The city, which was also called the Gateway to the Arctic, has been throughout history the start for several Polar Expeditions. The tour continues with a guided walk along Storgata (the pedestrian street), the Market Place, the Catholic and Protestant Cathedrals, Roald Amundsen monument and the Mack Brewery.

Choose activity of the day: Select 1 activity between Husky safari / reindeer sledding / Snowmobile tour
Husky safari - Experience a unique dog sledding adventure through snowy terrain, surrounded by Arctic mountain landscape. Our team of huskies are eager to greet you and take you on a journey into the wilderness. No previous husky mushing skills needed. Upon arrival at the camp, we will provide warm winter clothes and other required gear. Our guides will give thorough safety instructions and a practical demonstration on how to steer your own sled. Dog sledding with Alaskan huskies is an active experience. Each dog sled will have two people sharing a husky team. Along the way, you will get the chance to switch places, so both of you get a chance to be the driver.
Reindeer sledding - Experience the oldest means of transportation in the North and learn about Sámi culture on a guided reindeer sledding tour from Tromsø. Let the reindeer take you out in nature on authentic Sámi sleds as you get a taste of life above the Polar circle. Upon arrival your Sámi guide will be waiting, ready to tell you more about the experience you will have with the reindeer and culture. You can change into some warmer clothing and shoes, and then you're ready to go sledding through the snow! Warm lunch included. After lunch, your Sámi guide is excited to tell you more about Sámi culture, as well as show you some clothing and artifacts.
Snowmobile tour - In the wintertime, the Tromsø region transforms into a frozen wonderland. There is something magical about speeding across the snow-covered landscape on a snowmobile. You have views of majestic mountains, deep forests and frozen rivers from your seat. Remember to keep an eye out for wildlife you can encounter in the Tromsø region, such as reindeer, moose and various bird species. Most snowmobile tours require no prior experience or knowledge. Experienced guides provide the guests with good training including a safety briefing before setting off. They will join you on the trip to take care of safety, share stories and answer questions.
