Northern Norway Tours & Trips
Ever dreamed about dog sledding through actual Arctic wilderness? Atlantic Husky thing in Tromso is everyone's favorite part. You’ll drive your own sled through snow-covered terrain with huskies. Northern Lights are another big draw, though finding them means longer drives to clear sky spots since weather affects visibility. Active days, evening lights - what could be better?

Tour more than met our expectations. Our tour guide, Stefano, was good and very helpful when I sustained an injury.
Arctic Experience in Tromsø and Lofoten IslandsWe were very fortunate to have had a spectacular Northern Lights show on Sommarøy Island. However, we were lucky to have made it! Our vouchers were never sent to us and we had to find contact details and talk to two companies to get what we paid for from our first hotel. Additionally, the information provided said to meet at the hotel foyer to meet the guide and we learnt what we purchased didn’t have a guide when we finally got through to the company. Finally, the shuttle timing was not well aligned to hotel check in and check out times which meant we spent a lot of time sitting in the hotel foyer. So for the money paid, poor communication and organisation put a damper on this experience. Next time, I would organise this myself and save the expense.
Polar Nights in Northern Norway - 5 daysI had the most amazing time on this trip with people i didn't know, but we all got on fine. There were 2 other solo travelers on the tour which was good. There are a lot of long drives on this tour but actually I didn't mind that as it gives you time to admire the scenery and rest a little and our Guide Luiz was truly amazing, giving us a lot of information on the way and telling us about his life. Was all very interesting, our guide as I said before was excellent as was the driver of the coach. He was also very friendly and helpful - both were very easy to talk to and you could obviously see they loved their jobs. The only thing I would say about this tour is there is a bit of free time and you have options to do other things, however I was not informed of this prior to the trip so had to book last minute, which wasn't a problem as Luiz sorted it out for me but it would've been helpful if the company had let me know what was on offer. The hotels were all very good, with great view in all of them, except the first and last hotel in Tromso, The Quality Inn was the greatest hotel, maybe because it was in the middle of the city, it was pretty basic compared to all the others. I must say that the breakfast in all the hotels were so good and very plentiful. I would highly recommend this tour as long as you know in advance about the extra tours you can book. Unfortunately we didn't see the northern lights, it was scheduled in our itinerary but you can never be sure to see them. That night we went out and Luiz had bought some cookies and some hot water for tea/coffee which was a lovely idea. I think they didn't go out far enough for us to see the lights. Highly recommended trip.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings back dark skies for aurora viewing while keeping temperatures mild enough for outdoor activities. Our best programs mix northern lights hunting with local culture - one day you're at Alta's original Northern Lights observatory, the next you're joining Sámi people for traditional joik singing. Many tours head into Arctic fjords where you might spot migrating whales while looking for the aurora. The comfortable temperatures and increasing darkness make autumn perfect for king crab fishing near the Russian border, exploring Tromsø's old quarter and also visiting its modern Arctic Cathedral.
- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Northern Norway really comes alive with our Arctic tours, running 7-10 days through Tromsø, Alta and also Honningsvåg. The glass-roofed cabins at Aurora Village are a customer favorite - you can watch for northern lights from your bed between September and March. Dog sledding stands out as the top winter activity, where you get to drive your own sled through fresh snow. Our guests tell us how special it feels to meet the husky teams and hear stories from mushers about competitive sledding. The winter routes include reindeer safaris with Sámi guides who welcome you into their traditional lavvu tents for meals and good conversation around the fire. Some tours add overnight Hurtigruten voyages, letting you chase the aurora along Norway's rugged coast on your way to the North Cape.

- Spring 2027
Spring tours capture that sweet spot when days get longer but winter activities are still running. Our 5-day programs linking Tromsø with Sommarøy Island work really well, with chances to see northern lights early in the season. You'll go reindeer sledding, visit the Arctic's northernmost Polar Park and walk through charming fishing villages with local guides. What makes spring interesting is how you might go dog sledding one morning then hop on a RIB boat to spot sea eagles that afternoon. The clear spring air and extra daylight give photographers plenty to work with, especially during northern lights watches from dark beaches away from city lights.
