Trip Overview

Welcome to Tromsø, the gateway to the Arctic.

Seven days of thrilling wildlife encounters with orcas, Northern Lights chasing, Sámi culture, fjord hiking and winter sports — with two nights in glass igloos and five in a shared villa.

Most meals, transport and activities are covered. We keep the group to 8 adventurers (4 couples) for an intimate, personalised and responsible experience with a low impact on the wildlife and places we visit.

Orcas, humpback whales, sea eagles, seals, porpoises and reindeer are all possible across the fjords and coast. Every sighting is a gift; we never force nature or promise what it cannot promise.
