See the Northern Lights while on a beautiful beach.
It was a beautiful evening on the beach with good company and delicious tomato soup and hot chocolate, led by Samuel. Samuel worked diligently to search out the lights, even stopping several times while driving. The night previously we had gone on a chase drive to see the Northern Lights, which we also loved. This was a different experience, and it was also enjoyable.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! It's great to hear that you enjoyed your tour, the food and drinks provided and the company. Samuel gives his all on every tour and does the best he can to help guests witness the Aurora, and we are so proud that he achieved it on your tour as well. Thank you for choosing Northern Soul Adventures and we hope to see you again someday!

An absolute must in tromsø!
Fede was absolutely amazing! He explained everything about the trip, the animals, and answered all of our questions very knowingly. You can feel his passion for nature and for Norway. The weather was so nice so we went to multiple fjords. He really took the time to take pictures of me, which was really considerate. The food was really good, and overall I would definitely recommend. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had visiting Norway!

We enjoyed a memorable day trip around Tromsø
We enjoyed a memorable day trip around Tromsø. Our guide was very professional and passionate about Arctic nature. He gave detailed commentary on landscapes and wildlife. What impressed us most was that he took lots of beautiful photos for us and sent all pictures after the tour. The schedule was well-organized without rushing. Clean restroom stops were arranged properly. We witnessed amazing coastal and fjord views,and reindeers. This trip is wonderful and I would gladly recommend it.

Efficient and scenic island tour
This tour was a great way to see some of the outer island landscapes without consuming a lot of time. We took the morning tour (09:30 departure) and were back before 15:00 (3:00 PM). We saw Kvaloya and Sommeroy islands and made multiple scenic view stops along the way. Our guide Frederico was very knowledgeable about the islands we visited as well as some of the attractions in Tromso as well. He took our group to a WWII era German bunker and talked about some of the history of Germany’s invasion of Norway during the war. The beach stop on Sommeroy was a highlight - we lucked out with the weather being decent enough to enjoy some sandwiches and tea/coffee on the beach. He also provided our group with several wonderful pictures we could download after the tour.

Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso cost?
+
Prices start at $154 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 Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 759 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso?
+
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 Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso?
+
Around 266 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso 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: Scenic Picnic; Cookies & hot beverages (tea + coffee); Organic Vegan friendly Sandwich; Free professional photos from tour in web resolution; and Pick-up from Tromsø City Center. Not included: Child booster & safety seats (minimum height 135 cm) can be provided, please request upon; and Hotel pick-up and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Arctic Fjord Roadtrip with Scenic Picnic from Tromso?
+
Street address: Kirkegata 2 Outside Tourist Shop Tromsø Havn (white house with blue writing). Please stand on the side facing the city, your guide will meet you there. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
