Two seasons, two ways to live the Far North.
Eight days in Troms, on the island of Dyrøya across from Senja, as a small private group: a couple, a family, or two couples of friends, with or without children. Choose your season: the snow and cold of winter, or the light from spring to autumn.
No stopwatch excursions like the big operators in Tromsø: with us, we take our time and your holiday evolves as the days go by.
Choose your season
Winter stay
Late January to late April. Snow, cold and winter sports: snowshoeing, cross-country and ski touring, winter fjord and ice fishing, northern lights.
Discover the winter stay →
Spring to autumn
Midnight sun, migrating birds, two-day hike, packrafting, organic garden, swimming and berry picking.
Discover the summer stay →Got ideas? Tell us.
Our flagship is the family & friends week. But every week is built with you: we are flexible and we love it when you come with ideas. Tell us what you enjoy, we imagine the rest.
Another example: a week for snorkelling fans can still include two days on Senja, a visit to the reindeer herders and a packrafting trip. Anything is possible depending on availability and the weather.

Whatever the season, every 8-day stay is built on the same foundation, designed for your private group:
Four high-end dinners, organic and local
Our four high-end dinners are cooked by us with organic, local produce: reindeer and moose, fresh fish such as cod or saithe, salmon, wild berries.
In summer Sandvika, our organic garden, gives more than ten varieties of strawberries, rhubarb, redcurrants, blackcurrants, raspberries, salads, cabbages and herbs, and our Icelandic “Viking” chickens provide fresh eggs.
Danish-born Dorthe also prepares generous gourmet platters from her home country, including the famous smørbrød, beautifully topped rye-bread open sandwiches.
Here, children feel at home
We live here with our own little girl: families with young children, even toddlers, are at the heart of Tundra Camp. Everything is ready so they enjoy it as much as the grown-ups.
- In winter: a pulk sled to pull the children on outings, small skis, sledges and lots of snow games.
- In summer: the vegetable garden, a trampoline, a small zip line, the beach and berry picking.
- All year: toys and equipment for toddlers at the house, and a pace adapted to every age.
A place to come together
We can welcome a couple, a family, or two couples travelling with children. There are three bedrooms: two double rooms and one children’s room with three beds. The arrangement accommodates up to four adults and three children.
The house is less than 100 metres from the fjord, surrounded by 21 hectares of nature: rocks, a small cliff, birch forest, a peatland and 300 metres of shoreline for fishing and swimming when the weather is fine.
Your stay is private and the programme adapts to the children’s ages, even very young ones: we live here with our own daughter and know what the Far North asks of little ones.
Optional extras
Your memories in professional photos
A photo story of your stay
Matthieu Ever, professional photographer, photographs you during your activities and then delivers high-quality, retouched files: real family memories, far beyond phone snapshots.

They travelled with us
“Choose Tundra Camp. You won’t get to experience stuff like this anywhere else around Tromsø.”
“Matthieu and Dorthe ensured we did what we wanted while also pushing us occasionally out of our comfort zone, which was very rewarding!”
“Just perfect! This was the first time we opted for this type of “private” trip with a guide and we should have done it sooner!”
“Matthieu is a very genuine, knowledgeable, open and generous guide.”
“Tundra Camp is a unique place with the friendliest people who will take care of you and give you that once in a life time experience.”
“All snow gear was provided and of much higher quality than usual tourist gear.”

Plan your staySnorkelling, spearfishing and wildlife photography
Two new ways to experience the Far North, as an add-on to your stay or as a trip of their own.
Snorkelling and spearfishing
Snorkelling and spearfishing trips in the clear waters of the Arctic fjords. Tundra Camp organises the outing by zodiac or boat and comes with you; please bring your own diving gear.
Wildlife photography stays
Stays designed around nature photography with wildlife photographer Matthieu Ever: hides, Arctic light, reindeer, seabirds and northern lights.
Getting to Dyrøy
Via Bardufoss Airport
This is the nearest airport. Tundra Camp picks you up at Bardufoss Airport and takes you back at the end of your stay: about 50 km, a 50-minute drive to the house.
From Tromsø by boat
Svipper’s express boat (route 2 Tromsø – Finnsnes – Harstad) leaves from Prostneset quay in Tromsø and stops at Brøstadbotn, right next to us, in about 2 hours. Brøstadbotn is an on-request stop: book it in advance at svipper.no or on +47 777 88 777.
From Tromsø by bus
Svipper buses run from Tromsø to Bardufoss, where we pick you up. Check timetables at svipper.no.
With the “Tromsø visit” option
If you choose the Tromsø visit with us, we can arrange your transport for the outward or return journey. This involves extra costs: contact us for a quote.
Frequently asked questions
Is the stay suitable for young children?
Yes. Days are adapted to everyone’s age and we live here with a little girl ourselves. Activities are chosen so that young and old can enjoy them.
Are the northern lights and wildlife guaranteed?
No. The aurora can be seen from late August to mid-April when the sky is clear, and wild animals cannot be ordered. We give you the best chances, without promises.
Do I need to bring equipment?
The equipment needed for the activities is provided. Bring good warm clothes: we send you a packing list before you travel.
What is the best season?
Every season has its charm: winter for snow, snowshoeing and the aurora; spring and summer for the midnight sun, fishing and the garden; autumn for colours and the return of dark nights.
