Your Small Group Tour with a maximum of 24 guests begins above the Arctic Circle in Tromsø, a picturesque town framed by soaring mountains and fjords, where the mesmerising northern lights frequently illuminate the night sky. Discover charming fishing villages nearby, still largely untouched by mainstream tourism, before venturing into the pristine wilderness to visit a husky farm and enjoy an exhilarating sled ride through snow-blanketed mountains and tranquil forest landscapes.

Meet a herd of reindeer at a family homestead, gain insight into Indigenous Sámi culture, and enjoy an unforgettable stay in a glass-domed igloo, offering a rare opportunity to perhaps witness the northern lights from the comfort of your bed. In Stockholm, encounter the world’s only surviving 17th-century timber warship.

Highlights
  • Venture out into the wilderness with a visit to a husky farm. Here, take a thrilling sled adventure into snowy mountains and exquisite forest scenery, before enjoying lunch on the farm.

  • Visit a local homestead for a unique experience, where tradition and nature intertwine. Meet the family's diverse herd of reindeer, including those who are in training and those who've already graduated from 'sledding school'. After an opportunity to feed the reindeer, step inside a traditional log cabin to enjoy morning tea by an open fire. Here, you'll learn about the rich traditions of the indigenous Sámi culture. The Sámi language contains a wealth of vocabulary relating to nature and the surrounding environment, and they are also known to have precise terms related to reindeer descriptions.

  • Set out on an unforgettable snowmobile journey through the breathtaking Arctic landscapes of Levi. Glide across pristine snowfields and silent forests as your guide leads you deep into the wilderness. Stop for a truly special cultural encounter, as you are introduced to the ancient tradition of Joik, the spiritual singing of the Sámi people.
