The reindeer and the Sami have been living and working on this land for centuries and they have only recently invited guests to be part of their daily life. You will visit their camp and have a chance to feed the herd of around 300 wild reindeer who will swarm all around and some will even eat from your hands. You will then be invited for hot drinks around the fire inside a warm candlelit gamme (Traditional Sami Hut) where lunch, bidos, cooked over the open fire will be served (a traditional Sami stew which is often served at Sami weddings and other special occasions).

After lunch you will be invited into a lavvu (Sami tent) and gather around the fire to listen to stories about Sami culture and how it is to be a reindeer herder. The Sami guide will also perform a joik (traditional Sami song) for the guests.

A very different and enjoyable experience

A very enjoyable visit. We were in amongst the (300!) reindeer feeding them, followed by a light lunch, and then entertained by a Sami lady talking of their culture and an example of their songs, all around blazing log fires. Very atmospheric and very different. Recommend it.
A rare and delightful experience.

We loved this trip! A drive down the side of the fjord which was very scenic, a friendly greeting upon arrival. The reindeer feeding was a great experience, lots of characters there. Hot chocolate and cookies by a warm fire was very welcome as it was a cold day for us. The stew was delicious! Then the story of the Sunni people we found well delivered, by proud and passionate natives. We learnt a lot and enjoyed doing so.
Unique experience, but room for improvement

It was well organised -> two big buses picked us up at the specified time and took us back exactly when they said they would finish. On arrival we were taken to a large tent and told the schedule: we'd have 1 hour to feed the reindeeer, then lunch, then entertainment from a local sami. We were given a bucket with food (you could replenish anytime) and were allowed to walk through the reindeer and feed them. Some were quite pushy and naughty, but these are wild animal after all. Lunch was ... reindeer stew! Alongside cookies, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Would have been better only with the addition of bread for the stew. The sami entertainment took the form of one individual dressed in traditional sami culture talking about samis. The tent was cold, there were thick fur blankets to be used but not enough of them. He was charismatic and friednly, even tried to sing a bit, but overall it was underwhelming. This part of the tour would have been more engaging with better crowd work or happier songs and/or topics of discussion (the majority were about the opression of the sami).
Hints for parents of small children. Plus: clarification on the meeting point

Overall: good. But: instructions for the meeting place were confusing, suggesting it was outside the Clarion Edge hotel and the bus station. For other travellers: The meeting place was inside the bus station, not outside. (Big coach, not one of the many small mini busses). Calling the call centre didn’t help. Food is soup, tasty. So don’t expect huge portions. Reindeer experience was great, as was the talk on Sami culture. Warning for parents of toddlers and younger: no baby changing facilities. Also toddlers will get bored half way through the Sami culture talk and story telling.
The value of family

I am grateful to Steve for having a happy time with his parents and two sons in Jeju. The show was unusual, fantastic, and it was really jam. We've had a lot of experience with barbecue, chickpeas, black pigs, and meeting Steve's was our greatest luck. I highly recommend Mr. God to those who want to travel to Jeju.
Magical

I really loved learning about the Sami culture and appreciate that we still have these cultures that still persist today and date back thousands of years. I also loved petting the reindeer and they’re very were very sweet. It was a magical experience during the polar night.

A very nice experience overall. We were lucky to have snowfall during the feeding session, which made the visit even more memorable. The staff were generous in providing plenty of pellets for feeding, and the time allocated was just right for us to fully enjoy the activity. The soup and hot beverages provided were delicious and very comforting in the cold weather. It would be even better if lunch could be included as part of the package. The introduction and sharing of Sami history were informative and engaging. Overall, it was a wonderful experience — we loved it ❤️ 🥰🥰🥰
Don't Miss This Experience!

We had a great day visiting the Sami village. It was nice to learn about the customs and culture of the Sami people. I loved spending time with the reindeer also and the grunt greeting they would give me! Beautiful people!
Worth it!

Very nice experience, know that this will be a tour of 2x coaches worth so it’s a bit crowded but overall a great trip! Reindeers are so cute and you’re actually helping out the Sami people.
