northern lights chase with a pro photographer, thermic suites, dinner, and flexible weather-based routing.
“This was our third day chasing the northern lights and the guide Alex was great in helping us to get to see the northern lights. He explained clearly about northern lights formation and its probability of appearence. He ensured everyone's safety and also served us with dinner (we are vegetarians and were skeptical of food) which was great. I will recommend others for the tour”
Every kind of Arctic day, and the best of each.
