About this activity

Do you like getting to view points by foot and enjoy the scenery from above?

This tour will take you into the Arctic wonders, for an unforgettable experience!

Using a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser, we will reach some of the most beautiful areas that Tromsø region has to offer.

Based on weather conditions your guide will choose a safe and fun trail around Kvaløya island or over the mainland out of Tromsø. Vistas are guaranteed no matter which way we'll go!

We will then venture for a scenic easy hike, reaching untouched landscapes, mountain lakes and breathtaking views.

When snow covers the ground, you will be provided with ice crampons or snowshoes, walking poles and foot+hand warmers. Remember to have your own waterproof hiking boots.

Your guide will take photos of you and the landscape, but if you have a camera as well, do bring it along!

An outdoor picnic with a view made of warm soup, cookies and hot drinks will warm us up while out in the wild Arctic, before heading back to Tromsø.
