Depart from the ordinary on your next trip to Norway by joining this unique and family-friendly winter experience that combines campfire grilling with tandem skiing, a snowshoeing walk, meeting reindeer, and storytelling, with transportation included from Tromsø! Welcoming Arctic explorers ages 4 and up.
Located above the Arctic Circle on the island of Tromsøya, the city of Tromsø is often referred to as Norway's "Gateway to the Arctic". Its breathtaking surroundings, rich cultural heritage, and wide variety of outdoor activities make Tromsø a must-visit destination when travelling to beautiful Norway! What better way to enjoy the Arctic's great outdoors than tandem skiing, campfire gilling, meeting reindeer, as well as learning all about the region, the Northern Lights, and the wilderness?
Your Wilderness Aurora Experience at Camp Tamok from Tromsø begins at the meeting point in the city's main bus terminal, where you and your group will board a comfortable bus for the 1.5-hour scenic drive to Camp Tamok in Tamok Valley. As you relax en route, you'll take in the awe-inspiring landscapes of this incredible region! Upon your arrival, you'll be welcomed by your friendly guide, who will distribute your winter gear, which includes a thermal suit, winter boots, a hat, and gloves. After a safety and itinerary briefing, the fun starts!
Your group will be divided into smaller groups, so everyone has the opportunity to experience the different activities of the day calmly and with adequate supervision. Throughout the day, your guide will prepare the campfire while sharing fascinating stories about life in the Arctic. You'll grill your own sausage over the crackling fire and will also be served a delicious hot berry juice. Refreshed and warmed up, the adventure continues with tandem skiing. As you traverse the snow-covered terrain outside of Tromsø, you'll learn about the history and evolution of skiing and its importance in Norwegian culture.
Animal lovers will rejoice over the next portion of the activity, as you meet the majestic reindeer. As darkness settles over the valley, keep your eyes on the sky for the Aurora Borealis. Camp Tamok's location away from artificial light offers excellent conditions for observing the Northern Lights when weather and solar activity allow. If the Aurora appears, guides can assist with photography and professional photos may be taken during the experience.
At the end of an amazing day, this winter experience from Tromsø comes to an end as you board the transfer back to the city with fond memories of your time spent in the Arctic wilderness!
