Tour Overview
Picture steep, majestic mountains diving straight into the sea, and pearly white beaches of crushed sea shells lining the islands in the clear turquoise waters. Nestled on one of these tiny islands, is your accommodation for your stay, a small hotel looking out over a secluded bay. Private, quiet and picturesque!
Winter is a magical time at Senja. During your stay, become accustomed to the beautiful Arctic snow covered mountains and the aurora borealis dancing across the sky.
During your wildlife safari, you can also get close views of seals, majestic sea eagles and sea birds. Though the views are almost Caribbean-esque, the temperature will likely remind you that you’re actually North of the Polar circle.

Tromsø is a city packed with culture, polar history and fresh locally sourced food in its numerous restaurants. Welcome to Tromsø, the capital of Arctic. Tromsø is often called “Paris of the North” and “City of Lights”, and it is rare to have such a lively town located so far past the Arctic Circle. Mountains, fjords and islands surround it, making it a great base for exploring the winter landscape.
Day in Tromsø to explore the town and its surroundings. This day is free for exploring Tromsø or trying many of the winter activities available in its vicinity. Ask us for information about guided walking tours including a visit to the Polar Museum, dog sledding through the beautiful winter landscape, guided northern light tours and other possible activities.
Express boat to Finnsnes and transferring to Senja. Take the express boat (approx. 1h 20min) from Tromsø to Finnsnes, from where you will have a transfer to your accommodation, an idyllic holiday and activity hotel spectacularly set between fjords and mountains on the west coast of Senja, Norway’s 2nd largest island. Senja is the perfect place to view the northern lights with minimum amount of light pollution, and the mountains and fjord serve as a stunning backdrop for the Aurora, just outside your doorstep.
Wildlife Safari – incredible chances to see sea eagles, seals and other birdlife. Prepare for an exciting day, as you take off to the sea to explore the arctic waters. Dress warmly in the provided windproof overgear, hot drink in hand and be on the look out for possible encounters with bigger marine animals such as seals, harbour porpoise and pilot whales which have been spotted in these waters. Look skyward for majestic sea eagles and other birdlife.
Northern Lights snowshoe walk. A free day to take in the magnificent views surrounding Senja. Try arctic bathing in a survival suit, try your hand at winter fishing, summit to sea off piste ski touring or just relax in the resort, ask us for more information on the optional activities as some of these options need to be organised before you arrive. In the evening, you will be escorted on a 3-hour Northern Lights snowshoeing tour. Walk with a guide in areas with no light pollution. Hear the sound of silence, feel the darkness and fingers crossed, be amazed by the dancing Aurora. This tour includes snowshoes & poles, hot drinks and evening snacks.
Departure day. After breakfast, transfer back to Finnsnes, from where you have the option to take the express boat back to Tromsø, or the Hurtigruten ferry further north.
