Itinerary
Day 1 - Tromso
Welcome to Tromso, gateway to the Norwegian Arctic! On arrival, make your own way to the hotel or book an optional transfer with us. The rest of today is free for you to settle in, or head to start exploring this Arctic city.
Day 2 - Exploring Tromso
You can spend today exploring Tromso further. You have included entrance to Polaria, the world's most northerly aquarium, home to native species including bearded seals, as well as a panoramic cinema and an "Arctic Walkway" where you can explore exhibits designed to teach you about the unique Arctic ecosystem. There is also an optional cable car ride to the top of Mount Storsteinen, which includes transfers from the hotel and back.
Day 3 - Tromso to Andenes
Tromso - Andenes. Today you have an approximately 8-hour journey ahead of you, from Tromso to Andenes. You'll make this journey via the Arctic Bus, passing through charming village and Arctic landscapes. Photo stops along the way include the island hotel of Sommaroy, the small villages of Brensholmen and Botnhamn and the scenic waterfront of Mefjord Brygge. Stop at the soft white sands of Ersfjord Beach, the forests of Skaland and Hamn i Senja Harbour.
You switch to the ferry at Gryllefjord which will take you straight to Andenes. Look out for whales en route, as this is one of Europe's top whale watching spots. On arrival in Andenes, your evening is at leisure.
Please note: This is a Hop-On Hop-Off bus service, however it only runs once per day. You are welcome to get off at designated photo stops, but don't miss the bus! If you do, you will need to make your own way to Andenes to continue the tour.
Day 4 - Andenes to Svolvaer, Lofoten Islands
Andenes - Svolvaer. The morning is at leisure, or you can book an optional 2-3 hour whale watching tour aboard a rib boat. Later, you have another bus journey, this time a 4.5 hour trip to Svolvaer, capital of the Lofoten Islands. Stops along the route include Marmelkroken and the Stokmarknes Hurtigruten Museum, and you'll arrive in Svolvaer at around 21:30.
Day 5 - Exploring the Trollfjord & Return to Tromso
Svolvaer - Tromso. Today you will enjoy a cruise on the breath-taking Trollfjord aboard a hybrid-electric silent vessel, which is better for the environment and means you are likely to encounter much more wildlife, without the disturbance of the engines. Keep your eyes peeled for huge white tailed eagles soaring overhead.
Back on dry land, the rest of the day is free for you to further explore Svolvaer at your own pace. In the evening, transfer to the pier for your included overnight cruise back to Tromso.
Day 6 - Tromso at Leisure
You will arrive back in Tromso in the early afternoon, and will have the rest of your final full day in Norway to explore at your own pace.
Day 7 - Tromso
Your tour comes an end after breakfast and hotel check out. Make your own way to the airport unless you have booked an optional transfer with us.
