Tromsø: Northern Lights Husky Visit with Traditional Dinner

Tromsø Villmarkssenter’s evening takes you by bus to its husky camp about 30 minutes from the centre, for about four hours with a campfire, a lavvo, the resident dogs and a dinner of bacalao, rated 4.7 from 1,755 reviews. It is the camp type: you wait for the aurora in one place, warm and fed, and if it does not come you have still had the evening.

Who it suits: families (it suits all ages), anyone who feels the cold, and a second night after a chase. Who should look elsewhere: anyone who wants to go after the lights on a cloudy night, because the camp cannot move; and anyone expecting a sled ride, since dog sledding is not part of this evening.

What to know before you book:

• Included: return transport from Tromsø, thermal suits and boots, a warm meal of bacalao (Norwegian stockfish in tomato sauce), and coffee and cake.
• At the camp: a campfire with marshmallows, a lavvo to sit in, reindeer skins or chairs outside while you watch the sky, and stories about the northern lights.
• Not included: dog sledding and any chase.
• Minimum: the tour runs with two people or more.

The price is from $193 a person (checked October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Aurora camps with dinner compares it with the reindeer camps.
