Trip Highlights
Enjoy a family trip through Norway and Iceland, where vibrant landscapes, scenic fjords, and soothing geothermal lagoons together offer a memorable experience for all ages.
Spend a day like Sami people with reindeer sledging in Tromso, where you can connect with the reindeer and gain a deeper understanding of Arctic culture and traditions.
Experience Norway’s most iconic journey from Bergen to Oslo, combining fjord cruises, mountain passes, and the world-famous Flåm Railway in one unforgettable trip.
Dive into the Arctic night and follow local guides to handpicked spots, where, if conditions align, you'll enjoy aurora borealis dancing overhead in bright, photogenic ribbons.
Marvel at Gullfoss, the ‘Golden Falls,’ where glacial waters roar down in twin cascades, creating rainbows in the mist and one of Iceland’s most amazing sights.
Know Before You Go
- Always carry a valid photo ID, such as your passport or a clear photocopy of it, during the trip. It may be required for hotel check-ins, flights, certain tours, or in case authorities request identification.
- Noise levels are generally low in Nordic countries, and guests are expected to maintain a peaceful environment, especially during night hours when locals value quiet time.
- If you are staying in smaller towns or rural regions, please be aware that services may close earlier than you are used to, and planning your meals and essentials ahead of time is recommended.
- Weather in both Iceland and Norway is highly unpredictable; you may experience sunshine, rain, wind, and even snow within the same day, so pack layered clothing, waterproof jackets, and sturdy shoes.
- Daylight hours vary dramatically with the seasons—summer brings long, bright days with almost no night, while winter offers very short daylight, so plan activities accordingly.
- Northern Lights are a natural wonder and cannot be guaranteed, but your chances improve when skies are clear and you are away from city lights.
- Both countries value sustainability, so travelers are encouraged to recycle, carry reusable water bottles, and avoid littering in natural areas.
- Credit cards are widely accepted in most places, even for small payments, but carrying a little local currency may be helpful in remote areas or for public facilities.
- Respect local culture by keeping noise levels low in public transport and communal areas; Norwegians and Icelanders value privacy and quietness in daily life.
- Wildlife encounters, such as seals, whales, puffins, or reindeer, should always be enjoyed from a respectful distance, as disturbing animals is both unsafe and against local guidelines.
