Wandering through Norway and Husky Adventure

Moving on from Tromso, you travel even further north to Longyearbyen in the Arctic. Here you will have chance to try alternative versions of these snowy activities as you explore during the polar night. The small amount of light that gets through at this time of year creates a magical glow on the horizon which is a completely unique experience.

WHAT MAKES THIS TRIP EXTRAORDINARY 1) Marvelling at the dancing displays of the Aurora Borealis. 2) Learning how to care for and mush your own husky team. 3) Exploring the dramatic Arctic landscape. 4) Experiencing the traditional trapper lifestyle.
