Itinerary
Tromsø is a city packed with culture, polar history and fresh locally sourced food in its numerous restaurants. Tromsø is often called "Paris of the North" and "City of Lights", and it is rare to have such a lively town located so far past the Arctic Circle. Mountains, fjords and islands surround it, making it a great base for exploring the winter landscape.
This day is free for exploring Tromsø or trying many of the winter activities available in its vicinity. Ask us for information about guided walking tours including a visit to the Polar Museum, dog sledding through the beautiful winter landscape, guided northern light tours and other possible activities.
Take the express boat (approx. 1h 20min) from Tromsø to Finnsnes, from where you will have a transfer to Hamn in Senja, an idyllic holiday and activity hotel spectacularly set between fjords and mountains on the west coast of Senja, Norway's 2nd largest island....
Prepare for an exciting day, as you take off to the sea to explore the arctic waters. Dress warmly in the provided windproof overgear, hot drink in hand and be on the look out for possible encounters with bigger marine animals such as seals, harbour porpoise and pilot whales which have been spotted in these waters. Look skyward for majestic sea eagles and other birdlife.
A free day to take in the magnificent views surrounding Senja. Try arctic bathing in a survival suit, try your hand at winter fishing, summit to sea off piste ski touring or just relax in the resort, ask us for more information on the optional activities as som...
After breakfast, transfer back to Finnsnes, from where you have the option to take the express boat back to Tromsø, or the Hurtigruten ferry further north.
