Midnight Sun / Sunset Cruise
This tour is operated by Brim Explorer. Embark on a midnight sun tour from Tromsø through beautiful landscapes to see the open ocean under the enchanting arctic midnight sun or sunset.
As the sun is slowly dipping towards the horizon, we set sail for the outer coast of Norway where we have an unobstructed view of the ocean and horizon. From here, only the Barents Sea separates us from Svalbard and the north pole.
Depending on the day we can take the ‘south’ or ‘northern’ route along Kvaløya coastline with sporadically dotted by villages and idyllic boathouses and fish drying racks.
While we take in the midnight sun/sunset, we keep an eye out for birdlife that is particularly active and lively in the summer months. One particular bird that can sometimes be observes are puffins, that nest on a few remote islands along the Norwegian coast between May and August.
Throughout the evening, our passionate guides will share stories and insights about life in the arctic during the months with so much daylight, the landscape and other interesting sites along the way.
