I am a wholly deaf solo traveller – on Friday 23rd March, 2012, I was picked up by Tromso Friluftsenter’s own minibus with some other tourists at 9am at the pick-up point outside Rica Ishavshotel, Tromso (30 mins driving journey each way). We arrived at Tromso Friluftsenter with some Lavvu tents and a house with the background of some nice... More

This tour was the highlight of my stay in Tromso, Trine and her partner (so sorry, but I can't remember your partners name!) made us so welcome. From the pick up at the Rica Hotel, the journey was so comfortable. Trine took us to her home the atmosphere and setting was absolutely perfect, we immediately went down to the beach,... More

We really enjoyed our reindeer sledding with Trina at Friluftsenter. I have some mobilitly problems and Trina was very helpful in getting me into and out of the sled. 2 people to a sled, each pulled by one reindeer, with the reindeer roped together in a convoy. Then afterwards to their lavvu and a great bidos meal, and we learned... More

Picked up in Tronso from our hotel and taken out into the snowy country side following the edge of the water. Everyone made us welcome including the Reindeer. Snow suits were provided and very much needed too! Had a wonderful sleigh ride over a beautiful iced lake at a gentle speed then taken back and given lunch. Had an exceptional... More

I booked with Friluftsenter on the basis of a comment made in the forum. My first long awaited trip to Norway. Me and boyfriend did reindeer sledding during the day and it was absolutely brilliant. The scenery was beautiful and the setting next to small beach perfect. We took some lovely photos. The reindeers are very nice but you cant... More

I booked to go on a reindeer sleigh with the Sami people and was expecting to have a "nice" experience. But it turned out it was the highlight of my trip to Tromso. The reindeer sleigh ride itself was a little short of snow (which wasn't their fault), but what made up for that was the meal, the scenery, and... More

My husband and I visited Tromso for his 50th birthday and our wedding anniversary. We wanted a magical evening to celebrate both occasions and were not disappointed. We were greeted by a welcoming Vidar and taken to the lavvu for hot drinks and cake. I don't drink tea or coffee and was quite happy with hot water, however, Vidar insisted... More

We booked this on the basis of the information on www.visittromso.no. 30 miniute drive from the centre of Tromso in a comfortable mini bus and we were there, warmly welcomed by Trine and Vidar. We were given helpful advice on the lights, the location, photography, camera settings (we were lent a tripod!) and were throroughly looked after. We were kept... More
