描述
Paddle a sheltered Arctic fjord below the Kvaloya mountains on a small-group kayak tour with return transfer from central Tromso, all gear, hot drinks, and fresh pastries afterward in the pier cafe.
Most kayak trips sold out of Tromso start with a long drive. This one starts at Prostneset, and the driving is ours to do. We collect you in the centre, take you out to our own pier on Kvaloya, and you are on the water within the hour - then we bring you straight back again afterwards. No car, no bus timetable, nothing to work out.
The water here is the reason we built the pier where we did. Eidkjosen is sheltered and shallow along the shore, with the Kvaloya mountains standing up out of the fjord on three sides and the old wooden bridge running low across the water behind you. It is calm enough that a first-timer can relax into it within ten minutes, and interesting enough that people who have paddled for years still stop to look up.
You will be in a stable sea kayak with a certified guide who speaks English and Norwegian, in a group that never exceeds six guests. Before you launch, our staff fits you with a dry suit, buoyancy aid and gloves, and your guide runs through safety and paddle technique on the pier. Out on the water the guide points out what lives here - sea eagles working the ridgeline, seals surfacing behind the kayaks, eider and long-tailed duck, sometimes porpoises - and tells you how people made a living on this coast long before anyone came here for a view.
Because everyone paddles in a dry suit worn over their own clothes, we run this tour all year, and the season changes the trip completely. In June and July you paddle under a sun that never sets. Spring and autumn give you low golden light across the snow line. In the darkest weeks the fjord turns deep blue and completely silent, and the sky above the mountains does what it does. There is no wrong month - only different ones.
After about ninety minutes on the water you come back in to the pier, climb out and change indoors. Then it is straight into our cafe for a hot drink and fresh pastries baked that morning - which, after a couple of hours out on an Arctic fjord, is a good part of the point. The minibus leaves the pier afterwards and has you back at Prostneset about three and a half hours after you left it.

Bring warm base layers in wool or synthetic (no cotton), warm socks, a thin hat or buff, sunglasses with a strap, and a full change of clothes in case you get wet. The dry suit goes on over your own clothes
The transfer leaves Prostneset 45 minutes before the paddle starts and brings you back to the same place about 3.5 hours later. Please be at the meeting point 5 minutes early - the minibus cannot wait. There is no hotel pickup. If you would rather drive yourself, book our tour without transfer - same departure, free parking at the pier
The tour runs with a minimum of two participants. We paddle year-round, but sea and wind conditions decide. If we have to cancel on the day, you choose between a new departure and a full refund
Meet outside the white Tourist Shop building, on the city side of the building. Your driver will be waiting with a Steam Pier sign or car.
