This experience, in a nutshell

Would You like to spend New Years Eve in a magical place surrounded by nature, looking for whales and Aurora Borealis? You can come with us to have a great time on board, relax and use the opportunity to set sails!


10 days of non-hurry sailing


From Tromso we head towards Skiervoy, place famous for whale watching where they hunt for food in the wintertime. Usually, in November, pods of whales come to the Lyngen area and stay until the beginning of January. It’s worth being here at this time of year to take your own photo with your camera.


Aurora shows are best viewed from secluded places – e.g. from the deck of a yacht – from the sea – without additional light around us. If the weather is not favorable, we can rent a car and start hunting for the Aurora! We will also show you the nice sandy bays in area, lovely small harbors in the bays from where you can approach to the glacier. We have a lot of time!


At this time of year we certainly won’t be climbing the highest peaks. Those about 800 m above sea level are within our reach.
