This is not just a day trip — it's a quiet journey into a place shaped by sea, wind, and tradition. And it's a chance to see that place through the eyes of someone who calls it home. We invite you to Vannøya — an island far out on the edge of the Norwegian Sea, where we grew up. Life here has always been shaped by the ocean and the deep sense of freedom that comes from living between mountain peaks and open sea. We'll travel across the fjord to this island, where dramatic mountains meet the vast ocean. You'll see endless views over fjords and islands, hear waves and seabirds, and feel the raw air that brings a profound sense of freedom and ease. We'll visit a traditional fishing village and share stories of coastal life, hike to viewpoints over the Barents Sea, and end at a white-sand Arctic beach with a simple meal. The day moves at nature's pace. This isn't a checklist of sights. It's a glimpse into island life in the far north — and a day we hope you'll remember.

From No Show to KP4—An Unforgettable Aurora Chase

We had a wonderful experience with Fabien and Vitek. As Vitek smoothly drove us toward Finland, Fabien kept us engaged by explaining the sights along the way. He was incredibly attentive—serving us soup, cookies, and beverages, and constantly keeping an eye out for aurora activity. Although we didn’t see any auroras during the campfire, Fabien remained persistent. On the drive back, he asked us to stop twice, and on the final stop, we were finally rewarded with a beautiful KP4 aurora, with dancing white and pink hues.

Tromsø: Fjord Adventure Tour with Wildlife and Lunch

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.

Amazing experience

It was an incredible experience. First of all, I would like to thank our guide Max for all his energy, dedication, and the knowledge he shared. He made sure we had an amazing experience with everything he did. It was a wonderful tour, and I was very satisfied. I hope to have the chance to join again one day.

Dog Sledding: A Self-Drive Arctic Experience from Tromsø

Emma_H, Mar 2026

Amazing experience.

What an amazing experience!! Firstly, the most important thing with this activity is the dogs. It was stressed to us during the briefing that happy people mean happy dogs, shown how to pet the dogs, how to make sure they were safe etc. When we got to the dog farm, each dog had their own kennel, with space around it and looked well cared for. The briefing was very comprehensive and Anna made sure everyone was clear on what they needed to do. Thermal suits, gloves etc were all available, and once suited up we headed to the dog farm and met our dog team with strict instructions to cuddle and make sure we were comfortable before we headed out. The scenery around Tromso Husky was spectacular and we were soon wizzing along. When we got back to the Husky Farm we spent more time with the dogs before heading back to the base camp, and having hot drinks and soup. As well as being a great experience to do, this trip was so well organised, and ran by lovely people who obviously care a great deal about the dogs.

The original Tromsø city walk with Polar Museum

Debbie_R, Feb 2026

Excellent Walking Tour through Tromso

Really enjoyed the experience. Had to ask a few people to see if we were in the correct building. Google maps placed us outside on a different corner. Our guide Carl, was excellent. We met up and joined people already on the tour as there has been an admin mix up and two groups had started at different places. Carl was very clearly spoken and very knowledgeable. Walked through the town, visited the library, fish tank in the restaurant and ended up at the Polar Museum. Carl guided us through the history in the museum. As we had joined the tour later, Carl continued with us and took us to the new part of town before heading back. We said goodbye to Carl at a local cafe and then made our way back. Very friendly and informative guide, would certainly listen to Carl again should we visit Tromso again.

Sami Culture and Short Reindeer Sledding from Tromso

Karen_M, Feb 2026

It was amazing to see the...

It was amazing to see the reindeer herd in their natural environment. It was great to be able to feed them and wander through the herd. We loved the short reindeer ride and appreciated the woollen blanket. The favourite bit for me was the free hot chocolate and biscuits which were available for the duration of the visit. We enjoyed learning about the Sami culture too.

Reindeer Sledding Experience and Sami Culture Tour from Tromso

Alicia_K, Feb 2026

Reindeer sledding

Reindeer sledding was so much fun. I chose this adventure through Viator because of the length of the sledding experience. It was much longer than any I had seen. We had fun first feeding the reindeer and then being pulled through a beautiful snowy pastureland overlooking a fjord. Afterwards we learned about the Sami people and enjoyed a lunch of reindeer stew. There was a small gift shop on the property with unique items to remember this day by. This is a “must do” experience.

Reindeer Feeding and Sami Culture Including Lunch from Tromso

Anne_K, Feb 2026

Highly recommend!

Well looked after little reindeer herd. Everything organised efficiently. Reindeer are so sweet. Veggies can have veggie soup at lunch if preferred. Good little gift shop. Face cream and lip balm excellent. Sami story time is very interesting with good time set aside for Q&A Would highly recommend.

The Aurora Tour - small group, northern lights

Fangchin_C, Jan 2026

Loved every bit, best guide for Aurora viewing.

I can’t say enough good thing about our trip. Marcin our guide is so attentive. We go hot drinks food, food and bonfire to keep us warm. We declined extra clothing but it was prepared for us if we need it. We saw so many auroras and he took beautiful photos of our group. We enjoyed every minutes of our trip. I highly recommend his services. The forest, mountains landscape highlighted by the dancing auroras simmering in the sky and behind the mountains. I felt spiritually connected and my mouth was agasp, in awe at its wonder. The ice crystals covered the branches and trees were beautiful reflecting the dim lights. The skies were covered by multitudes of stars. Words cannot do justice to this nature’s wonder. This place feels so magical.

Tromsø Whale & Orca Safari – All-Inclusive (Max 50 pax)

Christy_K, Dec 2025

MAGICAL Norwegian journey

This is one of the most magical experiences I have ever had! We lucked out with perfect weather for winter in Norway. Clear skies for the limited daylight we had and it was gorgeous. The boat ride out to the bay was surrounded by snowcapped mountains and the crew provided great information about the journey and the whales. Once to the spot, it was nonstop wildlife. A few people saw a mink whale! But everyone saw plenty of humpbacks and orcas. We spent plenty of time at the location and everyone was having an amazing time. On the ride back, they served delicious soup and we had snacks and beverages the entire time. On the journey back, we even got to see the northern lights, which was just a cherry on top of an already perfect day. My group LOVED this tour and I would do it again. If you are having doubts, throw them away and book this!!!

Summer Fjord Road Trip with Citizen Science with Wandering Owl

kenlisaalbin, Sept 2025

A Very Special Day in Tromoso!

Our guide Roman was a real gem! He was informative on so many levels! We learned so much in a short time about the Northern Lights because he actually chases them! He too is to a few special Fords on our trip as well as the Local beach! We enjoyed so much the healthy sandwiches and amazing homemade oatmeal cookies that were outstanding! He also took professional fotos for anyone who desired! I highly recommend this tour!
