Description

Embark on an Arctic Roadtrip from Tromsø with a local guide. Discover the breathtaking beauty of Northern Norway, explore stunning fjords and islands, and spot wildlife on a scenic drive.
Join us on a spectacular Arctic road trip as we explore the breathtaking fjords, islands, and coastal landscapes surrounding Tromsø. This guided tour is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who wants to experience the raw, untouched beauty of Northern Norway in comfort and at a relaxed pace.

We begin our journey in central Tromsø, where you'll be welcomed by your friendly local guide and transported in a comfortable minivan. As we leave the city, the scenery quickly transforms into dramatic Arctic wilderness.

Our first stop is the stunning Kvaløya Island, known for its rugged terrain and dramatic coastlines. We'll drive through Kattfjordeidet, a mountain pass offering panoramic views of fjords, peaks, and valleys — a perfect spot for a photo break.

Next, we head toward Ersfjordbotn, a picturesque fishing village nestled between steep mountains and a narrow fjord. Here, you'll have time to take in the serene beauty, learn about the local way of life, and capture the moment with your camera.

From there, we continue our scenic drive to Sommarøy, one of the most beautiful Arctic islands in the region. Known for its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and small colorful cabins, this island feels almost tropical despite its far-north location. You'll have time to stretch your legs, walk along the beach, and admire the views of nearby islands and the open sea.

Depending on the season, you'll witness different natural wonders:

In winter, snow-covered landscapes and low golden light create a magical, peaceful atmosphere. Wildlife such as reindeer or sea eagles may be spotted along the way.

In summer, enjoy the vibrant greens of the Arctic summer and the surreal glow of the Midnight Sun, with long, bright days that never end.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share local stories, historical insights, and explain the geology and culture of the places we visit. Light snacks and hot drinks are provided along the way, and we’ll make several scenic stops for photos and exploration.

After a day of discovery and stunning views, we’ll make our way back to Tromsø, arriving with memories that will last a lifetime.
