Oslo, Trondheim

Highlights

  • Spend three nights in the long-adored Lofoten Islands, a patchwork of fishing villages. Head out to the narrow Trollfjord for a chance to see sea eagles and take in some of the most breathtaking scenery.
  • Visit Trondheim, which translates as 'a good place to live', stroll past the colourful wooden storehouses flanking the river, ride the northernmost tram and enjoy a forest walk and picnic just like the locals do.
  • Gaze at the immense Nidaros Cathedral, an incredible Gothic building that houses the remains of St Olav, the patron saint of Norway.
  • Hop on an e-bike in Tromso, and learn about life hundreds of kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, where the arts and culture scene is thriving despite its isolated, northerly location.
  • Be joined by a locally-based leader who knows all of the hard-to-find spots and can offer the best local advice and connect with your small group of like-minded travellers.

What travelers are saying

"I went on the Intrepid 15 day "Best of Morocco" tour in 2025 and had such an amazing time that I wasn't ready to leave by the time the trip finished! It exceeded my expectations in so many ways: value for money, itinerary, a lot of included activities balanced with lots of rest stops on longer travel days, very caring & attentive local guides, and lots of optional activities. As a company, Intrepid was very easy to communicate with before the trip started (I had sent a few questions about optional activities). The website is also easy to navigate and simple for updating travel & health information. If you are considering doing a tour with Intrepid - make sure you read the Essential Trip Information they have on each tour page. It describes everything in detail so you'll know what to expect. While I LOVED my tour, I can see some people signing up for this without reading the description and then being surprised at some of the 2 star hotels (in this case it was the "Original" tour style). Overall, I am impressed at how this tour managed to simultaneously get us closer to Moroccan culture AND feel like an adventure AND feel like a vacation from day-to-day life back home. I would travel with Intrepid again."

Highlights

  • Spend some time in Greenland’s breathtaking natural landscape on a glacier hike over two full days traversing the wild landscape, spending a night in a remote eco-lodge. Then, take a spectacular ferry ride through ice floes and icebergs (nicknamed the most beautiful boat ride in the world!).
  • Explore Greenland away from the tourist track of polar cruise ships and contribute to the sustainable tourism of a country seldom explored on foot.
  • Experience the midnight sun – this trip will only operate during Greenland’s summer, which means the sun never really sets! Make the most of this eerie phenomenon with optional sea kayaking, boat cruise or sailing adventures.
  • Learn about Greenlandic culture and mythology during a storytelling experience with a local and a kaffemik experience, where you’ll step into a local’s home to learn why coffee and cake is such an important practice.
  • Visit small settlements, seldom explored by curious travellers, and head to Disko Island – ‘like all of Greenland encapsulated in one island’ – to soak up the raw landscape of a land surrounded by ice.

Helsinki

Highlights

  • Be pulled across the snowy landscape at high speed on the back of a dogsled. The incredible huskies are doing what they love most – making a lot of noise before darting along the trails.
  • Visit a traditional Sami family and let them guide you through their daily life and show you around a lavvu (a traditional tent).
  • Snowshoe to a secluded spot to see the Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights is the best lightshow on Earth and this trip is your ticket to watch it (subject to weather conditions).
  • Travel on the famous 'Santa Claus Express' overnight train all the way from Helsinki through the frozen Northern wilderness to Rovaniemi.
  • Enjoy lots of free time to explore northern Finland as you wish – this might include skiing, ice fishing or visiting the UNESCO World Heritage site Suomenlinna Sea Fortress – it's up to you!
