Day 2 Tromsø

Sleep in this morning and relax at your hotel.

Haven’t seen the Aurora yet? Enjoy the darkness out at the wilderness center on a “Aurora Borealis” visit. Here you can escape the city lights of Tromsø and take magnificent pictures of the Aurora Borealis. If the northern light does not appear you can enjoy the warmth of a Sami lavvo where you will be served hot drinks and  can grill sausages over an open fire – the Norwegian style. A visit to the dog yard with puppies is well worth! Warm clothes, snack, hot drink, transfer (30 minutes) are included in the cost.

Enjoy a 75 minute drive out in the wilderness, to Camp Tamok. The camp consists of Sami tents and a timber cabin. The snowmobile safari winter adventure goes through the valley of Finn, to the lake of Tamok, a distance of 15 km one way. At the lake you can try out ice fishing. You will be driving in pairs, one driver and one passenger on each snowmobile, with opportunity to switch places half way. A thorough safety introduction will take place ahead of starting up.
