Day 1

Upon arrival, proceed to taxi or bus toward Tromsø. After checking in with your Quality hotel, you can explore Tromsø independently. There are plenty of places and attractions one should explore, but we recommend you to start your independent city tour by exploring the historical center of this city.

Day 2

You will have the opportunity to spend time getting to know Sami, the indigenous people of the north and their culture. You will be able to join an enjoyable reindeer sledding, tasting Sami food, learning about specific artifacts unique to their culture, hear stories and the traditional Sami song, the joik.

When you come back to your hotel, you can spend a couple of hours exploring Tromsø independently. You will be amazed by how lively and hospitable with a lot of small restaurants and cafes, as well as shops and smiling people

Past six o’ clock, get ready to the new adventure where you will be literally hunting for northern lights. Aurora Borealis on a minibus will be offering you a personal experience where you will be travelling in a minibus with local knowledge and years of experience when it comes to searching and photographing northern lights. The minibus will be used as a shelter and a base to find thermal winter suits, hot drinks, lefse and sweet snacks. There will be a high focus on night-time and taking pictures of northern lights, so remember to bring your camera.

Day 3

We offer a fun experience at sea for those who love nature and seek adventure: RIB cruise. You will have the opportunity to see the city, fjords, mountains and the Arctic landscape by boat, as it is a wonderful way to explore the nature and local wildlife. You may see animals such as sea eagles, seals, harbour porpoises and much more. Towards the beginning and the end of the whale season, you have a chance to meet exciting creatures such as humpback whales or orcas. This is a wonderful experience for those who enjoy photography and enjoy a little speed. We will meet at city harbour where the captain will inform you about the trip, provide safety briefings and ensure you dress appropriately for the weather conditions with thermal suits, boots, goggles and balaclava.

After lunch, take a good rest for your overnight program. You don’t need to check out, but pack your luggage and bring it to the reception. Your room will be waiting for you when you will be back the next day. The mini-bus will bring you to the camping place with charming wooden cabins and Sami lavvu. The evening will be a combination of two activities.

The dog sledding trips will give you a wonderful opportunity to experience Northern Lights. You will drive the dog sled by yourself as you explore the snowy landscapes and through the Vass valley, which is an uninhabited forest surrounded by mountains

Upon arrival on the camp, you’ll receive appropriate clothes for the occasion such as outdoor clothes and shoes in order to keep you warm during your stay and instructions on how to drive a dog sled by professionals. You will be driving in pairs, with one driver and one passenger on each sled with an opportunity to switch places half way through the trip. The road ahead will be at a total distance of 10-12km, and you will be on the sled for 1.5-2 hours.

Overnight: wooden cabin.

Day 4

You will have the opportunity to explore the majestic Lyngen Alps with a local guide on this scenic and safe Snowmobile Safari where you see most gorgeous nature. The area of the Lyngen Alps provides some of the most mesmerizing scenery in Norway. Throughout the tour, safety is of utmost importance as we will follow approved and established trails. The guide will give an explanation on how to drive the snowmobile. There will be two guests on each snowmobile, who may change seats halfway through the trip.

You will make several stops during our journey. This trip focuses on sightseeing, taking photos and enjoying the incredible scenery of mountains, fjords and forests. During the stops, the guide will tell interesting facts and stories. Once we’re back at the camp, freshly made fish soup will be served (vegetarian options are available on request when booking) with baked bread.

Important: in order to drive the snowmobile you have to own driving licence.

We have another option for morning tour for those who does not want to go on snowmobile: ice fishing and snowshoe walking tour.

This will include snowshoe walking to the frozen lake, drilling holes in the ice, fishing and tasting the self-caught fish which will be grilled on a bonfire. You will be brought to the camp where you’ll receive thermal suits, gloves, boots and hats for warmth. We will have a short ride to the frozen lake before the snowshoe equipment will be put on. Then we will walk out into the winter scenery. Sit back and relax as you try to catch lots of trout and char as you enjoy a hot cup of cocoa. The fish that you caught will be either prepared on the spot or at the camp in the Sami lavvu.

After you return to hotel, take a short rest and get ready to the beautiful Northern Lights cruise. Seeing the Northern Lights from the sea on a boat is an incredible opportunity and an unforgettable experience. The different places you will visit on this cruise should provide plenty of different views of the sky and offer several opportunities to see the Aurora Borealis.
