🌟 Bucketlist Guide – Private Arctic Experience
Your dream Arctic adventure, tailored 100% to you.
If you’ve dreamed of visiting Tromsø — the Gateway to the Arctic — this is your chance to make every moment count. Bucketlist Guide is a completely private and fully customized experience for small groups (1–4 people), designed around your wishes, interests, pace, and imagination. Whether you’re here for one day or a whole week, I’ll help you make the most of it — stress-free, flexible, and unforgettable.
🧭 How It Works
Before you even land in Tromsø, we’ll have a detailed chat about your interests, priorities, and dreams. Based on this, I’ll create a suggested itinerary that we fine-tune together — so the final experience is truly yours.
This is not a rigid package or a “follow-the-guide” group tour. It’s a collaborative adventure where your wishes shape the journey. And because Arctic weather can be unpredictable, I’ll always prepare backup plans so we can make the most of every day, no matter the conditions.
🍽️ Food & meals
Meals are generally not included in the Bucketlist Guide experience. We will, however, make time for café or lunch breaks during the day — but the cost of meals and drinks must be covered by you.
For those who wish, we can arrange simple outdoor meals such as grilling sausages or fish burgers over an open fire as part of a nature experience — a popular choice on longer excursions. These small culinary moments are always optional and can be added to your tailored plan.
🗺️ What We Can Do Together
The possibilities are many — here are just a few examples:
🌆 Explore Tromsø city and surroundings — from local museums and art galleries to hidden historical sites and WWII memorials.
🌲 Arctic nature hikes & snowshoe tours — tailored to your fitness level and interests.
🔥 Campfire moments & storytelling — enjoy hot drinks outdoors under the northern sky.
🐻❄️ Road trips & scenic drives — such as a full-day trip to Polar Park, Arctic Wildlife Centre in Bardu.
🏔️ Seasonal adventures — berry-picking in autumn, forest walks, or snowy fun with sleds, snowmen, and snow forts.
🏃♂️ Active experiences — such as guided runs with training tips, cross-country skiing lessons, or physiotherapy add-ons.
📸 Photo memories — I’ll capture the moments so you can focus on the experience.
🍲 Optional dinner with a local family — enjoy traditional Norwegian food in a cozy home setting.
🧊 Please note: High-cost activities such as snowmobiling, dog sledding, drysuit floating, or reindeer tours are not part of this package. If these are on your wish list, I can help you plan around them or recommend trusted partners — but they are not included in the standard offer.
🌌 Optional Add-Ons
Northern Lights Chase: If seeing the aurora is your dream, we can plan an evening outing — from a short local trip to a full-night chase, depending on weather and conditions. This activity may extend beyond standard hours and could require an additional fee.
Night Adventures: Want to snowshoe under the stars or visit a remote, silent spot in the wilderness? Night tours can be added and priced individually depending on length and location.
