Day 1: Arrival to Tromso & Northern Lights
Arrive to Tromsø. After settling in, you have some time to explore this charming and vibrant city located 400 km above the Arctic Circle.

In the evening it’s time to leave the city lights behind for a chance to enjoy some of the brightest northern lights in the world. This guided tour into the wilderness also gives you a taste of Sami culture as the guide tells tales of local folklore and customs.

Spend the next six nights in Tromsø.

* Please note that the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Day 2: Snowmobile Safari in the Wild
Start the day with a snowmobile safari into the Arctic wilderness. Led by an experienced guide, this excursion brings you up to heights of 875 metres above sea level with spectacular views of the Tromsø area. You might even have a chance to try your skills at ice fishing on the frozen lake on top of the mountain, if time and weather permit.

From the tour’s final destination, the Camp Tamok wilderness area, return to Tromsø to spend the evening as you wish. 

Day 3: “The Capital of the North”
Explore Tromsø at your leisure today. Notable attractions include the Polar Museum, the Art Museum of Northern Norway and the Arctic Cathedral. For a fantastic bird’s eye view over the city, it’s well worth a ride up to Mt. Storsteinen (421 m/1382 ft) on the Fjellheisen cable car.

There are also plenty of exciting optional activities to choose from in Tromsø and the surrounding area, including guided walking tours and other city sightseeing excursions, tours of the “world’s northernmost brewery”, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, snow shoeing and more. These can be booked locally or in advance through Nordic Visitor.

Day 4: Dog-sledding Adventure & Sami Feast 
Have you ever wanted to learn to “mush”? After spending the morning at your leisure, it’s time to learn this traditional mode of Arctic transport with an experienced guide and a team of friendly huskies. Following a short lesson at the kennel on driving a dog sled, you’re off on an exhilarating 16 km-long ride through some of northern Norway’s most beautiful and uninhabited landscapes.

At the end of the trail is Camp Tamok, where all the hungry mushers are treated to a tasty feast inside a lavvu (Sami tent). If you’re lucky, the northern lights may even make an appearance!

Day 5: Culture & Auroras with an Evening Cruise
Enjoy the early part of your day as you wish. Later in the afternoon, board the Bellvik ferry for an informative evening cruise. With various ports of call at small villages that date back to the Viking age, you will be entertained with the guide’s descriptions of the local history, customs and folklore. This is also a great opportunity for more aurora spotting!

Late night refreshments (picnic-style) are included in this excursion. Hats, gloves, scarves and thermal layers are highly recommended.

Day 6: Reindeer Sledding & Sami Culture  
Reindeer hold a special place in the hearts of the Sami, northern Norway’s native people, and reindeer sledding is one of the oldest forms of transport here. Today you get to experience this tradition for yourself with a relaxing sleigh ride through the beautiful valley of Tamok.

This excursion also includes a visit to a lavvu, an introduction to traditional Sami handicrafts—a fun way to learn more about Sami culture and history—and an authentic Arctic dinner followed by a return transfer to Tromsø.

Day 7: The End of the Adventure
It’s time to head home after your adventurous week in Arctic Norway. We recommend transferring by taxi (only a 10 minute ride) to Tromsø Airport in time for your flight to Oslo Gardermoen Airport, where you will fly onwards to your final destination.

Please note: if you do not have enough time between flights, an additional night in Oslo can be added to your package. Contact us for details.
