Spend some magical hours at Anna and Erik’s camp at the Arctic Circle. Meet Anna and some of her reindeer, learn about the Sami culture, listen to joik and enjoy a traditional meal from the Sami kitchen in the lávvu.
Anna and Erik are an indigenous Sámi couple who lives the indigenous lifestyle based on reindeer herding. Anna will share her passion for the culture and the reindeer with you.
You will meet some of her reindeer in a corral. Reindeers are curious friendly animals and you will be able to get really close and feed them.
In the lávvu (tipi, traditional Sami tent) you gather around the fire and Anna will tell stories and you will learn about the Sámi history and culture. Over the open fire a lunch will be prepared. The ingredients will depend on the season and what nature has to offer but it will be local specialties such as fish, moose or reindeer (options for special dietary requirements can be arranged).
You will also get to listen to joik. Joik is the traditional Sami way of singing and to musically tell a story and remember the old times.
Welcome to spend some relaxing hours for all your senses!

Tour Reviews
SIMPLY MAGIC!
Meeting Anna last week was simply magic. We learnt so much about the Sami culture and the Swedish way of being… it was amazing. She is so kind, so full of life and so authentic!
She shared everything about her own life with us, as we would have been friends since several years… we all felt immediately part of her world and to be very honest very jealous about the simplicity of her life… which at the same time seemed so complicated to accept for people of the current crazy busy world of today.
The food was great, meeting the reindeers was a lovely experience, so peaceful.
We will strongly recommend this activity to all our friends and would definitively put a 10/10 score for the organization and overall feeling!
Thank you so much for this incredible experience! /Diana
