Tromsø Borealis

Day 1: Arrival in Tromsø

Arrival at Tromsø Airport, transfer (not included) to the center of Tromsø, the beautiful Arctic capital, and check-in at your hotel. 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: Dog sledding

Scandinavian breakfast at the hotel. You will depart in the morning (25-minute transfer, included) for a dog sledding excursion. Harnessed in pairs per sled (one driver, one passenger), you will traverse magnificent landscapes! If conditions do not allow, you will automatically be seated in the sled (instead of driving it). Warm clothing is provided, and you will have the opportunity to visit the kennel and the young puppies. Afterwards, a Sami meal will be served with coffee and homemade cake under a Sami tent. Return to Tromsø (transfer included).

Day 3: Tromsø/Oteren – Aurora chase

Scandinavian breakfast at the hotel. In the late afternoon, departure for a Northern Lights evening! A transfer of about 1.5 hours will take you to Camp Tamok. Due to its geographical location, Camp Tamok is an ideal place to watch the Northern Lights dance in the sky. Get your cameras ready! Appropriate clothing and a light hot meal will be included. Return to Tromsø around midnight (transfers included).

Accommodation in Tromsø 3*.

Optional: We suggest a morning reindeer sledding excursion through the Arctic landscapes of the Tamok Valley, where you can also discover Sami culture. This excursion takes place at the same location as the evening Northern Lights chase.

Day 4: Tromsø – Fjellheisen and Aurora chase

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