Less than 1 hour from Tromsø city center our camp will show a glimpse of the Polar experience. Away from the city light pollution and with temperatures that can reach minus 30C, you will experience a 20 minute sled ride in the darkness, just stars and hopefully Northern Lights dancing over your head and then in the fence you will meet our herd, feed it and make memories of a lifetime.
After a traditional taste of Bidos (vegan and gluten free option available) our Sami guides will share their culture and stories with you. Come curious, they can’t wait to hear your questions!
IMPORTANT: the sled ride is subject to good snow conditions and sometimes we must adjust the duration of this activity. If the weather does not allow us to run the sled ride at all, we will offer you a partial refund. The rest of the tour will be held as normal.
PLEASE NOTE: The maximum weight per person is 120kg. Each sled can accommodate a maximum of 2 adults.
