Sámi reindeer spring migration – Tour of a lifetime

The journey starts in the heart land of the Sámi culture and ends further north by the arctic coast, where the reindeers have their summer grazing area and where they give birth to a new generation.

Join the Sámi herders and experience the reindeers on their annual spring migration from their winter pastures on the inland to their summer calving and grazing areas on the coast.

This adventure is a unique privilege made available for the very few by Sámi families from Finnmark.

You will be taking part in the daily work and learn how the Sámi herd their reindeer.

Taking part in the migration means you will be travelling with the Sámi, and like the Sámi. You will be eating and sleeping like a Sámi herder.

This trip got honored as one of the World’s Best Guided Expeditions / “Tour of a Lifetime” by National Geographic Travel in 2014.
