Half Day Package at Camp Tamok – Midday Departure – Incl. Transport
For anyone who fancies a slow morning in the city, you can join our midday departure to Camp Tamok and spend the whole afternoon and evening combining two activities of your choice.
Your half-day adventure will begin with a 1,5-hour bus ride from Tromsø to the remote Tamok valley. Upon arrival at the camp, you can freshen up and get geared up in the warm winter clothes and boots we provide, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable throughout your stay at the camp. Our camp host will inform you about the afternoon’s program.
Midday Activity
Depending on your choice of activity (upon booking) you will head out on an adventurous dog sledding or snowmobiling tour followed by the time to relax and warm up with a hot meal in one of our lavvus (indigenous Sámi tent).
After the midday activity, most people will return to Tromsø by bus. Since you have chosen to stay a full day at the camp (combining a midday activity and evening activity), we have made it possible for you to stay at Camp Tamok in between activities.
Camp Stay
During this time, you will have the chance to explore Camp Tamok by yourself. Explore the beautiful surroundings, spend time at the dog yard, relax by the campfire inside the lavvu (read a book, play a game or socialize with others) or gather around the campfire outside.
Evening Activity
Depending on your choice of activity (upon booking), you will head out on a snowmobiling - or reindeer sledding tour, or join the northern lights visit. After your evening activity, you will return to the camp, where a warm meal awaits in one of our lavvus (indigenous Sámi tent).
Once again, with food and drinks served, gathered around the open fire, you will get the chance to relax and share stories of your latest adventures.
After dinner, it is time to board the bus and return to Tromsø, taking with you great memories of your day in the Arctic wilderness!

Good to know
Please read the descriptions of each tour for more specific practical information before booking the package: availability, what is included in each tour, restrictions and minimum age for children.
- Advanced Dog Sledding Midday:
- Our guides are entitled to deny drivers and passengers to join this tour out of health and safety reason.
- The tour requires strength and fitness from all our guests, and a good physical condition is necessary to participate. Some parts of the trail can be covered with a fresh layer of snow or go uphill which means in both cases you will have to help the dogs to push the sled.
- The trail can be narrow and have sharp bends, which requires a good balance to steer the sled.
- Since you will be sharing the sled with another person it is required for both of you to meet these requirements when swapping places halfway the tour.
- Snowmobiling Midday / Evening:
- Due to the dramatic topography, a reduced speed is maintained during some parts of the tour.
- The duration of the snowmobiling activity (the time you will spend on the tracks, driving the snowmobile) can differ day to day, depending on snow and weather conditions.
- Insurance/liability info: Self liability can be reduced to 1000 NOK by paying waiver supplement of 300 NOK per driver.
