# Reindeer Feeding and Sami Culture Including Lunch from Tromso

**Guidekin's take:** Reindeer feeding is followed by bidos for lunch around the fire in a candlelit gamme, a traditional Sami hut. Transport and hot drinks are included; pickup uses designated meeting points, and you need your own warm layers and winter boots. 4.68 from 546 reviews at €164 per person for 4h.

In our comparison: #6 of 10 in Reindeer & Sámi Culture, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

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 candlelit gamme (Traditional Sami Hut) where lunch, bidos, cooked over the open fire will be served (a traditional Sami stew which is often served at Sami weddings and other special occasions). 

After lunch you will be invited into a lavvu (Sami tent) and gather around 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.
