Skagsanden beach under the Northern Lights

Take snowmobiles up to a frozen lake to have a go at fishing. Once on the lake you will drill through the deep ice and fish for Arctic Char. A mountain hut heated by an open fire serves as a rest and viewpoint for a fish soup lunch. After lunch, try your skills at snowshoeing under the glow of the spectacular northern lights, which dance and illuminate the sky above you.

Board a small boat and head into the stunning Lyngen fjords for a sea safari. Whilst cruising under the gigantic cliffs of the Lyngen National Park you may spot orcas, humpback whales and dolphins. After these remarkable encounters, stop off at Glacier Bay, where you will trek to a frozen waterfall.
