Norway is known for its beautiful fjords where the mountains meet the sea, and we'd like to keep it this way! Come with us for a road trip like no other. You'll discover places with amazing scenery, admire arctic wilderness and take memorable shots.
This is the most ethical trip for you to experience the extraordinary nature of Northern Norway. Explore different locations on the islands to see the fjords, mountains, beaches, lakes, forests and small villages in the Norwegian countryside. On this trip, you will get to beautiful places to take photos, relax in a peaceful atmosphere and enjoy the views and sounds of nature, and if we are lucky, we can even see some wildlife! Your guide will assist you with your camera, if needed, and will be taking photos of the fjord sightseeing activity. These photos will be shared after the fjord tour in web-sized resolution.
During our time together in the wilderness, we will collect data for one of our citizen science projects. We’re committed to conservation, regenerative travel, and protecting the Arctic nature. You’ll help collect data used in environmental research and in our Responsible Tourism Project, supporting sustainable practices across the region.
After enjoying your included homemade lunch and hot drinks, we'll return you to Tromso.
