Visit Natives

Visit Natives support local Sami reindeer herders who receive 80% of the payment. Sustainable indigenous tourism is very important for the Sami as it allows them to earn additional income and sustain their traditional livelihood and reindeer husbandry.

All our experiences are based on sustainability which is also very important for the Sami as they live from the Arctic nature. No infrastructure is built for the travelers. Visit Natives' tours only accommodate small group of people, keeping in mind long-term sustainainability and customer's experience. Meals are local and traditional Sami food and guests generally sleep in wilderness cabins and tents that are used by the herders. Visit Natives doesn't take on more guests than housing and energy resources can effectively support.

Vist Natives' tours directly support the preservation of the traditional way of life for the Sami people. Fewer and fewer Sami are actively working to maintain their heritage as their opportunities to earn a living through reindeer herding are limited. Tourism provides a new opportunity and way for these traditions to continue long into the future.
