Description - What to expect

Your Tromso Reindeer sledding experience starts with a pick-up at Samuel Arnesens gate 7, and then a 90-minute relaxing bus journey, you will enter the remote area of Tamokdalen where our wilderness camp is located.

Upon arrival at Camp Tamok, you will be warmly greeted by your guide and outfitted with the essential gear including thermal suits, boots, and gloves, ensuring comfort and warmth for the day ahead.
