Know before you go
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Specialized infant seats are available
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- We run the tour even in rainy/snowy days. This is because the weather can change a lot in micro-climates between the fjords and mountains, providing us sometimes stunning views.
- Bring warm clothes, even in summer.
- It can be slippery on the places where we stop.
- The guide may choose an alternative itinerary to the one presented in the description of the tour. This can happen due to road closures, avalanches, weather. We have designed alternative routes to accomplish the Fjord tour through Kvaløya regardless.
- This tour requires a minimum of 4 people. If we do not reach the minimum amount of people, we will team up with one of our partners that runs a similar tour. In case we still do not get a minimum of 4 people, or we decide to cancel due to bad weather, you will be offered to change your tour to another day or get a refund.
- The supplier will own full copyrights of any photo taken by us during our tours. They will upload photos of you to a third party web platform and monetize on the photos. They may also publish video footages of you. If you do not wish any photo of you to be published nor taken, please inform the provider, as well as your guide, before the tour and do not pose for the photographers.
- You cannot claim a refund related to any issues with the vehicle used in the activities, as this is a service provided by a 3rd party company. Claims need to be addressed directly to the transport company.
- Temperatures perceived inside or outside the vehicle may be higher or lower when compared to normal standards - due to multi-stop configuration.
- Visibility from inside the vehicle may vary depending on seating position and weather, which can affect window conditions (including fogging or rain). These factors are beyond the operator’s control and do not qualify for a complaint or a refund. Scenic stops are scheduled to allow guests to exit the vehicle and view designated viewpoints.

En excellent experience
It was an excellent experience, we were just 3 partecipants, the guide was more than perfect. Everything was very nice and all the places that we saw were beautiful.

Fantastic!
Pedro was a fantastic host who explained many facts and curiosities about the Norwegian history and its people. It was a fantastic experience and views were breathtaking! The tour was well planned and avoided the rest of the tours.

⭐️ Exceptional tour & an amazing guide!
Samuel was absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely dedicated to giving us the best experience. He even came back and gave us an extra 30 minutes to see the reindeer again. I’ve travelled the world and never had a guide go that extra mile! This was the highlight of my trip to Tromsø. £118 isn’t cheap, but with Samuel as your guide, it’s worth every penny. Highly recommended - you won’t be disappointed! Thank you for everything Samuel. You are a star!

Beautiful places and a kind guide
Beautiful places and excellent guide, Samuel has really made the difference

A photo op tour with little/no history about the area
Fantastic scenery and a great few hours out. If you are looking to learn about the area, it’s history and culture, then this trip is not for you. It was more of a photo op trip. This was a bit disappointing. On the drive back we didn’t even stop once even though we passed some really good spots for photos - we asked to stop as we saw reindeers passing by but that didn’t even warrant a slow down by our guide. As said, a nice few hours out but don’t expect to learn anything about the area.

Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops cost?
+
Prices start at $154 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 Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops 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 Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 76 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops?
+
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 Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops 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 Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops?
+
Around 27 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 Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops 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 Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops?
+
Included: Fjord Photo Tour; Roundtrip Transportation from Tromsø; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop off; and Private Tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops?
+

What languages is Tromsø: Sommarøy Island Road Trip with Fjord Viewpoint Stops offered in?
+
