What are people saying about Tromso

Melissa_L, Aug 2026

Amazing and fun!

Our guide Fabian was great!! He was super friendly and had great knowledge of the areas he took us to. The van "Delilah" was super clean and comfortable and we were well taken care of. We saw all of the sights that were listed and there were some fun elements that were not expected on the beach! He even found the elusive Reindeer that we never thought we'd see due to the timing. I never thought we'd be on in the Artic Caribbean with the most amazing clear water with the sweetest Jellyfish ever made. Beautiful scenery and plenty of opportunities to take pictures. Those are memories I'll have forever and I'm grateful. I hope to come back one day to explore more of these adventures. Thank you!

Relaxed but spectacular tour of the islands

Lovely few hours spent around the area, opportunities for walking a bit to get better viewpoints or see interesting features. Beautiful views of the fjords. Spotted some reindeer too! Lunch was nice, on the beach in Sommeroy. We would recommend this to friends

We had an amazing day on...

We had an amazing day on this trip, and our guide Gerardo was truly the highlight. He was very caring and attentive, making sure everyone of us felt included and taken care of. His attitude was so positive, with great energy throughout the tour. The itinerary was also extremely well planned. Gerardo showed excellent time management and a lot of wisdom in planning, arriving at each destination earlier than other same-day groups, which made the experience even smoother and more enjoyable. Highly recommend—great guide, great organization, and a wonderful trip overall! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tromso Aurora Hunt with Bonfire, Meal, Winter Suit & Photos

Angela_L, Apr 2026

Night under the Aurora

From pick up to drop off; the Wandering Owl team was amazing. The night was so well organised and our guide and driver were excellent. We made a couple of stops along the way to experience the beautiful Fiordland before making our final stop to set up camp. The thermal suits and boots were great and after our meal of soup, as we sat around the campfire, we were treated to an amazing Aurora display!!! As we were in our way home, Michael our driver stopped again when he noticed it had appeared again; it was even brighter and more beautiful then!! An amazing once in a lifetime experience for our family. Takk!!

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.

Truly captivating!

Well what can I say! Exceeded my expectations - especially as it was a cloudy day but please don’t let that put you off, as Max - our incredibly passionate and knowledgable guide - knew of a fantastic location where the skies were clear! He knew his stuff! We were in awe of what we saw…truly an incredible experience.

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.

Sami Culture and Short Reindeer Sledding from Tromso

Diana_C, Feb 2026

Beautiful experience

This was a once in a lifetime experience for my partner and I. The reindeers are free to roam and come to you whenever they want to eat from the bucket of food provided. The scenery is beautiful and the short sledding was memorable. The storytelling was wonderful and we were happy to hear that we are promoting the Sami culture. The reindeer stew was really delicious.

Dog Sledding: A Self-Drive Arctic Experience from Tromsø

Niki_M, Feb 2026

Our favourite activity whilst visiting Tromsø!

Best birthday ever! Such a fun day! The welcome and instruction briefing was great, not too serious (the Norwegians have a fabulous sense of humour) but got the important information across. Once you are suited and booted, its a short trip over to where the dogs are waiting. You can tell they enjoy what they do - they were all super eager to get going! The ride itself was amazing - stunning views, interesting course (you do have to help the dogs out a few times with some hills!) and you swap between being the driver and the passenger a few times throughout. After the ride you get to spend time with all the dogs - most were super soft and lapped up the attention (there were one or two more introverted dogs who were happy to run but not overly fussed about having attention afterwards) NOTE: if you plan on giving lots of attention to the dogs, borrow some gloves from the host - they are outdoor dogs and have the typical outdoor dog smell, which my gloves then smelt of for the rest of my trip haha Topped off with some super tasty soup and bread to warm up again - we had seconds it was that good! Would 100% do again!

Nephi_J, Feb 2026

No lights but a great trip anyway

Max was fantastic!! He was enthusiastic, positive and helpful with people who especially needed help with the terrain. It wasn’t just about the lights. He had much more to offer!! We had a little fire with reindeer sausage, drinks and even a treat. We were out from 5:30 pm to 2am! Mother nature prevented us from seeing the lights but it did not seem like wasted time.

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!
