TOUR OVERVIEW
This tour will be ONE HELLUVA WEEKEND! We are putting up a special experience where all of the magic happens by the countryside, on the outskirts of Tromsø city. The place to be is called SØRREISA, a charming, lazy suburb. Sørreisa has a big lake and the locals line their houses along the lake. Locations of houses in Sørreisa are rather sparse. There is a luxury of space which is very characteristic of Norway.
You will stay in a traditional Norwegian cabin, located romantically by the water.Overlooking the balcony is an open view which allows the Northern Lights to be easily visible, should Lady Aurora comes for a visit.
The Northern Lights Countryside Tour is like no other that we have designed before! On this tour, we aim to give you the true, authentic Norwegian experience by sharing with you the local flavours too. All meals will be covered and yes, we’ll be packing a variety of Norwegian cuisines in the meals.
Over the 3 days and 2 nights, you’ll be chasing the Northern Lights on 2 nights. You'll also catch breathtaking landscapes on a road trip to Senja Island and indulge in activities not available in the city, like Snowsledding and Tent Sauna.
