Guided Tour - Meet Reindeer in Hammerfest
Overview
Meet reindeer at our Sámi family's camp on Salen Mountain above Hammerfest. Get close to the animals, take photos and learn about reindeer herding and Arctic life. Gather in a traditional lavvu for personal stories and joik, shared by a local reindeer-herding family. Discover how the changing seasons shape our way of life, with time for questions and conversation. This calm cultural visit follows the animals' natural rhythm.
Hurtigruten Pickup & Return
Select this option for pickup at Hammerfest's Hurtigruten pier, transport to our camp, a reindeer encounter and Sámi storytelling, followed by return to the same pier.
The shorter camp visit is adapted to the ship's scheduled stop. The total duration includes both transfers. Check your booking confirmation for the exact pickup time and meeting point.
Transport is included only with the "Hurtigruten Pickup & Return" option. Guests booking the standard camp visit make their own way to the camp.
