Choice of Day Activities
As ONE of your day activities, we highly recommend that you select Reindeer Feeding + Sami Lapland Culture. This is an activity like no other. As the Sami people are the aborigines in Norway, this activity will give you a more holistic overview of the origins of Norway.
Reindeer Feeding + Sami Lapland Culture
This activity begins with reindeer-feeding where you'll get up close with the enchanting reindeers. After that, lunch is served in a tippi tent with a cosy bonfire lit up specially for you, the guests! As you enjoy your lunch, the Sami Chief will share on their life as aborigines in the arctic area, as well as their artifacts. If you’re lucky, the Chief might just break into their traditional song called the YOIK.
Sailing & Fishing
This is not an ordinary fishing trip. Coffee and tea awaits you upon arrival. Our panoramic saloon is the best place to be while we cruise to the fishing area. After a short trip, you should be able to catch fish. We cannot guarantee that you'll catch fish, but almost! We'll cook the catch-of-the day or if not, we'll serve fresh fish for you to feast on board.
Sightseeing Road Trip
This trip invites you to sit back and enjoy lots of breathtaking sceneries. For those who love photography, this is a trip not to be missed! Catch the fjords, beach, the local neighborhood & forests. Should you be lucky, you might just catch sight of arctic animals like the moose, deer or fox.
Tromsø City Walking Tour
Tromsø City used to be known as the 'Paris of Norway' due to the high fashion donned by the locals back then. This small city is home to the oldest (& still running!) cinema in Norway, the smallest pub and a most grand library! Join this relaxing walking tour with our local Norwegian guide.
Whale Safari
Here’s an activity for all ages. If it’s too cold on the deck, you can watch the whales from inside the boats.
PRICE
Pls ensure that you book this tour at least 3 weeks before your date of arrival in Tromsø, Norway.
