Arriving at Tromsø Airport, you will be taken to the city via private taxi transfer. We recommend booking an early flight in order to maximise your time here and to ensure that you can enjoy tonight’s culinary experience. 

Dinner tonight will take place in Fiskekompaniet, a restaurant which prides itself on sourcing and elevating the freshest local ingredients Norway has to offer. Although the menu is as seasonal as the ingredients served on it, you can expect dishes featuring freshly-caught fish and rich desserts. With chic Scandinavian interiors and windows framing beautiful views of the harbour, it’s the perfect introduction to the sights, sounds and tastes of Tromsø.

After breakfast this morning, you’ll head out on your first adventure: a polar fjord cruise.  The boat is crewed by local fishers who will share tales and traditions that their ancestors have passed on through generations as you sail through the stunning fjords that surround Tromsø. As well as a direct line to the best fishing spots where their forefathers have been fishing for centuries, you will also be able to observe the marine wildlife which teems in the Arctic waters around you. From sea eagles and migratory birds to the several species of whale and dolphin which seek herrings in the winter seas, you have every chance of a magical wildlife encounter. Depending on the conditions, you will have a chance to fish for your lunch, with help from the local fishers. The catch will be served as a light lunch, on board and you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour as you admire the snow-covered mountains surroundingTromsø. You’ll be out for approximately 5 hours.

After a free afternoon enjoying all the modern cuisine, Tromsø has to offer, tonight’s fare will be a lot more traditional. Tonight, you will move away from the city lights and in search of the Northern Lights in the company of the indigenous Sámi people. You will start by transferring to a local reindeer camp where darker skies await. Here, you will meet with the herders who will introduce you to their animals. You will have a chance to feed the reindeer as the Sámi herders tell you all about life in the north.

Following your time with the animals, you will be invited inside a Gamme (a Sámi hut) to warm up by the fire and enjoy a traditional three-course Sámi meal. After dinner, you will move to the Lavu (Sámi tent) to gather around the fire and listen to stories about the Sámi culture as well as a traditional song, called a joik. As you spend time here, your guide will keep an eye on the sky where hopefully the Northern Lights will appear. You will be out for approximately 4 hours tonight, including transfers.

According to the locals, it is almost a “must” to do a fishing trip while in Tromsø. Although you will have experienced fishing in the fjords yesterday, your third day will be spent out on the Arctic waters on the MB Havcruise for a dedicated, small-group fishing tour in search of another fresh lunch. The expert guides will teach you the art of sea fishing, as you sail across the wintery seas. Venturing into the fjords and beyond, you will catch your own lunch: catfish, coalfish, pollack, haddock and halibut are all possibilities and if you are really lucky you may catch a cod! The fishing tour ends with a feast of your own catch, prepared and served by the crew. We did promise you the freshest fish meal you’ve ever had! You will be out for approximately 3 hours.

Returning to land, your afternoon is yours to spend as you wish. As darkness falls tonight, you will set back out onto the fjord for a Northern Lights dinner cruise. You will be able to search the skies for the Northern Lights in the waters surrounding Tromso whilst enjoying a delicious local dinner aboard your floating restaurant! As the boat is equipped with an electric engine (used for 75% of most tours) you will cruise silently into the darkness of the Tromsø fjords. You can enjoy a local craft beer from Graff or a carefully selected wine while seated next to a panoramic window. Your dinner is cooked with locally-sourced, seasonal and fresh ingredients, the dinner is a modern twist inspired by traditional Northern Norwegian culinary dishes (please advise of dietary requests in advance). The tour lasts for approximately 3 hours. Water is freely available however drinks from the fully stocked bar are not included in the price.

Following breakfast, we will transfer you to the airport for your flight home. If you have an early flight time, we will box up breakfast for you to take with you.
