Reisa Adventure

Day 1: Arrival in Tromsø

Arrival at Tromsø Airport, transfer (not included) to the centre of Tromsø, the beautiful Arctic capital. The rich history of this city has earned it two nicknames. The first is the “Paris of the North” due to the numerous trade relations with France during the 19th century and the number of cafes and bars. The second is the “Gateway to the Arctic” because for many decades, this city was the heart of Arctic hunting and the starting point for the most legendary expeditions.
