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?

Well organised. Our Tourguide Kari was very helpfull and kompetent. We defintely recommend this tour. One star less due to the "rendeer safari", which was just a little round (10 minutes) on a lake. Everything else was really great!

Best time to visit Northern Norway
- Spring 2026
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.
- Summer 2026
Summer brings 24-hour daylight, and our tours shift to the Lofoten Islands and Arctic fjords. The 6-8 day routes make great use of endless daylight for hiking, whale watching and exploring old fishing communities. Everyone loves staying in rorbuer - these are converted fishermen's cabins sitting right over the water on stilts. Summer trips often include quiet cruises through Trollfjord where you'll spot wildlife while learning about local maritime stories. Some tours connect Tromsø with Andenes, which has excellent whale watching, pristine beaches and also historic Viking sites. The constant daylight means you can pack more into each day, which our travelers really appreciate.

- 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.
