Magical Norway escape with Northern Lights & husky safari

Tromsø

Your adventure starts in northern Norway’s largest city, though with a population of just 70,000 you’ll likely have at least some peace and quiet to take in the jaw-dropping mountain views. Blessed by both the midnight sun in summer and the elusive Northern Lights in winter, Tromsø’s natural wonders go above and beyond, and there’s plenty to be getting on with here. Activities in and around the city include hiking (climb up to Fjellheisen or take the cable car for unbelievable views), sea fishing, whale safaris, and the world’s northernmost golf course. The food scene here is something special too, focussing on the city’s history as an explorer base, you’ll find hearty and filling dishes full of freshly-caught seafood.

Meistervik, Malangen Peninsula

A scenic transfer by road to your next destination will provide a tantalising glimpse of some of Norway's finest landscapes as you travel on to Meistervik. Arriving at the waterside Malangen Brygger Resort, an icy fjord sitting right on your doorstep backed by jagged, snowcapped peaks will slip you swiftly into Scandinavian spirits. While here, you’ll embark on an intrepid husky safari through the wilderness, and spend three glorious hours hunting down the awe-inspiring Northern Lights (which you might also be lucky enough to see from your sea-view cabin). For an even more authentic Norwegian experience, opt to enjoy a reindeer-feeding and an afternoon of Sami storytelling, where you’ll hear about the Sami people and their beliefs in a traditional lavvu, in front of a glowing fire. You can also choose to include fat-bike rental, for some seriously snowy fun.
