Tromsø Snowmobile and Dog Sledding Adventure

Upon your arrival in Tromsø, a seamless and comfortable private transfer awaits to whisk you directly to your accommodation, The Dock 69°39 by Scandic. After settling into your hotel, the remainder of the day is at your leisure. This provides the perfect opportunity to unpack, explore the immediate surroundings of your hotel, or simply relax and acclimatise to the crisp Arctic air, preparing for the exciting days ahead. You might consider a gentle stroll to take in the initial impressions of this charming northern city.

Your first full day in Tromsø promises an exciting Arctic experience, beginning with a thrilling small-group dog sledding tour. You’ll be introduced to a team of eager huskies, and you will get instructions on how to drive your dog sledding team, then you will slide into the snow-covered highlands of Kvaløya, between trees and over hills, venturing into Tromsø’s Arctic Wilderness! The afternoon is then yours to enjoy at leisure, perhaps to warm up with a hot drink, explore some of Tromsø’s city centre attractions, or simply rest.

As evening descends, prepare for a magical Northern Lights snowshoe excursion at Fjellheisen. This unique tour combines the gentle adventure of snowshoeing with the breathtaking possibility of witnessing the Aurora Borealis dancing across the night sky from a fantastic vantage point overlooking the city. Embrace your adventurous spirit and follow us out into the crisp evening air and the beauty of the Arctic mountains. Together, we will trek along snow-covered paths in search of the magical Northern Lights. If we are unlucky and we do not get to see them dance that night – the panorama of Tromsø’s shining city lights nestled into the frozen winter landscape alone will make you glad you made the trip.

We meet at the departure point in Tromsø city center. From there, a private shuttle takes us to Fjellheisen lower station. With permission to skip the queue, we can go straight up to the upper station, 421m above sea level, where our snowshoe hike begins. We will provide all the snowshoeing equipment and training you need to enjoy this active morning outside. Our experienced guide will accompany you every step of the way, ensuring fun and your safety on the trail. If the northern lights make an appearance, they will also capture an Aurora portrait for you.

After approximately 1 hour on snowshoes, we return to the upper station. Here you can savor a hot drink and sweet pastry outside while we continue to look out for the Northern Lights on the open-air panorama terrace, we will take the cable car down and a private shuttle bus will bring you back to town.

Another exciting day of Arctic adventures, starting with a small-group snowmobile tour. You’ll rev up your engines and navigate through the snowy terrain, experiencing the speed and thrill of snowmobiling in a safe and guided environment. After an action-packed morning, the afternoon offers time to relax and recharge, or simply unwinding at your hotel. As night falls, get ready for a truly unique experience: a Northern Lights Safari, from the sea. This special excursion takes you out onto the water, away from light pollution, offering an unparalleled opportunity to witness the Aurora Borealis, with the added comfort of knowing your guides are committed to finding you a spectacular viewpoint to see The Northern Lights.

Our spacious and environmentally friendly catamaran MS Rygerdronningen is also high-speed, we can cruise away from the city lights to ideal viewing conditions near Tromsø. Our guide will tell you about this unique natural phenomenon and even offer tips for photographing it.

About the boat: MS Rygerdronningen is excellent for hunting the Northern Lights. You can watch the mystical Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky from our luxurious, warm cabin with panoramic windows. Then head out on our spacious viewing decks in the brisk polar air to enjoy the fantastic spectacle. On board, our kiosk sells delightful pastries and hot or cold drinks, plus a warm and delicious soup.

Today is dedicated entirely to the thrill of snowmobiling with a full day at Camp Tamok. Located outside the city, Camp Tamok offers extensive, deep winter trails and an immersive wilderness experience. You’ll have ample time to hone your snowmobiling skills, explore more remote areas, and truly appreciate the vast, untouched beauty of the Arctic landscape. This extended experience allows for deeper exploration and a more comprehensive understanding of the surrounding nature. Experience the thrill of snowmobiling through the remote Arctic wilderness surrounding Camp Tamok. Join us on a breathtaking journey through snow-covered landscapes, inaccessible by other means. Depart from the city center of Tromsø by bus and embark on an exciting snowmobiling adventure. After a 90-minute relaxing bus journey, you will enter the remote area Tamokdalen where our wilderness camp is located.

Upon arrival at Camp Tamok, you will be warmly greeted by your guide and outfitted with all the necessary gear and clothing, including thermal suit, boots, gloves and helmet. Our expert guides will provide thorough safety instructions on how to drive a snowmobile, ensuring everyone feels confident and safe before heading out on the tour. Follow your tour guide and navigate along snowy trails, passing snow-covered mountains, valleys, frozen rivers, and lakes.

You will share a snowmobile with another person, taking turns as the driver and passenger. Halfway through the tour, we’ll have a short break where you’ll swap places, ensuring both of you have the chance to drive the snowmobile. After the tour, you will return to the camp, where a warm meal awaits in one of our traditional lavvus (indigenous Sámi tent). With food and drinks served, gathered around the open fire, you will get the chance to relax and share stories of your recent adventures! During peak season, we might split the group to avoid large groups. Half of the group will start with a warm meal in the lavvu before heading out on their snowmobile tour.

With everyone returned to the camp, it’s time to board the bus and return to Tromsø, taking with you great memories of an adrenaline-filled day in the Arctic wilderness. After an exhilarating day in the snow, the evening is at your leisure, providing a perfect opportunity to unwind, reflect on your Arctic adventures, and perhaps enjoy a final meal out in Tromsø.
