    You will feel like family

    Such a solid experience!! They made us feel like family and welcomed us into their home. It was cold on the ice but they looked after everyone and offered more clothes to anyone who needed it. We were lucky enough to catch a fish and eating it right after was once in a lifetime experience. Well worth it.

    Would definitely book again!

    We had a wonderful time ice fishing with Karin and Oskar! They provided us with everything we needed, and their sense of fun and humor kept things fun and entertaining even when the fish were not biting. 10/10 would definitely book again!

    Response from the operator: Thank you 🥰

    We really enjoyed this...

    We really enjoyed this ice fishing experience. The excursion was well-organized, and the guides were friendly. It was really special being able to go back to Karin's home to cook and enjoy the fish we caught!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much:-)

    An adventure with a personal touch

    Karin was out guide for the fishing on the fjord. Pickup was easy at a location in Tromso centre. The snow was really coming down heavily, and the trip out was exciting .. Karin’s driving felt safe at all times.. we arrived without incident even though snow plows hadn’t cleared the roads very much at the time. A short walk through a snowy landscape and we were at the edge of the fjord. We each got to drill our own ice hole and were given an ice fishing 101 instruction on how to use the hand lines and what to do if we caught a fish . We caught a few cod , one of which was big enough to take back for cooking Back at Karin’s home , the fish and some really tasty fish burgers were barbequed in her quaint little hut. After some hot drinks, marshmallows cooked on the hot coals it was time to go. A really lovely experience .. Takk 😁

    Response from the operator: Tusen takk🥰🥰🥰

    Fantastic experience

    We had a wonderful few hours ice fishing with Karin and Oskar - although we didn’t catch anything , Oskar caught 2 lovely Cod. Karin hosted our whole group (15 people) at her home afterwards, and we all enjoyed fish burgers and home made chocolate cake plus the Cod. I’ve never been on a tour quite like this, so personal and welcoming . Highly recommended!

    Response from the operator: Thank you 🥰

    Ice Fishing On The Fjord: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ice Fishing On The Fjord cost?

    +

    Prices start at $231 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 Ice Fishing On The Fjord 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 Ice Fishing On The Fjord worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 189 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 Ice Fishing On The Fjord?

    +

    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 Ice Fishing On The Fjord 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 Ice Fishing On The Fjord?

    +

    Around 66 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 Ice Fishing On The Fjord 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 Ice Fishing On The Fjord?

    +

    Included: Fish burger. And fresh fish, if we catch some :-); Pick-up and drop off in Tromsø; Hot and cold drink, in my privat home or in the grillcabin; Warm Jacket and pants if needed; and Ice Fishing on the Fjord. Not included: Warm mittens, cap, underwear and, winter shoes not provided; and Hotel pick-up and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Ice Fishing On The Fjord?

    +

    Infront of the entrence to Skirri Restaurant. You should see Kaffebønna. Then you know you are on the right corner of the building. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Ice Fishing On The Fjord offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Norwegian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ice Fishing On The Fjord?

    +

    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.

    What happens to Ice Fishing On The Fjord 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.
