This tour was THE HIGHLIGHT of our Norway trip! - 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø has as many tour companies as it does tourists! so choosing the best one can be challenging. Of all the ones we did, local Legendary Adventure's Wildlife/Fjord excursion was by far the best and most fun, thanks to their 2 incredibly knowledgeable and gregarious guides, Truls and Benji. They knew out of the way spots that were definite highlights of the day; a walk on shell laden white sandy beach, coffee at Bryggejentene, stopping for reindeer photos and bridges by waterfalls with double rainbows. Seated in the luxurious comfort of a brand new Mercedes minivan, we hopped around several islands and fishing villages with breathtaking scenery before stopping for a lunch at the picturesque village of Sommarøy. Highly recommend Legendary Adventure for tour value, the passion and cultural knowledge they have for the area plus their genuine commitment to making your day a once in a lifetime experience. FIVE STARS *****

Inspirational Vistas - We were fortunate to be in a small group of just four in a very comfortable car. Our guide, Tule (ph), was fun & knowledgeable. We saw reindeer and spectacular vistas. Lunch was good & relaxed. We got to see many sights we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended!

Blue skies, amazing scenery and some pretty good lunch! - The driver guides showed up early and sorted out all the customers as well as acquiring a couple more that really wanted to go, but were having difficulties with getting tickets online. The team got them squared away and off we went. Good communications were had and we shared lots of information about the location, Scandinavian myths and legends throughout the trip. The weather was perfect and we could see for miles and miles and the views did not disappoint. The reindeer must have been off playing reindeer games because they were no where to be found, but that is how nature is and our guide put in a good effort trying to find them for us. Great time had and would recommend this company and our guide!

Great excursion! - My husband and I cannot speak more highly of our time on this excursion. Our tour guide was fantastic--equal parts knowledgeable and personable. He certainly made this trip! The views and lunch at the Sommaroy Hotel were perfect and much needed for our trip to fjords!

Great day of sightseeing! - Eric was a knowledgeable, friendly driver showing all of his favorite sites along our tour track. Too many good experiences to mention but having only 6 friendly passengers helped us to feel like it a was a custom tour. Highly recommended!

Great journey around Kvaloya - Just wow, picked up by our guide Eric - there was only me and my partner so a personal sightseeing tour. The vehicle was so comfy, clean and quiet. Eric was amazing; engaging, informative and all round great guy. His driving was fab too (my partner usually gets motion sick but not with Eric). He kept us informed and entertained for the duration of our trip. We visited a host of fabulous, scenic places around Kvaloya - the highlight; Sammoroy (or the Norwegian Caribbean as Eric called it). No wildlife on our tour (but animals are animals and come out if they want - it didn’t spoil the day). But Eric did stop when he spotted random reindeer grazing by the road - awesome. A truly great trip, with an awesome guide. Well recommended. 5 stars 😁
