Sami reindeer herder summer experience
A typical day with the Sami
During the summer the reindeer are given more freedom to wander and look for the good pastures. This also relaxing time for the Sami as the herding is not so extensive than in winter. While staying with the Sami family travelers can observe reindeer, hike, and go sea fishing. The Sami family will also set up a traditional Sami camp with a lavvu tent to stay overnight, to sit by a campfire and listen to Sami yoik and stories.
A typical day looks like this:
8 am breakfast
10 am hiking and obsessing the reindeer and nature
1 pm lunch
3 pm fishing
6 pm dinner and staying in lavvu tent
