Day 1: DOG SLEDDING & NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE
Check-in to the yacht at 11:00am at Tromsø harbor in front of the Fiskekompaniet restaurant. Walk over to the pick up point for your Self-drive Husky Dog Sledding adventure with our trusted partner, Arctic Adventure Tours. The dog sledding excursion is 4 hours from pick up to drop off (13:00-17:00 / 1-5pm). You will have 3 hours at the kennel with time to learn about the dogs and the kennel (as well as cuddle and take photos with the dogs), and go on a 90 minute sled in the mountains. Hot drinks and homemade cake will be served at the end of the sled tour before your 30 minute return shuttle ride.

Return to the yacht after 17:00 (5pm), settle in to your onboard cabins, and enjoy a traditional Norwegian dinner as you embark on your northern lights and hot tub cruise for the evening. The yacht will cruise to an area near where the whales have been sighted and dock at a small harbor on a remote island for the night.

Day 2: WHALE WATCHING & NORTHERN LIGHTS WALK
Wake up to incredible arctic scenery, enjoy coffee on the deck, and fill up on breakfast in the interior saloon. During the winter day light hours (approx. 09:00-14:00), you will spend the day searching for orca, humpback whales, fin whales, eagles and arctic birds. The daylight is very short from the middle of November through January. It is just some four to five hours of “blue-light” where the sun never rises above the horizon. The yacht will dock at a harbor on a remote island for the night, where you can go ashore and walk around a remote village for a chance to see the aurora borealis.

Day 3: WHALE WATCHING & DEPARTURE. TROMSO
After another day of whale watching, enjoy the peaceful arctic scenery in the outdoor hot tub on the return fjord cruise. Tour ends at 22:00 (10pm) at the same place it started at Tromsø harbor in front of the Fiskekompaniet restaurant.
