Itinerary
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.
Accommodation in Tromsø 3*.
Day 2: Tromsø & Northern Lights chase
Breakfast at the hotel. During this day, seize the opportunity to ascend by cable car the top of the mountain overlooking the island of Tromsø. In the late evening, you then embark on an unforgettable outing chasing the Northern Lights. Your local guide conducts research before picking you up to determine where to go and optimize your chances of seeing the auroras. You travel in a minivan in search of clear skies and a suitable location for aurora observation.

Day 3: Tromsø – Reisa Valley (approx. 255 km)

Perched by the Reisa river, one of Norway's best salmon rivers, this remote family-owned lodge is in the heart of Reisa Valley.
In the evening, participate in a guided snowshoe hike through snow-covered forests and over frozen river to the door of Reisa National Park, Ovi Raishiin. With no light pollution and dry highland climate, the area is the perfect place to observe the magical Northern Lights.
