The beauty of Tromsø's Skies

Tromsø, a city nestled in the heart of the Arctic, is a place where nature defies convention. In spring, the city is bathed in the soft hues of sunsets that paint the sky in a palette of fiery reds and gentle pinks. As summer approaches, these sunsets gradually give way to the phenomenon called Midnight Sun or Polar Day. Whilst on our tour, you will be able to witness the beginnings of this phenomenon whilst gliding smoothly on the fjords.

While we take in the light, we keep an eye out for birdlife that is particularly active and lively in the summer months. One particular bird that can sometimes be observed is the puffin*, that nest on a few remote islands along the Norwegian coast between May and August.
 

*Please note that the peak of the Midnight Sun will not be visible on this tour. Additionally, wildlife cannot be guaranteed but we will do our best.
