Day Trips from Tromso

Efficient transportation, helpful orientation, and provision of thermal suits. Despite being accustomed to freezing US winters (-20 to -40 Fahrenheit not uncommon in late December) and being dressed in layers, including parkas, we were freezing. So TAKE THE SUITS when offered. The lavvu was very warm, so the layers were helpful after running in and out to see the lights before dinner. Our hosts were very flexible with the hot drinks, the meal was simple and beautifully presented. The sledding and reindeer feeding was a hoot, the lights were slowly starting to grow as we finished the ride and a full moon/stars complemented the beautiful scenery. Leaving Tromsø in the evening, as charming as the city is, was the best plan we made. Our Sami guides were equally charming during a conversational culture lesson. None of it felt rushed or rehearsed. It happened to be New Years Eve and after a wonderful evening the bus ride included sparkling, crystal clear snow and the start of fireworks EVERYWHERE along the harbour. Even if Lady Aurora is shy, the people, animals and country are worth the trip. Thanks to everyone who made it a special New Years Eve. Highlight of the trip for 17 AND 22 year old children, as well as their parents.

Such an amazing experience! Our guide was super knowledgeable and patient, taking us to the best spots to catch the Northern Lights. He captured fantastic photos for everyone, and the hotel pickup made everything easy. This tour went above and beyond!

This tour was worth every penny! Our guide was knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we got the best view of the Northern Lights. The unlimited time really made a difference, and the photos he took were stunning. Highly recommend this if you’re in Tromsø!

Did this solo and had a blast. Dogs are friendly, staff is knowledgeable. Sled ride was a thrill. Food was tasty. Would recommend!

Great for families. Dogs are friendly, staff is helpful. Sled ride was a bit short but still worth it. Soup at the end was warm and filling.
