3.00The instructor was very pleasant and friendly but there was minimal instruction - he showed the group what to do but there was no checking on technique or any individual help - the younger members of the group were fine but the older ones less so .The setting was lovely .
Our guides were very nice...

5.00A great, if a bit more strenuous than expected;) Experience! Communication in advance was really great and a change to another coach due to illness worked without any problems. If you hesitate – do it! To experience the landscape, the whole nature around Tromsø in this way is something completely different. Even if you, like me, have never stood on skis before – the coaches explain everything so well that even I managed to get around ;) Many thanks to Sissel for the good communication and organization and to Emma and Mariell for their very friendly, attentive nature and patience with us.
Great first contact!

5.00Our previous experience with skiing was non-existent and after these first notions it was all wonderful. Very pleasant experience and especially very fun. We will have to rent equipment to tour the whole island.
Great vibes and great guide
