Northern Norway and the Northern Lights

In the late morning, your guide and a private vehicle will come to pick you up and show you the city of Tromsø. During the tour you will visit the Arctic Cathedral, a highly rated architectural masterpiece built in 1965.

Continue to the Polar Museum, where the endeavours of many Norwegian explorers and hunters are showcased before spending the rest of the afternoon at leisure.

In the evening, you will visit the Mack Brewery. Here you will see how the world’s most northern brewery brews its beer and “arctic mineral water”.

After breakfast, you’ll leave Tromsø for Kirkenes. This involves a short flight.

Kirkenes is nestled in between the Varanger Fjord and the Russian border, serving as the most remote outpost of mainland Norway.

Once in Kirkenes, get ready to go on a King Crab Safari. Transfer via boat or snowmobile (depending on conditions) alongside your guide. You will watch the divers submerge themselves into the icy water hunting for the massive crabs.

Once you’re back on the mainland, indulge yourself in a lovely King Crab Lunch.

You’ll then head back to your hotel where you’ll have a chance to explore the local surroundings or relax

Then, in the evening, we’ll arrange for you to go on a Northern Lights hunt. Whilst they can never be guaranteed you’re probably in one of the best places in the world to see the spectacular light show.

After breakfast, you’ll travel with your guide to the Kirkenes Snow Hotel.

A unique hotel, upon arrival you’ll be treated to an ice-drink made from berries from the local area.

In the evening, enjoy a 3-course traditional Norwegian dinner with locally sourced ingredients.

After dinner, explore the snow hotel further and meet the resident reindeers. Look up into the night sky and if you’re lucky you’ll witness the Northern Lights for a second time.
