“We didn't manage to see aurora but the ride with the huskies was great! We were actually more thrilled with the dogs rather than the sky. The trip was good organized and our guide Paul was great! He was very friendly and gave us many information about the wild life, natives and the land in general. Also the people that take care of the huskies were friendly and gave us the feeling that really care about the dogs and treat them as their family”

Meet Sami guides and reindeer at Tromso Lapland, about 50 minutes outside Tromso. Feed the herd, take a 30-minute sled ride when snow allows, then warm up in a lavvu with stew, hot drinks, and stories about Sami life. The northern lights are possible, never guaranteed.

“This was a wonderful experience. A little tricky getting to pickup point downtown from the cruise terminal, but with proper planning it works out well. Fortunately our cruise line ran shuttles downtown and the drop off is right where the tour picks you up. Our cruises shuttle service ended earlier than our return to pickup point so we had to make arrangements via UBer. It cost about $25 US and 10 minutes travel time. It is a 50 minute ride to the Sami village and they are very good in directing you to where you need to be. The tour consists of to parts. Feeding the reindeer and the ride…”

“I gave this outing 4 points only because in the description additional info it stated what’s included it mentioned warm overalls and boots if required. Well that evening it was a very wet snow at our 6pm tour. Even though my husband and I were properly dressed, it was never mentioned nor was asked if anyone needed the items mentioned above. Other wise I would have given this tour a 5 star. Lecture, food was great.”

“Great experience visiting the huskies close to Tromso. The staff was great and explained us a lot of things about the dogs. There are uniforms provided which I recommend you wear since it might be muddy. We also had the chance to pet the dogs which were really calm and loved to be petted! Moreover we had the chance to see the northern lights since there is no light pollution , while the stuff came and called us while we were changing to their provided uniforms in order to have a chance and see them. They also made the experience much better since they closed any lights to help us…”

We took a great night ride with the sleds and everyone had the chance to be the passenger and the driver. As a marvelous bonus, we saw the northern lights in a completely dark and starred landscape (with the dogs impatiently wanting to go while we were admiring the lights haha). Recommended!”
