Under the Northern Lights: Arctic Dreams Norway

Day 1 Tromso

Welcome to Tromsø! Upon arrival, take any transport to the city centre and check in 3-4 stars hotel. Make yourself at home in Tromsø for the rest of the day.

Day 2 Tromso

This is your chance to get up close and personal with the Sami people, the indigenous inhabitants of the far north. You'll enjoy a reindeer sledding excursion, sample traditional Sami cuisine, learn about their unique culture and artifacts, and listen to stories and the traditional Sami joik. Then, after returning to your hotel in Tromsø, you can spend a couple of hours exploring the city independently. You'll be amazed by how lively and hospitable it is, with plenty of small restaurants and cafes, as well as shops and friendly locals. And finally, as the sun sets, you'll embark on a new adventure: hunting for the northern lights! Our Aurora Borealis minibus tour will take you into the heart of this natural wonderland, providing a truly personal experience.

Day 3 Lyngsfjord

Today you will explore fjords around the city with our 5-hours Arctic Cruise.*  You'll get to see the city, fjords, mountains, and wildlife up close by boat, making it a truly special experience.

On board, you'll enjoy plenty of opportunities to see local wildlife in their natural habitat, including sea eagles, seals, harbor porpoises, and more. Our warm and inviting salon provides the perfect setting to relax and refuel with a little something from our onboard cafe. You'll enjoy a delicious lunch, then relax in your room for a couple of hours. 

* the duration of the cruise can differ from the estimated.

After lunch, take a good rest for your overnight program. You check out from Tromsø hotel and check in the next day again. We recommend leaving the luggage in the hotel and taking only the necessities.

The mini-bus will bring you to the camping place with charming wooden cabins and Sami lavvu. You will love our dog sledding experience! Our professional guides will provide you with warm winter clothing and safety instructions before embarking on your journey. Two people will share each sled, and you will have the opportunity to drive the dogs yourself. (If your group includes children, please kindly note that each child must be accompanied by an adult.) At the end of the day, you'll enjoy a hot meal in a traditional setting around an open fire inside a reindeer herder's tent. The warmth of the fire and smell of traditional Northern Norwegian cooking combine for an unforgettable evening experience. 

The overnight accommodations at Tamok Camping offer clean and cozy wooden cabins but no running water or toilet exists – instead these facilities are located in a common area just meters away from your cabin. If you'd prefer more modern amenities and facilities during your stay, you can return to your room in Tromsø.

Day 4 Tromso

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.
