Great experience at secluded lake

Great experience! Gudmund is a fantastic guide. Everyone did end up catching fish, but he made sure to keep everyone engaged since it wasn’t a guarantee—little trivia, quizzes, snacks, soup etc. The long (scenic) drive is well worth it. We were the only ones on the lake, so it felt more premium / authentic than some of the tourist trap activities like reindeer feeding. Make sure to call Gudmund the “hiking Viking”—he’ll love it

Response from the operator: Dear Derek. Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the 'Best Kept Secret Icefishing Experience' and really appreciate your kind words. ❤️ Sending a big hello back to you from our guide - the one and only - Hiking Viking. 😊 We hope to see you soon back here in Tromsø. 🥰 Warm regards, Turid @ Best Kept Secret

Best Kept Secret Ice Fishing Tour

We had a brilliant time with Gudman on the Best Kept Secret ice fishing tour. The trip was very well organised, and the drive through the beautiful landscape to the lake was just incredible. Gudman was very knowledgeable and funny and we enjoyed chatting to him on the way back to the city. He also had his son with him and Alf the driver, who were both very helpful. During the ice fishing, we were given some delicious soup and traditional snacks. Most of the people on the tour caught a perch and one person caught an Arctic char too, which was very exciting.

Response from the operator: Dear Katie. Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the Best Kept Secret Icefishing Experience and really appreciate your kind words. ❤️ Sending a big hello back to you from Gudmund, Luka and Alf. 👋😊 We hope to see you back here in Tromsø soon. 🥰 Warm regards, Turid @ Best Kept Secret

Truly the Best Kept Secret!

Gudmund was an awesome guide. I stepped in an ice hole and I didn’t catch a fish but I had the best time with the most perfect views. It is so beautiful and peaceful fishing on the frozen lake. Definitely wear warm socks. The soup, snack and hot chocolate really hit the spot. Be prepared to have no formal bathroom access for the almost the full tour.

Response from the operator: Dear Tina Thank you so much for your kind words. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the Best Kept Secret trip ❤️ Guide Gudmund is saying hello! 😊 Warm regards, Turid @ Best Kept Secret

Response from the operator: Dear Thomas, Raphael and Sasha. Thank you so much for the kind words and great photos of the big catch! Congratulations! 🥳 We are truly delighted that you enjoyed our Best Kept Secret icefishing experience. ❤️ Our guide Gudmund was super impressed with the fishing skills of Raphael and Sasha (hope their names are correctly spelt) and sending you all a big hello! 🎣😊 Thanks again for joining our tour and hope to see again you soon. 🥰 Warm regards, Turid @ Best Kept Secret www.bestkeptsecret.no #tatotaladventure

Wonderful outing in the middle of nature

This was really a great half day. The main guide is fantastic. He told us a lot of interesting facts throughout. The experience was well organised. After about an hours driving we arrived at a frozen lake. We took part in drilling the holes and setting up the camp. Then did the fishing. One boy caught two trouts, no one else did but we were very happy nonetheless. This is a great experience that I would recommend. This is not something you can do very often

Response from the operator: Dear Valerie & family. Thank you so much for the wonderful review of the Best Kept Secret icefishing experience. ❤️ We are absolutely delighted that you enjoyed the tour to Nakkevatnet and hope to see you all again in the Arctic region of Norway. 💚 Our icefishing guide is sending you all a big hello as he also had a very enjoyable tour. 😊 Warm regards, Turid @ Best Kept Secret www.bestkeptsecret.no #tatotaladventure

Sjursnes Arctic Ice Fishing Adventure from Tromso: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Sjursnes Arctic Ice Fishing Adventure from Tromso cost?

+

Prices start at $1990 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 Sjursnes Arctic Ice Fishing Adventure from Tromso take?

+

Plan for about 6 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 Sjursnes Arctic Ice Fishing Adventure from Tromso worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 43 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 Sjursnes Arctic Ice Fishing Adventure 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 Sjursnes Arctic Ice Fishing Adventure from Tromso suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Sjursnes Arctic Ice Fishing Adventure from Tromso?

+

Around 15 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Sjursnes Arctic Ice Fishing Adventure 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 Northern Lights Minibus Chase from Tromsø with Chasing Lights, Northern Lights Big Bus Chase with Chasing Lights, Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear. 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.
