Review of Tromsø’s Northern Lights hunt with bonfire, soup, thermal gear, expert guides, photography help, and transfers.

Hike snowy Kvaløya with huskies, meet 200 dogs and puppies, and enjoy cake by the fire on this five-hour Tromsø tour.
“Very nice visit to the camp and grtting to know how they keep a sustainable model for the dogs and being able to see the pups. The snowshoe walk was EPIC...! The nature, being able to walk with the dogs, and talk to the trainers. I definitely recommend the experience”
Learn Norwegian cross-country skiing on Tromsøya with patient guides, Arctic views, warm toddy, local sweets, and gear included.

“So much fun! Adrian was a great guide and the walk was beautiful!”
Paddle Tromsø’s winter fjords in a warm drysuit, watch for seals and sea eagles, then warm up by the fire with hot drinks and snacks.
“This activity was amazing!! Our guide, Rune, was incredible and absolutely lovely, so friendly! Even though the weather was not looking good we still went out to check and were offered another plan in case we couldn’t do the kayaking or a full refund. But fortunately the weather was calm enough to get some kayaking in! An incredible experience with some lovely mulled wine or hot chocolate and biscuits after! Transport fully included even dropped people off to their hotels which was lovely!”
Explore Tromsø’s winter fjords, wildlife, photo stops, and picnic lunch on a small-group Kvaløya road trip with Wandering Owl.
“We had a wonderful sunny day with Ellie showing us the arctic landscapes of Norway. She showed us some beautiful places and also took photos for and with us. We stopped at a beautiful beach and had some lunch. We had a great time. Thank you for this Ellie.”
Snowshoe through Tromsøya’s birch forest with a guide, views, hot drink, lefse, gear, and transport included.
“Very fun and the guides were great. The hot drink and snack was a nice touch. I wish they did stop more often because it was hard at times with all the hills. It is fairly easy but walked really fast”
Cruise from Ålesund to wintertime Geirangerfjord with Fjord Rangers, local food, Flydalsjuvet views, and the Norwegian Fjord Centre.
“Staffs were really nice. Plenty of complimentary food and drinks. Good programme. Love it!”
Review of Svolvær’s 2-hour winter kayak tour, with Arctic views, local stories, warm gear, guide tips, value, and practical advice.
“We really enjoyed our time kayaking with our guide Johnathan. He was calm and patient, made sure everyone knew what they were doing and took time to ensure everyone was enjoying the experience. He regrouped us now and again, to ensure we were altogether and to provide knowledge of our surroundings. There was 5 of us, so my son opted to go out on the double kayak with Johnathan, who was extremely good with him, took an interest, was knowledgeable and answered any questions. As a family we enjoyed this experience, 4 of us had never kayaked before so it was one for the memory bank. Thank you!”
Review of Bergen’s five-hour snowshoe hike, with mountain views, local stories, hot drinks, equipment, costs, and practical booking advice.
“Truly incredible experience. The guides were knowledgeable of the mountain terrain and customised the tour to suit the physical abilities of the group. Being a younger group, we had the opportunity to go further, and hike to a fantastic summit. Hot chocolate and some local delicacies were a great touch. The highlight of my time in Bergen. 100% recommend.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
