We suggest: woollen base layer, woollen sweater, down mid layer and a shell or windproof jacket as the final layer. Jeans, especially skinny jeans, aren’t windproof, nor do they have any thermal qualities. High heels and fashion shoes are unsuitable.

From small group sizes to reducing waste and supporting local communities, we believe every choice matters. Responsible travel is at the heart of what we do.

Stories From Our Happy Explorers

Good way to see the scenery around Tromso

We had a very enjoyable day, our guide was knowledgeable and looked after the group well. If you want a taste of the amazing scenery around Tromso then this is a good tour. The tour is via a mini bus or mini van and is not into the wild. They stopped at many points along the way explaining the various locations.

Simply spectacular and beautiful!!!

My wife and I really enjoyed the tour from the beginning till the end. The driver and guide was there on time and he was so friendly and knowledgeable about each one of the places we visited. The views of the landscapes, islands, and coastal beaches were outstanding. The guide took us to the best places along the route and the photographs he took were amazing. The picnic we had on the beach was so healthy and delicious and the hot drinks kept us warm. The guide was spectacular. I highly recommend this tour when you come to Tromso.

Roberto R

Recommend 100% specially on your first day in town

This was my first activity in Tromsø and it started the trip in the best way possible. The views were spectacular and it gave me a picture of the surrounding area. It was also great for me to feel the weather and learn how to dress comfortably without having to suffer discomfort because we do a lot of driving and also a lot of being outside. Bart, our guide and photographer was amazing.
