What are people saying about Tromso

Jennifer_L, Jun 2026

A Highlight of Our Cruise — Highly Recommend

Our Viking Ocean cruise stopped in Tromsø, and since the excursions we wanted were sold out, another couple traveling with us and we booked this tour instead. We were so glad we did—it turned into our own private tour! Our guide, Fede, was fantastic. He was engaging, funny, and full of interesting stories and local knowledge as he took us around the surrounding islands. Along the way we saw beautiful mountains, fjords, lakes, wildflowers, reindeer, flocks of baby geese, and even troll villages. We learned so much about the area while taking in the scenery. This was one of the highlights of our cruise, and we highly recommend this tour—and Fede—to anyone visiting Tromsø.

Tromsø: Fjord Adventure Tour with Wildlife and Lunch

Long_D, Apr 2026

It was a bad weather day...

It was a bad weather day for us, which had slight rain, and was very windy and cold. We could not see any wildlife. However, we really enjoyed the breathtaking view of the lakes and seashore from the trip. The wood cabin with strange toilets by the beach was a brand new experience, that we would need to tell our friends. Abdi was a very good guide, he really loved taking pictures. He took a lot of great photos for us. He lead us to nice spots without many people. We had so many photo oppoturnities thanks to him, which was exactly what my wife expected.

Our tour(not this one)...

Our tour(not this one) cancelled in last minute because they expect no northern lights. And i found this in the last minute. They show us very cool scientific data before and they tried, and they worked hard to get us to the lights. And they got it! Very thankful!

Tromsø: Northern Lights Adventure with Expert Guides and Photos

Janet_F, Mar 2026

Dedicated tour guides

There was a snow storm in Tromso so we headed north to get out of it. The guides let us know that we might have to go as far as Finland to see them, but their goal was not too keep us out too late. We ended up going to Finland as the snow didn’t stop in Norway! It was worth it; the skies opened up for us and the time was of no consequence.

Northern Lights Tour from Tromsø

Samuel_G, Mar 2026

Incredible Experience - Highly Recommend this company (and Harry as your guide)

Absolutely fantastic. It didn't hurt that we had amazing viewing of the northern lights, but Harry, our guide was incredible- super knowledgeable, palpable excitement about the hunt and what we were seeing, walked us through the science of the lights and his process for predicting where to go see them. There were 12 of us in a van for 15 (17 including driver and guide), but we did not feel cramped and it was easy to get in and out. The reindeer sausage, cookies, tea and cocoa were all tasty and appreciated. We experienced some incredible lights and Harry was constantly at the ready to take pro photos of the experience (sent to us that night) so we could concentrate on enjoying the lights rather than fiddling with our cameras. Our tour was listed as 6-8 hours - many others listed were as 6 hour or 6-7 hours. I mention this because a noteworthy moment was close to the six hour mark Harry decided to change locations as our then location was starting to get some clouds - it would have been easy to coast to the six hour point and call it a night, but instead Harry stated we should try another location about 30 minutes away - where we arrived just in time for an incredible "substorm" that floored us all. In my mind it really spoke to their dedication to showing you an incredible experience - no clock watching or cutting corners. Also afterwards everyone was dropped off at their hotels, not just the city center or meeting spot. Simply every element was well done and provided for a great time. Highly recommend!!!!

Tromsø Fjords Tour of Kvaloya and Sommaroy

TUHIN_M, Feb 2026

Nice and comfortable tour with helpful coordinators!

It’s a value for money trip, drive through most scenic places e.g. fijords, valley and Sommeroy including perfect spots to stopover to take wonderful photos. Our guide Velentina and Martin was super knowledgeable and helpful. It’s a perfect tour to do with family specially if you have small kids.

Tromso Skjervoy Whale Watching on RIB Boat

Victoria_L, Jan 2026

Excellent company

Absolutely mesmerising and a fantastic but freezing freezing cold trip on the rib. Def not suitable for any children my personal opinion. Very hard going so for adults only. Very well organised and very friendly. Ensured that we got to see the orcas and if they weren’t around connecting boats liaise with each other so everyone doesn’t miss out. A great trip all round.

Excellent way to see the Fjords

Fantastic experience! Legendary Adventure group has excellent and accommodating tour guides, luxury Mercedes vans with good drivers, and an overall experience that feels very personalized. This Fjords tour was exceptional. Adrian was knowledgable and engaging and it made you feel like you were visiting a friend who was showing you around their country. Will book with them again on my next visit.

OZ Travellers...from the bottom to the top of the world...GOOD SHOW

Petra and our driver went out of their way to collect us form our accomodation after confusion at the pickup point. Her expertise in photographic catching of lights was perfect...got GREAT shots. Reindeer soup, Thai curry & marshmellows at the firepit were good. Arctic suits/boots were warm & compared to other operators the price was RIGHT. Worth the money, well done...Annette & Curtis

Tromsø: Midnight Sun Hike with Wandering Owl

Olga_D, Jun 2025

A unique experience, breathtaking views, and a great guide

I booked last minute, to catch a good weather window when it cleared up suddenly in the evening. Our guide, Evgeni, is a great guy, very easy to talk to and well traveled. He made sure the hike was comfortable, informative, and rewarding. The hike we did was by no means too strenuous, but not too easy either. We got a fantastic view of two fjords, a mountain valley, and surrounding mountains from the top, and it was beautiful all the way through. Tbe snack was tasty and the drinks were hot, which was great because it got pretty cold, so be prepared. I had 4 layers, hat, gloves, good socks and boots, and it was still chilly (no more than 5 degrees, probably, if not less). The highlight of my trip to tromso, for sure. Would highly recommend and would do it again myself!
