We started HD Arctic because we know Tromsø better than anyone — and we saw how many visitors were missing the best of it due to complicated logistics and poor planning.
We exist to make that disappear. Every detail, handled by Havellen & Dahl AS.

The Arctic, in detail.
Every experience here is part of how we craft your stay. You won't find checkout buttons — because we don't sell activities alone. We arrange them as part of complete journeys, with accommodation, transfers and timing handled.

Polaria After Hours
An evening alone with Norway's northernmost aquarium.
Through our direct partnership with Polaria, HD Arctic guests can be hosted privately after public closing — the seal tunnel quiet, the panoramic films lit only for you, and a curated experience built around what you want most from it.
This is the only experience on hdarctic.com that exists nowhere else. Bookings are personal, by enquiry.

The Northernmost
Match.
Arctic football at Romssa Arena — home of Tromsø IL, the world's northernmost professional football club. William handles every Match Day booking personally.
Email William directly →Football, 350 km above the Arctic Circle.
Tromsø IL is the world's northernmost professional football club. The atmosphere at Romssa Arena — under floodlights, often under aurora — is one of the most distinctive in European football.
HD Arctic Match Day packages are personally curated by William, who is a TIL supporter himself. Tickets, hotel, transfers, optional pre-match dinner — all coordinated.
The Arctic capital.
Unlike anywhere.
69 degrees north. A city of fjords, mountains and perpetual wonder.
When the sky comes alive
From September to March, Tromsø sits directly under the auroral oval — where the northern lights are at their most active. On dark, clear nights the sky fills with green, pink and purple ribbons of light.
Peak season is November through February, though any winter month offers real chances. Read our full Northern Lights guide →
The months without sunrise
From late November to mid-January, the sun never rises above the horizon. Instead, Tromsø is lit by a long, soft blue twilight — the mørketid — that paints the snow in shades of navy and rose.
It is quieter, stiller, and strangely warm in feeling. Locals will tell you this is when Tromsø is at its most beautiful.
The sun that never sets
From late May to late July, the sun stays above the horizon 24 hours a day. Midnight feels like late afternoon, and the light is golden, endless and alive.
This is when locals sleep at 3am after a fjord walk, when the city hums with energy, and when Tromsø transforms into something most visitors never imagine. Midnight Sun guide →
Autumn colour and quiet beauty
September and October bring red and gold across the mountainsides, cooler fjord air, and some of the best aurora viewing of the year with crisp, dark nights returning.
A quieter, softer Tromsø — before the snow arrives and the city fills with winter.
Closer than you think
Tromsø has its own international airport (TOS) with direct flights from Oslo, and seasonal direct routes from London, Frankfurt, Munich, Amsterdam, Helsinki and more.
Flight time from Oslo is under two hours. The airport is a 10-minute drive from the city centre — and we arrange every transfer. Read more →
A small city with serious food
Tromsø punches far above its weight on the culinary front. From Michelin-recommended fine dining to world-class seafood, cosy bistros and the iconic Mack Brewery — the world's northernmost.
Our concierge team books the right table at the right restaurant for every guest. Nothing guessed. Where to eat →

Making Tromsø unforgettable — and effortless
HD Arctic is the flagship brand of Havellen & Dahl AS — a Tromsø-based concierge and experience company. We started HD Arctic with one simple belief: visiting one of the world's most extraordinary places should be just as extraordinary — not stressful, complicated, or filled with uncertainty.
As locals, we know Tromsø intimately. We know which nights the aurora dances brightest, which experiences are truly worth your time, and how to put it all together seamlessly.
HD Arctic is our answer to the question every traveller asks: "How do I make the most of Tromsø?"
