Great experience – highly recommended!
We had a fantastic time on the 2-hour Polar Fishing Adventure! None of us had any real fishing experience, but everything was explained very clearly and patiently, so we quickly understood what to do. My dad even caught a huge cod, which was definitely one of the highlights of the trip! 😊 The cod was then cooked right on the boat, so we even got to taste our freshly caught fish. Warm insulated suits were provided, so we stayed comfortable throughout the trip. The two hours flew by – it was fun, relaxed and a wonderful way to experience the fjord. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would absolutely recommend it!

Unpredictable cancellation
Booked months in advance but operator cancelled it the day before departure, offering a much longer tour instead. Very disappointing.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, you were given several options. In the low season it may be that we have too few guests to carry out the tour, in which case we offer several options at no extra cost. You chose not to accept any of the options which was a great shame as we caught many fish during the slightly longer tour. Thank you for your feedback and welcome back another time :) KInd regards Polar Team

Fabulous day on the water
This was a fabulous tour from start to finish. Thomas and Jack ‘sparrow’ were fabulous hosts, from spotting White Tailed Eagles, fishing and raising their crab pot to find a King Crab. Thomas cooked the fish we caught and served it to everyone. Great day out on the water.

Fantastic experience. I...
Fantastic experience. I have done a couple of tours with this company (Polar Adventures) and this family run business looks after you and is very welcoming. We were able to bring our 7 month old baby on board so we could enjoy the experience together as a family. The on-demand tea/coffee/hot chocolate is wonderful to keep you warm and enjoying the artic experience. Also cooking up some of the fish the group caught, so you can try on board, was a fun and yummy culinary experience! If you love fishing you will love this!

Must Do!
Fantastic experience. Very easy to find and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The scenery is unbelievable and the staff cooked some of the fish that we caught ourselves - that tasted so good.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the nice feeback! We try our best to make sure that you have a nice experience with us. I am very glad you enjoyed the freshly cooked fish :)

2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does 2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tromso usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tromso is not rushed.
Is 2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 62 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure?
+
Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tromso can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tromso and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tromso within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tromso?
+
On Outty we rank every Tromso experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chasing Lights: Aurora Big Bus Chase (All Photos Included), Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive, Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tromso?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tromso?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Snacks; Transport by boat; Crew; Beverages; and Fishing gear. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is 2 hour Polar Fishing Adventure offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
