Tromso Ice Domes & Northern Lights Chase

Fly direct to Tromso from London Gatwick and take the airport shuttle bus transfer from the airport to your hotel, the Clarion Collection Hotel With and home for the next 3 nights.

 

Enjoy a Scandinavian buffet style breakfast at the Clarion Collection Hotel With, before heading to the pick-up point (just a short walk from the hotel) for your trip into the Arctic Wilderness. The transfer departs for the 75 minute scenic journey through fjord and fjell and into the heart of the Tamok Valley. On arrival you will be greeted by your guide, who welcomes you with a complimetary drink in the Ice Bar (non-alcoholic. Other drinks are available for purchase.) and tells you how the Ice Domes were made. You then have time to take in the surrounds before a delicious Bacalao lunch is served in the Ice Restaurant. After lunch you return to Tromso approx 14.00. The afternoon is free for you to further explore Tromso before the evening Northern Lights chase.

 

This evening set off by coach from Tromso city centre in search of the northern lights. The experienced guides will have checked the lastest aurora forecast and head where the prediction is strongest. Stops are made along the way and the guides (who are also professional photographers) will help you to capture the magical landscape. Hot drinks are served at an exclusive Aurora Camp along with the opportunity to grill sausages over an open fire, before heading back to Tromso with this 6-hour excursion having maximised your chances of capturing the magical northern lights.

 

Breakfast before enjoying a day at leisure. The city has much to offer in terms of museum's and restaurants and you may wish to head up Sukkertoppen on the cable car from some dramatic panoramic views of the surrounds.  Alternatively book one of the many excursions on offer including whale watching (seasonal), snowmobiling, a husky safari or reindeer encounter.

 

Your return flight to the UK does not depart until early evening, so you have almost a full day to further enjoy the Capital of the Northern Lights, before taking the airport shuttle bus transfer back to the airport in time for your return flight to London Gatwick at 1930.
