Wild Adventure in Reisa

Day 1: Arrival in Tromsø

Arrival at Tromsø Airport. Transfer (not included, can be added) to the centre 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.

Day 2: Tromsø & Northern Lights chase

Breakfast at the hotel. During this day, ascend by cable car to 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 pinpoint where to go and optimise your chances of seeing the Auroras. You will travel in a minivan in search of clear skies and a suitable location for Northern lights observation.
