Don’t miss the striking Arctic Cathedral, an architectural landmark or a visit to Polaria, where you can learn about Arctic wildlife and ecosystems. After exploring, warm up with a meal at Mathallen, where Arctic ingredients are transformed into seasonal dishes. Tromsø is also an ideal spot to chase the northern lights.

Depart Tromsø and journey east to the remote beauty of Varanger Lodge in Nesseby, where you’ll spend four nights immersed in Arctic tranquillity. Nestled on the edge of a dramatic fjord, this eco-friendly retreat offers both comfort and seclusion. On arrival, settle into your cosy cabin before enjoying a welcoming dinner prepared with local flavours. End the evening in the wood-fired sauna, where panoramic windows open onto sweeping views of the fjord, setting the tone for your unforgettable Arctic stay.

From Varanger Lodge, set out on an exhilarating journey aboard a comfortable snow sled as your guide leads the way on a snowmobile. Journey across the pristine Arctic wilderness, gliding through vast, untouched landscapes of snow and ice, taking in sweeping views of northern Norway’s dramatic scenery. Midway, pause for an unforgettable ice fishing experience, drilling into frozen waters in search of local catch. Warm up with a hearty outdoor lunch, prepared over an open fire, before continuing your adventure. This thrilling journey combines speed, stillness, and the raw beauty of the Arctic.

Glide across pristine Arctic landscapes on a dog-sledding adventure, led by an experienced musher. You’ll travel through snowy tundra, feel the rhythmic pull of huskies, and soak in the silence and scenery—all without needing prior experience. Afterwards, embark on a visit to a reindeer sanctuary where you’ll meet tame reindeer, feed them, learn about Sámi culture and reindeer husbandry, and capture memorable photos. These two experiences offer both exhilaration and connection with local wildlife and heritage.

Join a King Crab Safari from Varanger Lodge led by skipper Edgar Olsen, a local fisherman and king-crab expert. Board Edgar’s own boat in Nesseby harbour and head out into Varanger Fjord to haul in crab pots, learning about the biology of king crab and sustainable harvesting techniques. You’ll help sort the catch and get hands-on experience. Best of all, savour fresh-caught king crab prepared right from the sea—flavour you can’t beat. This three-hour adventure is as authentic as it is unforgettable.
