* Hop-on/hop-off stops:

Guests will hop off the bus and stay at this location. Our hop-off stops always have activities, accommodation, and eating facilities. The next day, they can hop on the bus again to continue their journey in the same or opposite direction.

* Photo Stop:

We don’t want a good memory-creating place to be passed by. Our photo stops take between 15 to 25 minutes, so guests have time to take photos, stretch their legs, and breathe the Arctic! After this, hop on the same bus to continue your journey.

* Activity Stops:

Our Activity Stops take around 1 hour, so guests can visit a place, without having to book an overnight. These activity stops are ideal for food breaks, buying souvenirs, or visiting a village, a beach, or a fjord. And after that, the guests continue their journey on the same bus.
