Activity description
Sail through the Arctic fjords and admire a timeless spectacle during this sailing excursion under the Northern Lights in Tromsø!
Pukka Travel is very passionate about the Northern Lights and will do everything they can to provide you with the most memorable experience while waiting for the sky to start dancing in the sky above you.
There are many ways to enjoy nature's best light show, but the best is to combine it with a warm, comfortable cruise through the fjords surrounding Tromsø. The city is known as one of the best places in the world to watch the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis.
The scenery surrounding Tromsø is breathtaking during the daytime, but sailing in the dark under a clear starry sky with the opportunity to witness the Northern Lights is something very unique and special that only a small selection of explorers get to experience.
The skippers and guides have the knowledge and first hand experience to keep you safe and comfortable while enjoying the dancing night sky. After hundreds of sailing tours in the area, Pukka Travel has found the best spots in which you will have the highest chances to see the lights. Your skipper will also navigate to different areas depending on the weather forecast.
Witnessing the Northern Lights from the sea is a lifetime experience you will never forget!
The tour takes place from 9 pm to 00:30 am and includes:
– Guided cruising tour on board a luxurious catamaran
– Small bites, Espresso coffee, a wide variety of premium tea, and hot chocolate
– Easy sailing with the possibility to ask questions around navigation
– Professional skipper with all commercial licenses
– Comfortable indoor and outdoor seatings to watch the Northern Lights
