The 10 Best Safaris in Northern Norway, Northern Norway

July 30, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Home to both the midnight sun (with constant daylight from April to July) and the northern lights, North Norway is a rugged land of steep mountains, deep fjords and scenic coastline, making it a great place for outdoor adventures like dog sledding, snowmobiling and wildlife safaris. It's also the ancient home of the Sami people, 3,000 of whom live (along with 100,000 reindeer) at Kautokeino, Norway's largest municipality at over 3,700 square miles.

Reviewed By shadowks3 - Perth, Australia

We had the most amazing day at Senja Huskys. The sled ride was so fun and such a unique experience. I was driving and you go through amazing countryside. Johnny is very friendly and easy to talk too. He loves his dogs and you can see that in how they interact with him. The dogs are beautiful animals that love cuddles and pats. I had a great time and it was up there with seeing the Aurora for me in senja.
