Additional Information

Embark on a midnight sun tour from Tromsø through beautiful landscapes to see the open ocean under the enchanting arctic midnight sun or sunset.

As the sun is slowly dipping towards the horizon, we set sail for the outer coast of Norway where we have an unobstructed view of the ocean and horizon. From here, only the Barents Sea separates us from Svalbard and the north pole.

Depending on the day we can take the ‘south’ or ‘northern’ route along Kvaløya coastline with sporadically dotted by villages and idyllic boathouses and fish drying racks.

While we take in the midnight sun/sunset, we keep an eye out for birdlife that is particularly lively in the summer. In particular puffins that nest on a few remote islands along the Norwegian coast between May and August.

Throughout the evening, our passionate guides will share stories and insights about nature, wildlife and life in the arctic during the midnight sun.

*Please note that both wildlife and midnight sun can’t be guaranteed

Great experience - This was an amazing experience and the perfect way to round off the last day of my trip. The weather was beautiful and we were fortunate enough to see the midnight sun over the mountains on this trip. The crew were excellent, accommodating, attentive and made special effort to point out any wildlife in the area, such as razorbills, eider ducks and a sea eagle. I really enjoyed learning about the local wildlife and the history of the local area and the islands we passed along the way. Christopher was a great host and shared a lot of great local and environmental knowledge. Thanks, keep it classy!
