Mobile ticket

- We often see reindeers during this trip, even thought we cannot guarantee it, as we will find them randomly on the wilderness.

- You can choose to add a meal during checkin - it will be served at a local Norwegian restaurant in the island of Sommarøy

- A great sightseeing road trip from Tromsø to experience the raw, wild nature of Northern Norway.

- This is your chance to discover what makes this region unique, including the stunning Arctic fjords, the dramatic coastline, and even a rare sandy beach, often dusted with snow. Your local guide will lead you through Tromsø's wilderness to the very best photo stops, sharing fascinating stories about the local history and culture that make this destination so memorable. To provide a personal experience, we aim to travel in small groups of 8-15 guests by minibus. However, please note that during the peak high-season, we may occasionally run with two groups together on a comfortable, larger coach to accommodate demand.

Additional Info

Public transportation options are available nearby

Specialized infant seats are available

Suitable for all physical fitness levels

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.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

  • Not synced, so trip missed

    So disappointed. Changed date with Viator- which they confirmed and issued new voucher for - only to find it hadn’t synced to pick up location so couldn’t join the tour. Then got contacted to ask whether I was coming for the original date that I had changed. So we missed a much anticipated trip altogether.

  • Excellent tour of the fjords & islands between Tromsø and Sommarøy

    Antonio was a very friendly, knowledgeable guide He took us to some great places and the scenery was amazing His detail about the places we visited was excellent, very informative! If there's one complaint, if you're sat at the back of the minibus you can't hear what he's saying when driving between destinations, he did try to repeat it at the next stop but still

  • Feel a bit ripped off

    Holly P,Feb 15, 2026

    This tour was just okay over all. Very pretty sights and comfy transportation. However, I do feel a bit ripped off. The description mentions twice “ Plus, stay warm with a hot drink and meal.” it doesn’t say that the meal is an additional cost. It’s 25usd for a pretty small bowl of soup. I think it’s fair to assume that everything in the description is included. It also claims there is a professional photographer. I can’t quite agree with that discription. There’s someone with a nice camera you pay to take photos, but the quality wasn’t any higher than on a phone.

    Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side today, but the heavily falling snow just added a different angle to a great trip. You could just imagine the stunning scenery on a clear day of the fjords on the drive to Sommaroy. Kent was an excellent driver in the scary conditions and very informative.

    A beautiful country with lots of sights. Unfortunately, hosts with apartments are very anonymous and have no personal contact with the guest but only via mobile phone

    Worthwhile excursion to see the enchanting scenery around Tromsö. Stops were made in between and we had time to take pictures. Got a lot of information about Norway from our friendly guide (from Portugal). The tour is a bit weather dependent, we were lucky to be out in cloudless skies. A dream!

    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 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
