Overnight Stay in Lavvu, Northern Lights, and Reindeer Sledding in Tromso

Summary Description

You tour begins with an evening pickup from the center of Tromso. Meet your guide and settle in for the journey to Kvaloya.

Upon arrival, embark on a reindeer-pulled sled ride. Under close supervision from the herder-guide, you can feed the reindeer afterward. Next, it's time to warm up inside the lavvu.
