WHAT IS A BLUE DAY WILDLIFE OR FJORD EXCURSION ?
Here in Tromsø we are blessed with light like no where else in the world , cased by a natural phenomenon .
In summer the sun does not set below the horizon from the 19th of may to the 27th of July known as the midnight sun.
Where as in winter we have days when the sun does not rise above the horizon from 28th of November to the 15th of January known as a blue day .
From March until late August the sun produces a light so intense that it draws photographers from far and wide to capture the stunning beauty of of spectacular landscapes her in northern Northern Norway.
And from mid august to late march we a blessed with the aurora borealis also known as the norther lights.
All the above attract sight seeing tourists and photographers alike to view and photograph this natural light all year round.
On a blue day the colour blue is overwhelming and its changes the outlook of all the landscapes that we will visit.
I assure you that you will be awe struck and you will love the gorgeous blue hue that surrounds our beautiful Fjords and Landscapes .
