Most travelers can participate
We run the tour even in rainy/snowy days. This is because the weather can change a lot in micro-climates between the fjords and mountains, providing us sometimes stunning views.
Bring warm clothes, even in summer.
It can be slippery on the places where we stop.

The guide may choose an alternative itinerary to the one presented in the description of the tour. This can happen due to road closures, avalanches, weather. We have designed alternative routes to accomplish the Fjord tour through Kvaløya regardless.
This tour requires a minimum of 4 people. If we do not reach the minimum amount of people, we will team up with one of our partners that runs a similar tour. In case we still do not get a minimum of 4 people, or we decide to cancel due to bad weather, you will be offered to change your tour to another day or get a refund.
The supplier will own full copyrights of any photo taken by us during our tours. They will upload photos of you to a third party web platform and monetize on the photos. They may also publish video footages of you. If you do not wish any photo of you to be published nor taken, please inform the provider, as well as your guide, before the tour and do not pose for the photographers.
You cannot claim a refund related to any issues with the vehicle used in the activities, as this is a service provided by a 3rd party company. Claims need to be addressed directly to the transport company.
Temperatures perceived inside or outside the vehicle may be higher or lower when compared to normal standards - due to multi-stop configuration.
Visibility from inside the vehicle may vary depending on seating position and weather, which can affect window conditions (including fogging or rain). These factors are beyond the operator’s control and do not qualify for a complaint or a refund. Scenic stops are scheduled to allow guests to exit the vehicle and view designated viewpoints.

Norway has got many beautiful “faces”,our idea about the country and fiords has totally changed after this tour.There are beaches all over the coast from Tromso,and all these islands look like post cards,no filters or photoshop is needed. Our guide was very reliable and helpful,he was a super safe driver ( and it’s very important :),he knew all the best spots for the stops and pictures.And yes,the fish soup with cod was delicious!

Not synced, so trip missed

Jill_C, Mar 2026

So disappointed. Changed date with Viator- which they confirmed and issued new voucher for - only to find it hadn’t synced to pick up location so couldn’t join the tour. Then got contacted to ask whether I was coming for the original date that I had changed. So we missed a much anticipated trip altogether.

Feel a bit ripped off

Holly_P, Feb 2026

This tour was just okay over all. Very pretty sights and comfy transportation. However, I do feel a bit ripped off. The description mentions twice “ Plus, stay warm with a hot drink and meal.” it doesn’t say that the meal is an additional cost. It’s 25usd for a pretty small bowl of soup. I think it’s fair to assume that everything in the description is included. It also claims there is a professional photographer. I can’t quite agree with that discription. There’s someone with a nice camera you pay to take photos, but the quality wasn’t any higher than on a phone.

Sommaroy day drive

Emma_R, Feb 2026

Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side today, but the heavily falling snow just added a different angle to a great trip. You could just imagine the stunning scenery on a clear day of the fjords on the drive to Sommaroy. Kent was an excellent driver in the scary conditions and very informative.

Norway as a postcard

Robert_S, Jan 2026

Interesting , worth it!

Penelope_P, Jun 2024

Guide was very knowledgable, took us to memorable spots and a very fullfilling meal at the arctic restaurant.. bowl of warm and creamy fish soup with excellent bread, (there were other options if necessary). We've been on other trips since which were also very memorable... mind is buzzing ... not had time to upload photo's as yet.

Small group means spots with untrodden snow

Kristiana_K, Mar 2020

It was supposed to be the whole family, but it turned out to be just me. And I'm so pleased to have gone! There were three of us, and while it was quite cold (-6C to -8C with windchill), we enjoyed some gorgeous scenery, stopping in a number of places off the beaten path. We stopped multiple places where the only footprints belonged to us - which as you might imagine made for some gorgeous photos. While I had intended to take the whole family, I suspect that the kids would have spent most of the time in the van, since they're not photographers. If your kids are, they might be more interested, but it's a couple of hours of driving and stopping otherwise.

Dreamlike postcard idyll tour

Volker_H, Sep 2025

You will be driven across the islands of Tromsø in a comfortable VAN. On the outward journey along the open sea, on the return journey through the fjords. At impressive viewpoints, phototops are taken that you can use for your own photos or that the guide photographs. In between, we have a small lunch.
