Incredible Day Trip from Tromso
Just finished an incredible day trip to Kvaloya island on Oct 5. Our guide Orjan gave great, detailed commentary and took such good care of everyone. We were really impressed with how thoughtful he was, also enjoyed the sharing of the stories. The warm lunch picnic at Sommaroy was fantastic. Huge thanks to him. Highly recommended!!!

Great experience
Orjan, the tour operator was great Local and willing to share the cultural experiences He did well taking pictures as well
via Viator
Great trip, great guide, operational issues with listing on viator
The tour itself was great and the guide was knowledgable, fun and friendly! But it seems there is a problem in communication betweeen viator and tour operator, similar with one of our other bookings as well via viator. So either it is a viator issue or an operational issue at the operator end. For example- no response on viator messages while trying to communicate with operator, difficult to locate based on instructions in viator, and no veg meal option despite viator listing it as a choice.
via Viator
Enjoyable day out.
Orjan was an excellent driver and guide. He explained the plan and activities very clearly, our expectations were met with viewings of reindeer, fjords and wonderful landscape. Orjan shared insights of local life and some interesting history. The pace of the tour was very good. Our only disappointment was 'lunch' which was a bit light-on and consisted primarily of crackers, cookies and black tea/coffee.

The trip with Vin was wonderful. We loved everything we saw and even the Reindeer stew we had on our picnic! The only part we didn't like was finding we were not near where we were to meet. I made 3 requests asking where it was. When we arrived in port, I showed a local the address and were told we would have to take a taxi to get there. Having to incur additional costs of 235 krona, one way, was an uninspected cost. We use Vialor all over the world and this was a first for us. Very disappointed.

Arctic Nature Tour from Tromsø with Scenic Sommarøy picnic: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Arctic Nature Tour from Tromsø with Scenic Sommarøy picnic cost?
+
Prices start at $136 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 Nature Tour from Tromsø with Scenic Sommarøy picnic take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Nature Tour from Tromsø with Scenic Sommarøy picnic worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 559 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 Nature Tour from Tromsø with Scenic Sommarøy picnic?
+
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 Nature Tour from Tromsø with Scenic Sommarøy picnic suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Arctic Nature Tour from Tromsø with Scenic Sommarøy picnic?
+
Around 196 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Arctic Nature Tour from Tromsø with Scenic Sommarøy picnic 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.
