1.Norwegian Fjords Half-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 745 reviews · 5 hours · from $132Our pick

Spend five hours touring Kvaløya from Tromsø with an English-speaking guide such as George, Alan, or Andre. Expect changing routes, Arctic beaches, fjords, lakes, waterfalls, photo stops, professional portraits, and a picnic of cake with hot drinks.

“George was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable about the area and took us to the best places, we had a refreshment stop on the beach where we had a wooden cabin near the beach with a wood burner, cake and hot drinks. We were lucky enough to see the 1st sunrise of the year and George made an extra stop to let us take photos and took photos himself as well to send onto us. it was a very cold day and the bus was initially a bit chilly however we did warm up as the day went on. 100% recommend 😊”
