Three-Day Arctic Camp with Summer Kayaking

This tour is operated by Elements Arctic Camp.

Experience the spectacular Arctic archipelago from our camp on the island of Rebbenesøya, north of Tromsø. The camp is located near the Nordkvaløya–Rebbenesøya Protected Landscape Area and several nature reserves.

The camp consists of two yurts, each with four beds arranged as two double bunk beds. It has no road access or mains electricity, and water is collected from a nearby stream. The boathouse at the camp is equipped with a biological toilet.

This is a place to experience peace, silence, changing weather and the unique character of the Arctic summer. From mid-May until mid-July, the golden light of the Midnight Sun shines throughout the night.

You and your travel companions will stay in your own yurt, paddle through magnificent Arctic coastal scenery, enjoy locally sourced food and experience Arctic wildlife and coastal culture up close.

We paddle through crystal-clear waters around islets, skerries and beautiful islands. During the trip, it is common to spot white-tailed eagles, otters, seals and a variety of seabirds.

We will pick you up in Tromsø city centre or at a nearby location by arrangement. The journey to the camp is an experience in itself, with a scenic 90-minute drive, a 10-minute ferry crossing to Rebbenesøya and a 15-minute walk to the camp.

We plan a kayaking trip each day directly from the camp, including one full-day excursion where we prepare lunch over a campfire. If we are lucky, lunch may include freshly caught fish or hand-picked shellfish.

All meals are prepared and enjoyed together, either in a yurt or around the campfire.

As an alternative to kayaking, or if weather conditions are unsuitable, we can explore the island by car and/or go hiking, where you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views from one of the island’s beautiful mountains.

The trip is suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers. Please specify your level of kayaking experience when booking. We also require your height and weight, so the correct equipment can be prepared for you.

Please contact us directly if you are travelling as a family or in a group of more than four people.

We look forward to welcoming you to Elements Arctic Camp and sharing a memorable Arctic experience with you.
