Overview

This is not a typical bus tour, but a relaxed and flexible small-group road trip led by a local guide who knows the area well. With a maximum of 7 guests, you’ll travel in a comfortable minivan and explore Tromsø’s fjords and islands in a personal, unhurried way.

We stop for photos, short walks, and quiet moments at scenic viewpoints and fishing villages that large groups often miss. Snacks, hot drinks, and professional photos are included, so you can focus on the experience while we capture the memories for you.

The tour feels more like travelling with a knowledgeable local friend — someone who knows the hidden roads, the best light for photos, and the calmest spots to enjoy the Arctic scenery.

Solo travellers are welcome, and discounts are automatically applied for two or more guests, making it even better value for couples, friends, and families.

Activity itinerary

Kaldfjorden

Nestled between dramatic mountain peaks and calm Arctic waters, Kaldfjorden is one of Tromsø’s most breathtaking fjords. On our stop at the scenic viewpoint, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of steep cliffs, peaceful villages, and the towering mountain of Store Blåmann in the distance. This spot is a hidden gem—perfect for photos and a quiet moment to take in the raw beauty of Northern Norway. On clear days, the mirror-like surface of the fjord reflects the mountains, creating a postcard-perfect scene. In winter, keep your eyes open—seals and even orcas are sometimes seen here. The viewpoint is easily accessible with just a short walk from the van, making it suitable for all travellers.

Ersfjordbotn

Just a short drive from Tromsø, Ersfjord is a narrow, dramatic fjord surrounded by steep, snow-capped mountains that seem to rise straight out of the sea. Once a quiet fishing village, today it offers some of the region’s most breathtaking views — especially when the light dances across the water on calm days. The peaceful atmosphere and raw natural beauty make it a perfect place to pause, breathe in the crisp Arctic air, and take stunning photos. On clear days, you might even spot sea eagles soaring overhead or reindeer wandering nearby.

Kattfjordvatnet

Nestled between steep Arctic peaks, Kattfjordvannet is a serene mountain lake surrounded by untouched wilderness. Here, travellers can step out of the van to breathe the crisp Arctic air, take photos, and enjoy the silence of the high valley. In winter, the lake is often frozen and framed by snow-covered birch forests, creating a scene straight out of a postcard. In summer, the still waters reflect the surrounding mountains, offering one of the most peaceful photo stops along the route. This is a perfect moment to stretch your legs, capture a few photos, and simply take in the calm beauty of northern Norway — far away from the crowds and noise of the city.

Nordfjordbotn

Tucked deep within the dramatic fjord landscape, Nordfjordbotn offers a stunning view where towering mountains meet the still waters of the Arctic sea. This quiet village area is one of the most scenic stretches of the road trip — a place where you can really feel the remoteness of northern Norway. Travellers can step out for photos and take in the sharp contrast between sea, snow, and rugged peaks. On calm days, the fjord’s surface mirrors the mountains perfectly, creating postcard-worthy reflections. It’s a peaceful and authentic glimpse of local life along Tromsø’s wild coast.

Sommaroy

Often called the "Caribbean of the Arctic," Sommarøy is a stunning coastal village made up of tiny islands, white-sand beaches, and crystal-clear turquoise waters — all set against a backdrop of rugged mountains and open sea. Despite lying far above the Arctic Circle, this little paradise feels surprisingly warm and inviting in the summer months. Fishing huts dot the shoreline, wooden boats rock gently in the harbours, and time seems to slow down in this peaceful island community. Sommarøy is the perfect place to stretch your legs, enjoy a warm drink, and take in the striking contrasts of the Arctic coast — from soft sand and still waters to jagged peaks rising in the distance. Whether you’re capturing the view with your camera or simply soaking in the silence, this is a stop that touches the soul.

Hella

At Hella, on the southern coast of Kvaløya, travellers can see ancient rock carvings known as Helleristningene på Skavberget. These mysterious engravings, estimated to be several thousand years old, depict reindeer, whales, and human figures — traces of the people who once hunted and lived along these Arctic shores. The site sits beside a strong tidal current, where the sound of rushing water mixes with the quiet of surrounding nature. It’s a powerful stop that connects the dramatic landscape with the region’s deep history — a place where you can pause, reflect, and imagine life here in the distant past.
