The Arctic, at your own pace.
Private nature holidays for families, couples and friends, plus bivouac & trek tent-based trips for those who love a challenge. Fjords, mountains, snow and northern lights, right across from the island of Senja in Troms.
Make room for wonder.
From our home on the island of Dyrøya, less than 100 metres from the fjord and surrounded by 21 hectares of nature, we shape a journey with space for the unexpected: light falling across a fjord, a snowshoe walk, meeting a reindeer herder, a shared meal. No stopwatch tours like the big operators in Tromsø: we take our time, you choose your holiday and it evolves as the days go by.

Gentle or self-supported.
Family & friends week
Our flagship stay: 8 days as a private group, with or without children. A different activity every day, two days on the island of Senja, four organic high-standard dinners and good snacks for every outing.

Bivouac & trek (tent-based trips)
For those who love effort: long hikes, river crossings, carrying our packs and sleeping in tents in the Hjerttind valleys, in Øvre Dividal, at Altevatn or in Sarek National Park.

Here, children feel at home.
We live here with our own little girl: families with young children are at the heart of Tundra Camp. In winter, a pulk sled to pull the children, small skis and sledges; in summer, the vegetable garden, a trampoline and a small zip line; all year, toys and equipment for toddlers.

We are a small family team: Matthieu, guide and wildlife photographer, and Dorthe, with our daughter Elva. No subcontractors and no timed programme: we welcome you, guide you and cook for you ourselves, with organic and local produce. Wildlife and the northern lights cannot be promised; seeing them is a gift.
About us
Snorkelling, spearfishing and wildlife photography.

Landscapes, stays and Arctic wildlife.
Sandvika garden.
In summer our organic garden gives more than ten varieties of strawberries, rhubarb, redcurrants, blackcurrants, raspberries, salads, cabbages and herbs, and our Icelandic “Viking” chickens lay every day. Our four high-end dinners are cooked by us with organic, local produce: reindeer, moose, cod, saithe or salmon.

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.”
