Recommended travel points

When it comes to winter in Scandinavia, it's all about the 'Aurora'. The sight of the curtain of light named after a goddess dancing in the winter sky of Scandinavia, powered by mysterious forces sent from the distant sun, is something you should see at least once in your life.

Due to latitude, you can enjoy the Aurora, which is difficult to experience in Japan, as well as dog sledding and the unique winter fjord scenery.

Centered around Tromsø, known as a base for Aurora observation in Northern Norway, and Alta, known for its low rainfall, this plan combines Aurora observation and Norway's magnificent fjord tours. Although winter Aurora trips can be somewhat costly, this sample plan combines existing tours to make the itinerary as affordable as possible.

Of course, if you use Oooh, you can consult with a local coordinator to freely customize your trip according to your budget and interests.

Please take the opportunity to meet the dancing goddess in the sky at least once.



Detailed itinerary

  • Day 1

    Tromso Bridge, Norway

    Tromso

    The journey begins in Tromsø, the largest city in northern Norway.
    Tromsø is popular both in summer and winter, but during a winter trip to Norway, it serves as a base for various activities such as aurora sightseeing and skiing.

    Travel from the airport to your hotel in a separate transfer vehicle.
    After checking in at the hotel, take a short walk around Tromsø to feel the Nordic winter. You can also enjoy shopping, so if you feel that you don't have enough protection from the cold, it is recommended to go shopping.

    In the evening, enjoy a 3-hour boat trip to search for the aurora. On a quiet, electric-powered boat, savor a delicious dinner from a local restaurant. If the aurora is visible, you can enjoy it from the deck of the boat.

    Afterwards, return to the hotel for a good night's sleep.

Additionally, you can learn about the unique culture brought by fishing and the history of life in the Arctic Circle by visiting related sites.

    After returning to Tromsø in the evening, join a popular small-scale minibus aurora tour. A 14-seater bus with an experienced guide and driver will accompany you, chasing locations where the aurora can be seen based on weather forecasts. If the weather is good, a campfire and other preparations will be made at a location where the aurora is visible, allowing you to enjoy aurora observation with warmth while feeling the grandeur of nature.
