6 day Sami reindeer spring migration
in Northern Norway










About the Sami reindeer migration
Experience the Sami reindeer spring migration with a Sami family in Northern Norway. The trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where you can live the life of the Sami and explore the beauty of the Arctic wilderness. Besides the good time, you give back directly to the Sami host family with whom you travel.
The Sami are the only indigenous people living in the European Union. Their fascinating way of life and culture are threatened as approximately only 2,800 Sami work full time as reindeer herders. Join this amazing and unique adventure that only a few sami reindeer herder families can provide.
A typical day
We don't have an itinerary for this adventure as everything happens at nature's speed. The Sami reindeer spring migration is a unique tradition in which reindeer move from winter pastures to summer pastures. The Sami and the guests joining the migration move on snowmobiles while following the reindeer. You sit on a sled pulled by a snowmobile. Be prepaid for the bumpy journey!
Reindeer migration is a slow-down experience. There is a saying that the Sami walk with the reindeer. The reindeer are semi-domesticated migratory animals that Sami people follow. Sometimes the reindeer stock can stop in one place for a few days, and other times they can move faster. It would help if you were flexible to take things as they happen as the reindeer rule the migration.
On the migration, you sleep around an open fire with your Sami host family in a tent set up in different locations while migrating further, taking equipment, tents, and food to the next area. Your Sami host family cooks you traditional Sami food from local ingredients like Arctic fish, Arctic berries, and reindeer meat. You have reindeer meat in different forms like smoked and dried. You can try traditional Sami skiing and ice-fishing when the reindeer herding duties allow it.
