      am Marianne and both my guides and I are Professional Photographers, my family and I, have lived and worked this land, since the early 1700's . My self and my guides would love to share this beautiful landscape that we call "Heaven On Earth" with you. Listen to ancient folklore stories about this area. Spectacular breath taking scenery. Jaw dropping fjords, will almost make you speechless. You can look forever; but we will take you directly to where the real action is. In winter we have days when the sun does not rise above the horizon from 28th of November to the 15th of January known as a blue day White tailed sea and golden eagles all join in on the free bonanza of fish that are attracted by the warm water's of the gulf stream. Reindeer can be seen scraping the snow covered tundra, as they move around in search of food. Seals, Otters, stoat's and foxes can show up at any time any where. Just remember that it’s wild animals and we can’t guarantee it.

    Awesome small group fjord, wildlife and photography trip!

    The 4 of us booked the Scenic Fjord, Wildlife & Photography tour with Marianne. One other couple also toured with us. Marianne’s van was very comfortable and it was easy to see out the windows. We stopped at numerous vistas to take pictures of the gorgeous scenery and at most every stop, Marianne both offered advice on how to take more interesting pictures and taught us how to use many of the features our phone cameras offered that we had not known about. We were also lucky to encounter some reindeer just wandering by. Being born and raised in a local village, Marianne really knows her stuff! And almost as important, Marianne served us the best hot chocolate ever and the cookies were mighty good too! We were so glad to have hired Marianne as our small group tour guide and highly recommend her services!

    A day to remember

    I cannot recommend this tour enough. I was alone, so I had private tour with no extra charge. Marianne is a wonderful guide, very friendly with excellent knowledge of the area. She is an excellent driver and photographer. She share great tips about photography, camera... We stopped at many places. There was enough time to take photos and enjoy the beauty of nature. Four hours were extended by an hour and a half. Tusen takk Marianne, to show your garden of Eden. Til next time.

    Heaven on Earth, Indeed!

    If you're visiting Tromsø and want to see places that most tourists never get to, I highly recommend Heaven on Earth Tours with Marianne. From the moment she picked us up from our hotel on the Tromso waterfront, it felt like spending the day with a local friend rather than being on a tour. Although it was advertised as a 4-hour tour to Kvaloya , we were out for about 4½ hours because Marianne never rushed us. We stopped whenever there was a beautiful view, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. It was just the two of us on the tour, yet there was no extra charge, and it felt like having our own private guide. She took us to some incredible off-the-beaten-path locations, including traditional fishermen's huts with living grass roofs, stunning pristine beaches, and beautiful Grøtfjord, where we even picked wild berries. One of my favourite moments was standing by a quiet fjord where the only sounds were a distant bird and the gentle wind creating ripples on the water. Coming from the busy life in the UK, the peace and stillness were unforgettable. We even had an entire beach to ourselves. Marianne took us to Tromvik the village where she said she spent her early childhood. That was a unique place, and we met some reindeer in the village where we could see them upclose without any restriction. Marianne is an expert in photography and was happy to share tips on how to capture the best shots. She was always willing to take photos of us, so we came home with many wonderful memories. A special mention also goes to her lovely dog, Kara, who came along for the tour. She was incredibly well-behaved and happily posed for photos with us as if she had done it all her life! This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Tromsø. If you’re looking for a relaxed, personalised tour that takes you off the beaten path and showcases the true beauty of the area beyond the typical day trip, I highly recommend booking with Marianne. You won’t regret it!

    Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour.: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.

    How much does Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $198 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 Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour. 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 Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 56 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 Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour.?

    +

    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 Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour. 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 Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour.?

    +

    Around 20 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 Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour. 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.

    What is included in Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour.?

    +

    Included: Warm Boots Socks Snowsuit Gloves and Hat if required; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour.?

    +

    Meeting point is Smørtorget, Fredrik Langes gate 9, 9008 Tromsø Up from Radisson Blue Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour.?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour. wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour. if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Half-Day Scenic Wildlife & Photographic Fjord Tour.?
