Genuine Sami Reindeer Tour

Genuine Sami Reindeer Tour is offered in collaboration with our carefully selected partners and includes private transfers to and from ONGA Boutique Lodge.

First, you will be delivered to the place where the whole day trip starts. You will be transported in a comfortable minibus to the reindeer family who will be hosting you during the day.

Upon arrival, you will warmly greeted by the owner of the reindeer herd. After suiting up, you set off on an exhilarating snowmobile ride, journeying from the village to the area where the family have their herd.

The ride across the frozen terrain is a breathtaking experience as the landscape unfolds into the vast, untouched wilderness of the vidde – a high plateau that stretches endlessly in every direction, its rolling contours blanketed in snow.

As you arrive, the reindeer herd comes into view – a mesmerizing sight as hundreds of reindeer move gracefully across the snow. The herd owner guides us closer, and soon we find ourselves surrounded by these magnificent creatures. Being in the midst of the herd is a magical experience, offering a deep connection with nature and a glimpse into the rich traditions of the Sami people. Don’t forget your camera!

After spending time with the reindeer, we continue to the herder’s cottage, a simple hut where the family stays during the winter months as they care for their herd.

Here, we enjoy a warm, traditional reindeer lunch while the crew share their insights into life as Sami reindeer herders, discussing their traditions, values, and culture.

As the day draws to a close, we hop back onto the snowmobiles and return to the minibus, and then set off on the journey back to the lodge.

OBS: you should have a valid Cat B driving licence to drive a snowmobile in Norway.
