      transportation in the north and an inherent part of Sami culture. 

      You will be in pairs by sled, with one sled for each reindeer. People 

      of all ages can participate in this easy adventure. This cultural 

      experience will also teach you about lasso throwing, which is 

      always the Sami way of catching their reindeer to herd them 

      together before tagging or slaughter. In addition, you will get to 

      know Sami culture and history, and experience the emotional 

      Lappish ancestral joik song. To conclude this excursion, you will be 

      served a hot meal.

      the county of Troms region. The views from Sommarøy Island are 

      impressive and together with your tour leader you will get to know

      your package – the Arctic Lights Campfire Tour. The area around 

      Sommarøy is a great spot to search for the Northern Lights because 

      of the desolate beaches free from light pollution. With the sound of 

      arctic waves crashing ashore, you are guaranteed a spectacular 

      evening, especially if the sky is clear and the auroras show 

      themselves. You will sit around the campfire, while waiting for the 

      phenomenon to appear. During this time, small snack will be
