“After a busy day, this was the perfect trip to unwind and feed some reindeer. We were welcomed by the Northern Lights and had a brief introduction along with safety tips before seeing the reindeer. It was magical feeding the reindeer until the lights. There were many hot drinks available whilst eating salmon salad, bidos and chocolate cake in a warm hut. We finished the trip with a wonderful talk around a fire where we learnt about Sami people, the reindeer, and joined in on Sami joik. It was an absolutely wonderful time!”

“The crew was great and very supportive. They informed us as soon as they noticed some activities in the sky and helped with the camera settings when needed, so that we could see the lights on the way back to Tromsø. One thing, some of the guests were really annoying as they focused on drinking and became louder and louder. Therefore, it was hard to understand eachother or the crew‘s instructuctions or announcements. Nevertheless, great experience !”
