Great excursion
So pleased we did this trip. Anna was a great guide and adapted the route to suit the weather for us. The amount of local knowledge, the excitement of spotting reindeer all added to the perfection of the trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! Anna will be very happy to hear this. We’re delighted you enjoyed the flexibility of the tour, her local knowledge, and of course the excitement of spotting reindeer along the way!

About the guide & tour
Samuel is one of the best tour guide I have every had. Great activities and opportinoties watching wildlife

Great viewpoints,...
Great viewpoints, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Only thing which let it down was the mention of a "delicious lunch of Norwegian cuisine" on the main tour advert and we only had a small cinnamon roll and hot drink. A little misleading and tour participants may need to be more prepared.

Wet and windy fjords for all
We had a wonderful day out touring the Fjords with Anna from The Green Adventure. She gave us an extensive history of Tromsø and the arctic which was a wonderful surprise addition to the tour. It was very wet and windy weather but that did not dampen the spirits. We walked into beautiful valleys, saw reindeer, walked on a sandy beach, and even tested out a frozen lake (it was not cold enough for us to walk on it this time). Highly recommend the tour for all who love nature and glacial valleys.

Excellent Tour Provider
We had an excellent experience on this tour. Our guide Samuel clearly has a passion for the history and landscape of the area and has exceptional people skills. I have some mobility issues and occasionally had some difficulty navigating the icy areas of the terrain. Samuel went out of his way to assist me and ensure that I was having a good experience. The scenery was beautiful and we were even lucky enough to see a reindeer on the side of the road as we returned to town. Highly recommended.

Fjords tour - a roadtrip along fjords with wildlife spotting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Fjords tour - a roadtrip along fjords with wildlife spotting cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Fjords tour - a roadtrip along fjords with wildlife spotting 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 Fjords tour - a roadtrip along fjords with wildlife spotting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 155 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fjords tour - a roadtrip along fjords with wildlife spotting?
+
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 Fjords tour - a roadtrip along fjords with wildlife spotting 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 Fjords tour - a roadtrip along fjords with wildlife spotting?
+
Around 54 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 Fjords tour - a roadtrip along fjords with wildlife spotting 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.
