Arctic Dreams

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.

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.

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.

After breakfast and check out  your winter vacation with us comes to the end. You can extend your stay in Norway, please enquire for routes and prices.
