Exhausting but exhilarating day out. An hour’s drive, followed by a two and a half hour’s walking brings you to the Steindals glacier in Lyngen. Upon arrival you will receive a basic course in the use of glacial equipment and safety before we embark on our journey over the glacier, which will last for about three to four hours, with the awe-inspiring Alps of Lyngen in the background. A truly memorable experience. Bring warm and windproof clothing, sunglasses, good mountain boots, a woollen hat and mittens.
Experience Northern Norway's unique arctic landscape with a trek suitable for all fitness levels. An experienced outdoor guide with real racing huskies, carrying all the needed gear, will guide you on a hike through rolling arctic hills overlooking Norway's famous fjords. You will grill your own food over an open campfire and enjoy hot coffee and delicious homemade chocolate cake. While out in the wilderness means there is always the possibility of seeing the north's native wildlife.
Enjoy an adventurous and exotic hiking trip in the bright summer night! Beautiful mountain scenery! Make sure to wear hiking shoes.
At 2300 we leave Tromso harbour to go to Gasvaer Island, where we marvel at the white coral sand, spectacular sea views and a beautiful old church, following which we sail through Falsundet enjoying the bright shining night and hoping to see seals, dolphins and sea eagles. An unforgettable experience.
Leave by Rigid Inflatable Boat to the site of the sinking of the German Battle ship ‘Tirpitz’, by the Royal Air Force in 1944, and then on to the Musk Oxen island. The Musk Ox is a magnificent arctic animal with a thick coat.
