Reindeer are a funny thing up here.
For many people coming to Tromsø, they belong to Christmas cards and childhood stories. Then you arrive here and… there they are. Wandering along the road, passing by the garden, or casually chilling on the beach in summer while you’re trying to have a swim.
After a while, seeing them becomes strangely normal – although honestly, it never completely stops being cool. And behind them there’s much more: reindeer herding is deeply connected to Sámi life, history and culture here in the North.
When the Blue Puffin family tried the reindeer experience ourselves, we came back thinking: yep. This belongs in a Blue Puffin day.
But just reindeer? Come on! We have fjords outside!
So we put the two together :)
This is a shore excursion made for cruise guests. We pick you up directly from Breivika and head out in our small-group minibus to show you a little of the place we call home, before continuing to the reindeer camp, where things become considerably furrier.
You’ll meet and feed the herd, go reindeer sledding, hear about Sámi culture, experience joik and warm up with soup and hot drinks. A warm lunch after hanging out with reindeer in Arctic winter? We didn’t argue.
And because your ship isn’t going to wait while we make friends with every reindeer in Tromsø, the whole day is planned around your cruise schedule, from pick-up to return.
Fjords, reindeer, Sámi culture, joik and a small bunch of humans spending 5.5 hours together in the North.
That’s our new WOW.
Fahre durch verschneite Täler und entlang dramatischer Küsten mit vielen Fotostopps unterwegs. Die Aussicht wird dich nicht enttäuschen.
Warm up with a comforting soup and hot drinks by the fire. A very welcome pause in the middle of an Arctic winter day.
Hop onto a sled and let a reindeer take over the driving for a while. A wonderfully different way to travel in the North.
Hear about Sámi culture, reindeer herding and life in the North, and experience traditional joik.
