NORWAY · FARM TOURS
The 15 best farm tours in Norway you can book today, with the gate price, the length of the morning and who each one suits. The first one is first for a reason.
Travel about 35 to 40 minutes from Tromsø to a Sami reindeer camp. Feed a herd of around 300 by hand, warm up with hot chocolate and stew, then hear Sami stories and joik singing in a lavvu. Guides such as Inga, Johannes, and Daniel have led engaging cultural sessions.
“The tour was really nice. Super organized and informational + enough time with reindeers. Would recommend.”
Spend about four and a half hours at Tromsø Villmarkssenter helping train huskies of different ages. You’ll walk and play with puppies, exercise older dogs, meet the adult team, and share lunch at the farm. Round-trip transport from Radisson Blu Hotel, rain gear, and rubber boots are included. English-speaking guides such as Nadja and Gina may lead the visit.
“Great fun, very powerful and excitable dogs, lovely and welcoming people. Lovely to be able to pet all the older dogs afterwards too”
Leave Tromsø at 9:00 am for a six-hour visit to a Sámi reindeer farm. Feed gentle reindeer, take a short sled ride when snow allows, hear stories from Sámi hosts such as Nils, Elias, or Andreas, and warm up with soup, coffee, and tea. Warm clothing is provided, but the ride from Tromsø takes about 90 minutes each way.
“Absolutely loved it! The people were so nice and welcoming, you get to meet the reindeer and feed them and play with them. I loved hearing more about the Sami culture and tasting local food.”
Travel from Narvik or Harstad with guide Constantin on a four-hour private coastal tour. Stop at fjord viewpoints, a Stone Church or local boat museum, and a Sami reindeer farm. Expect hotel pickup, snacks, drinks, photo time, and a flexible route shaped by weather and your interests.

Set out from Haugesund’s cruise terminal by express boat with an English-speaking local guide. Visit the Viking Farm on Bukkøy, where costumed interpreters show daily Viking life, then explore The Viking Planet’s digital exhibits and green-screen photo station. The tour lasts three hours and suits families, cruise passengers, and Viking fans.
“Enjoyed all the information we received about Viking life. Our guide was excellent. He has dual citizenship in Norway and Australia and was well spoken with great insights into Norwegian life too. The farm was very interesting. The young lady in costume that was our guide there was very knowledgeable about Viking life. We found the visit to Viking planet to be very informative. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to take pictures with a green screen that turned us into Vikings. Would recommend this if you want to understand the Viking history and lifestyle.”
Anniken, Viggo, and their family collect you in Alta and drive about 30 minutes to Omdal Gard. You will ride behind Norwegian fjord horses, visit sheep and farm animals, and eat Arctic tapas in a fire-warmed Sami *lavvo*. Warm clothing is available, and a wagon replaces the sleigh when snow is thin.
“Wonderful experience sharing with the family/owners. Great transportation to and from the dock. Would have liked to spend days with the family.”
From YX Hellesylt, a short bus ride takes you to Øvre Ljøen, a mountain farm run by the Bonsaksen family for more than 400 years. Meet curious llamas, hear about life on steep Norwegian terrain, and enjoy coffee, tea, and waffles above three fjords. The English-language visit lasts about 45 minutes at the farm.
“Really loved the very authentic farm visit. Got to feed lamas and eat waffles with the best views from the greatest view point what’s not to like!”
Meet at Haugesund’s cruise port for a guided boat ride through Karmsundet to Bukkøy’s Viking Farm, seen in Norsemen. Explore its longhouse, boathouse, roundhouse, and forest paths with local guides, then visit The Viking Planet Haugesund. The three-hour tour suits families and Viking fans, but confirm the port details before booking.

At Aimees Farm, between Stamsund and Leknes, Aimee Cathrin Larsen welcomes you to a three-hour farm visit with a five-course dinner made from Lofoten ingredients.

“We had a great time and Aimee was an excellent host. The food was amazing, the conversation was memorable, and the experience was just the best. Aimee was very accommodating with our youngest child, who had a great time interacting with the animals and pets. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique local experience.”

Your Norwegian or English-speaking guide leads the visit, with riding available if weather permits. The group is limited to eight people.
“Amazing experience and amazing people. It felt like being catapulted in another era, with the beautiful Norvegian landscape of snow and sea, and the wonderful horses (so gentle, patient and well behaved). My girlfriend and I spent a delightful morning, and we will come back here as soon as we return to Norvay.”
