Your once-in-a-lifetime Sámi experience in Kautokeino
For adventurous travelers who want more than a tour: an unforgettable story to remember forever.
Imagine your own, personal Arctic tour
You’re not here for polished tourist traps or Instagram-perfect luxury.
You came all the way to Northern Norway because you want to see it as it truly is: vast, wild, cold, and breathtakingly beautiful.
With us, you don’t just visit the Arctic. You live it. You feel it. You breathe it. And if you’re lucky, you might even wake up with frost on your eyelashes and a reindeer outside your window.
We offer tailor-made experiences in our winter home and pastures, from a couple of hours to 1.5 days, for travelers who want a personal, immersive, and authentic Sámi experience.
We have been doing this for over 20 years.
A fantastic day
This was a really authentic experience with a reindeer herding family and we would thoroughly recommend it.
– Simon Rennie
Nothing short of amazing!
From start to finish, it was clear that this is a family-run operation dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich culture of the Sami people.
It was so much more than just a tour – it was a deep dive into a culture that has existed for thousands of years.
– F Tacoli
Amazing experience
Thank you for this wonderful experience! We’d definitely come back again!
– Sally Ann
You’re searching for something real.
Something with depth. Something you can’t get from a tourist bus, a mass-produced show or a quiet museum visit.
Reindeer herders are the bearers of traditional Sámi knowledge
knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Nils Peder isn’t someone who learned Sámi culture from books or weekend courses. He was born into it. Raised on the tundra. Shaped by the seasons. He has worked with reindeer his entire life, and still does, every single day. It’s his way of living – together with his family.
Nils Peder has spent years teaching and guiding visitors on the tundra, and he has a true gift for meeting people where they are. He has welcomed everyone: royalty, CEOs, athletes, adventurers, curious families… and travelers just like you, who want to understand the real Arctic.
How it works
We’ll custom make an experience for you based on what you tell us.
Whether that is a two-hour visit with our reindeer or an overnight trip in the cold…
a tailored-made
experience personally for you

Not luxury. Bumpy, cold, and absolutely real. This is for the adventurous who are ready to embrace the Arctic with all its raw beauty.
“Beautiful experience, thanks Nils for sharing your culture and knowledge, thank you also to the girls that prepared the delicious food and were so nice to us even though was very late at night.”
– Marie Justine Zaouali
