- Reindeer sightings are common on this trip, although they cannot be guaranteed as they are encountered randomly in the wilderness.
- Guests have the option to add a meal during check-in, which will be served at a local Norwegian restaurant on the island of Sommarøy.
- Embark on a fantastic sightseeing road trip from Tromsø to explore the untamed, wild beauty of Northern Norway.
- This is an opportunity to uncover the unique features of this region, including breathtaking Arctic fjords, a dramatic coastline, and even a rare sandy beach often sprinkled with snow. A local guide will lead the way through Tromsø’s wilderness to the best photo spots, sharing intriguing stories about the local history and culture that make this destination unforgettable. To ensure a personalized experience, the aim is to travel in small groups of 8-15 guests by minibus. However, during the peak high season, there may be occasions where two groups are combined on a comfortable, larger coach to meet demand.
- We run the tour even in rainy/snowy days. This is because the weather can change a lot in micro-climates between the fjords and mountains, providing us sometimes stunning views.
- Bring warm clothes, even in summer.
- It can be slippery on the places where we stop.
- The guide may choose an alternative itinerary to the one presented in the description of the tour. This can happen due to road closures, avalanches, weather. We have designed alternative routes to accomplish the Fjord tour through Kvaløya regardless.
- This tour requires a minimum of 4 people. If we do not reach the minimum amount of people, we will team up with one of our partners that runs a similar tour. In case we still do not get a minimum of 4 people, or we decide to cancel due to bad weather, you will be offered to change your tour to another day or get a refund.
- The supplier will own full copyrights of any photo taken by us during our tours. They will upload photos of you to a third party web platform and monetize on the photos. They may also publish video footages of you. If you do not wish any photo of you to be published nor taken, please inform the provider, as well as your guide, before the tour and do not pose for the photographers.
- You cannot claim a refund related to any issues with the vehicle used in the activities, as this is a service provided by a 3rd party company. Claims need to be addressed directly to the transport company.
- Temperatures perceived inside or outside the vehicle may be higher or lower when compared to normal standards - due to multi-stop configuration.
- Visibility from inside the vehicle may vary depending on seating position and weather, which can affect window conditions (including fogging or rain). These factors are beyond the operator’s control and do not qualify for a complaint or a refund. Scenic stops are scheduled to allow guests to exit the vehicle and view designated viewpoints.

Fjord Tour - Our tour guide Pedro was very informative & engaging! We would highly recommend the Fjords tour. While there is a bit of driving involved the stunning scenery & ample pit stops along the way to admire the scenery worked really well.

Beautiful scenic road trip - highly recommend - With only a small group (maximum of 8) we had the opportunity to stop at a number of fjords and scenic places between Tromsø and Sommarøy. Mickal (not sure of the spelling) was a fantastic guide and safe driver on the icy roads; additionally he was very knowledgeable of the areas and accommodating to everyone’s needs.
Lunch of traditional fish soup is provided in Sommarøy; however NorthernShots will arrange for dietary needs (such as vegetarian and gluten free bread) when booking the tour. We actually booked our tickets through the Information Centre in the city centre.
Use the bathroom/toilet before departure, as the next toilet facility is at Sommarøy where you have lunch. You may also wish to take a bottled drink for the journey.
This road trip is definitely highly recommended, and we would do it when we visit Tromsø again.

Norway as a postcard - Norway has got many beautiful “faces”,our idea about the country and fiords has totally changed after this tour.There are beaches all over the coast from Tromso,and all these islands look like post cards,no filters or photoshop is needed. Our guide was very reliable and helpful,he was a super safe driver ( and it’s very important :),he knew all the best spots for the stops and pictures.And yes,the fish soup with cod was delicious!

Day Trip to Sommaroy Island Norway - We visited Sommaroy Island Norway Where time Stands Still without Clocks.
Sommaroy Island is approximately 1 hour drive away from Tromso Norway. On our way we stop by so many picturesque viewpoints in Kvaloya. Sommaroy is a unique place where you can see midnight Sun in Summers & Northern Lights in winters. Sommaroy has small population with 350 people declared time free Zone in 2019 which means they removed clocks from all public places. Sommaroy is definitely worth visiting If you are in Norway
