Let's raise a glass together to an exciting trip ahead during your welcome dinner! Tonight's included dinner will be served at the hotel. Your meal will consist of a 3 course set menu, including a starter, main entree and dessert. Drinks are not included but can be purchased directly at an additional cost.

Overnight in Tromsø.

Take a private transfer to Camp Tamok. Stops for the restroom will be made as needed.

From the hotel you will depart this morning to enjoy a Reindeer Safari in the magical location of Camp Tamok. Upon arrival we dress in warm winter clothes and boots and then head off to explore the ancient part of Sami culture and try the oldest form of transport in the north. As the reindeer herd is some distance from the main part of the camp, your adventure will start with a short 5 minute transfer by minibus to our Sami Camp. This fascinating cultural adventure includes reindeer sledding, an introduction to lasso throwing, storytelling about the Sami culture and feeding the reindeer. Please note this activity is outside and the temperatures will be low so please dress warmly and bring a hat and a scarf to keep warm. TrovaTrip works in tandem with the local operator to vet and ensure all animals are treated humanely and respectfully.

During the activity, a light lunch will be served in a typical Sami tent called Kota. Your meal will consist of a traditional Norwegian stew made up of meat and vegetables. Water, coffee & tea are included.

After settling in to your new accommodations you will reconvene as a group in the lobby and walk to your activity. Snowshoeing is the closest way to experience the nature of Lapland. The deep snow crunching under the shoes, the snow-hooded trees, and the pearly-white willow grouse watching you from afar – the winter nature is a magical world of its own. You will hike through the forest in snowshoes to a nearby fell where we will build a fire and enjoy the spectacular scenery. The guide will provide information on the nature and animals of Lapland, and with any luck we may see a Siberian jay, a willow grouse, or a herd of reindeer wandering by. For this activity you will be provided with an outer-layer of warm clothing like a jacket and pants, boots and snowshoes. We recommend thermal layers for underneath the jacket and pants as well as a hat and gloves. This trip is beginner friendly with no experience necessary. It is especially suitable for nature-lovers, who wish to take great photographs and enjoy the natural scenery in an ecological way. The distance covered in this experience depends on the pace and ability of the group but could be anywhere from 1-2 miles. After, you will have the remainder of the afternoon to relax before dinner.

Starting from the lobby, you will take a short walk to meet the huskies at the Aurora hut. Your local guide will help get you fitted in a warm outer-layer and boots. After you will break into pairs of 2 where one will drive the sled while the other is a passenger and off you go! Driving a team of huskies over the white, shimmering fells is an experience that is almost mandatory during a trip to Lapland. Half way through the ride you will take a break where you have the opportunity to change drivers if you choose to do so and also play with the dogs. Continuing on, the eager dogs run at full speed and the sled glides effortlessly over the snowdrifts with the skids hissing softly. The husky safari takes you on a fast-paced trip over the untouched snow of the forests of Levi. This is an experience that you will never forget! We recommend dressing in thermal clothing as a base layer and packing a hat, scarf and gloves. TrovaTrip works in tandem with the local operator to vet and ensure all animals are treated humanely and respectfully.
