## Overview

New location this year, not Sommarøy area!!

Welcome to join us at this small group seaside tour and reindeer feeding experience
This is a coastal drive with scenic view where you can overlook the landscape, dramatic mountains and enjoy the beauty of the seaside drive. We stop at some suitable places to admire the landscapes we pass.

We arrive a Reindeer Camp and get an opportunity to feed the hole heard of reindeer by hand. After we have been feeding the magnificent animals, we will gather in a traditional Sami lavvo (Sami tent) around an open bonfire to enjoy hot drinks and cookies. In the lavvo you will also experience the Joik (traditional Sami songs) performed by the Sami and learn more about Sami traditions.
You will receive a detailed account of Sámi culture and history; as this tour takes place in small groups, you will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the context and meaning behind the Sámi way of life.

We will also serve traditional food on this tour
