Hunting the Northern Lights - Adventure Trip
You will be picked up in the centre of Tromso for an adventurous trip to the exotic wilderness of the Tamok valley. Due to the geographical location the climate is drier and colder than in Tromso, thus offering a maximum chance of seeing the amazing Northern Lights. The visit includes a traditional, hot meal and social time by the open fire in the Sami tent. Also included: Insulated body suit. Warm shoes, gloves, headwear & head lamp. English speaking guide.
