Full description

Head off on a 4x4 adventure to explore Norway's Arctic wildlife and landscapes. Go exploring in a 4x4 van equipped for off-road adventures. On your way to Kvaløya island, enjoy the ever-changing landscapes, and be sure to look out for roaming wildlife.

Have the possibility to spot soaring sea eagles, native reindeer, and the elusive moose. Make several scenic stops along the way, and capture the landscapes with professional photos taken for you throughout the tip.

Upon reaching the archipelago islands, we will enjoy an organic homemade light picnic, and a warm drink. As you continue through the mountain valley, pass quaint fishing villages, and make a final stop at one of the most dramatic fjords on the island.

The seasons in the North are full of charm and character. From autumn colours, to snow capped mountains, with the soft light of polar night, and the feeling of warmth as the sun returns. The melting snow slowly unveils the blooming landscapes as waterfalls begin to flow again.

Small group tour, maximum 8 guests

A really fabulous day! Lovely small group in comfortable transport and some wonderful sights. The included lunch was lovely and fresh, taken at a beautiful stop. Our guide was really knowledgeable and he went out his way on the way back as we saw a group of reindeer and we were able to stop and go and get photos which was an awesome experience! Really recommend this trip! Thank you :)

Very nice tour when you don't have a car in Tromso and you want to see magnificent landscapes, a small van max 9 participants, we were 7, the really adorable guide Hanna took us to various spots, took pictures and picnic (vegetarian) at the edge of the beach, the tour lasts 5 hours. We were lucky to have great weather with sunshine as the weather is often rainy and windy. Thanks for this tour Hanna

Well organized tour, highly recommended! Very pleasant guide who told a lot about the region and nature. A heartily prepared picnic, at a location not expected in Norway, rounded off the program. Tip for visitors who arrive on a cruise ship and want to do "more" than the classic excursion program offered.
