Sápmi Adventures is based at the Thon Hotel in Kautokeino, Northern Norway. We are a firmly established activity provider with in excess of 30 years experience.

Our guests come from all of the world, and from different walks of life: Corporations use our services for conferencing, corporate wellness, team-building and product launch events etc. We also cater for many different types of tourist including, for example, people who are simply passing through on their journey North or, indeed, South and who are looking to stay with us for one or two nights, and to participate in unique and authentic experiences. In addition, we also provide a complete holiday package where people stay with us for an extended period of time (usually 4 or 5 nights). During this time, they can experience the very best of what Sápmi and, in particular, Kautokeino has to offer – fabulous Nature, awe-inspiring natural phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis, for example, and of course Sámi Culture. And when we say “Sámi Culture”, we mean 100% the real thing – you will be staying in an actual Sámi community, where people still dress in their traditional costumes, speak their own language and where life truly does revolve around the reindeer and the Nature.

It should also be noted that the name “Kautokeino” roughly means “midway” because it is about equal distance to Alta, Karasjok, Karesuando and Nordreisa. When you stay with us you will not only be residing in the heart of Sápmi and Sámi Culture, but you’re also going to experience something extremely special, magical.

What we offer and what we provide is a million miles away from what some extremely well marketed and known destinations such as Tromsø, Reykjavik, Lofoten or Abisko have to offer, for example. We are not seeking to become a mass tourist destination, but rather to encourage a few intrepid people to stray away from the well-trodden path, and to come and experience something that you may only see on the likes of National Geographic or Discovery Channel. Yes it’s true, the Nature in this region is that wild, rugged and, thankfully, largely untouched by human hand. Long may it stay this way! To get a feel for what we’re talking about here, please take a look at this link (although the words are spoken in Sami and the subtitles are in Norwegian), the imagery alone will give you a real sense of the people, the lifestyle and the environment –

Moreover, when you come here, we want you to experience as much as possible, feel as though your at home and a part of our community and, most importantly, to love it so much that you’ll return year after year and inform your family and friends about it.
