Senja at its most colourful
Our Senja Autumn Adventure – another perfect time to travel to the beautiful part of Norway.
Combined with a night in Tromso you’ll make your way to a location where you will be based for three nights. Here you will embark on your own private boat tour, venture out for a hike in the stunning mountains, and enjoy some of the most spectacular views in Northern Norway.
There is also an exclusive Off the Map Travel experience to head out with your guide on a trip to a secluded beach to snorkel in the crystal clear waters – an activity not easily found in Senja unless you know the hidden spots·
From late August be sure to stay up late in the evenings and keep an eye on the skies in case you might be lucky enough to catch the aurora which starts to reappear after the Spring and Summer month.

Fly into Tromso
Arrival
Arrive at Tromso – a place deemed as the ‘Paris of the North’ for your first night and spend the evening exploring the city. Why not take a short walk out to one of the various stunning viewpoints looking down over the city, and perhaps even catch a sunset before dinner at one of the many amazing restaurants to discover?
Depending on what time you arrive there might be the option of some excursions or boat trips to do too!

You’ll have the morning to explore any other parts of Tromso you might not have had the time to the evening before – perhaps walk over the bridge to the Arctic Cathedral and head up the cable cart to see some of the most incredible views of the city.
In the afternoon you will head to the port where you will catch a boat down to Finnsnes where you will then be collected and transferred to Mefjord Brygge.
Upon arrival take the time to relax and settle into your accommodation and set out on foot to explore Mefjordvær, the small fishing village. Evening at leisure to enjoy dinner with beautiful views.

Hike and Soak
For your final day in Senja we have a very special day planned for you with a unique activity included that is exclusive to Off the Map Travel!
You will be picked up by your private transfer after breakfast and head to Torsken. On arrival you will enjoy an ‘underwater Fjord tour’ in various bays and water inlets giving you the opportunity to snorkel to explore the crystal clear waters. You will see a variety of sea anemones and flowers and get to explore shallow coral reefs home to a host of fish and starfish. You can also head up river to see salmon and visit a larger bay where you may spot seals play beneath the surf! Above the water you are likely to see sea eagles too! Once finished you will enjoy lunch before setting out on a beautiful e-bike tour through the fjords to a secluded beach for a private dinner prepared for you by your private chef.
What an incredible way to end your stay in Senja!
