A multi-day package by Basecamp Senja organized exclusively for Christmas from December 22–26 (5 days, 4 nights). Priced per person for groups of 2–10 people, ages 12 and up. On Day 1, board a large whale-watching vessel with a heated cabin departing central Tromsø around 08:00 toward Skjervøy, where humpback and killer whales have gathered to feed on herring in recent years. Returning to the city by 17:00, take an approximate 3-hour taxi transfer to Skaland village on Senja island to check in at Posthuset Expedition Lodge or Bedehuset with a warm dinner served.

On December 25, visit the husky farm at Ottemoen home to around 35 dogs for an approximately 3-hour snow sledding experience. On the final day, depart at 09:30 to board the Hurtigruten or Havila from Finnsnes at 11:30, arriving in Tromsø at 14:15.
