Sea Eagle Safari by RIB or boat in Sommarøy

On this guided tour, you'll head out on the open sea to explore the coast of Sommarøy, in search of the resident colony of sea eagles. Take in the stunning views of the rugged shoreline of Sommarøy and look out for the immense birds as they swoop down to catch fish - with impressive wing spans of up to two metres, they're hard to miss.

Husky safari in Tromsø

Discover the Arctic coastal nature with breathtaking views of Tromsø along the way, as you travel past the landscape of snow-topped mountains and long fjords. Spend an hour of sledding through the Arctic wilderness to take in the views, before returning to the farm where you can meet some adorable husky puppies, then warm up with a traditional Sami reindeer stew and coffee.

Ice Fishing excursion

Discover the thrills of ice fishing in a hidden valley and fjord just outside Tromsø. Your tour first takes you on scenic drive through valleys, fjords, and mountains. Once at the fjord, you'll be kitted out with an ice drill and ice fishing equipment before you head out onto the frozen lake.

Sami culture and Reindeer experience

Learn more about the culture and heritage of the Sami - the indigenous people of northern Europe, and get to know more about the importance of reindeer in their lives. The reindeer sleigh is the oldest form of transportation in the north - you'll get to ride across the scenic wilderness on a sleigh ride, and learn more about the Sami way of life.

Discover Tromsø and surrounding region

On this relaxing Arctic scenery tour, you'll venture around the picturesque and breathtaking island of Kvaløya; the fifth biggest island of Norway. Discover the Arctic wildlife while enjoying stunning mountain views and endless fjord views. Keep your eyes open for eagles, sea otters, seals, foxes, moose, and reindeer.

Snowmobile safari

Explore the majestic Lyngenalps with a local guide on this scenic, and safe snowmobile safari where you can see Arctic nature at its finest. During this excursion, you'll follow the trails to get a closer look at the magnificent sights here, before a thrilling snowmobile ride, ending with a warm traditional Sami meal, served in a Lavvu (Sami tent).

Aurora dinner cruise

Take a cruise away from the bright lights of Tromsø, to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. With minimal light pollution, you'll have a better chance of seeing the magnificent aurora, surrounded by the darkness out at sea. A home-made fresh fish dinner will be served with a dessert and coffee / tea during the cruise.

Northern Lights hunt by bus

Accompanied by a licensed professional guide on board, this tour will take you to the best places to see the Northern Lights, depending on conditions of the day, along with warm drinks and snacks throughout.
