"Arctic Roadtrip: fjords with scenic picnic"
Explore the untamed beauty of Arctic Norway. When visiting Tromsø, venturing into the surrounding nature is an absolute must! Just a short drive away, Kvaløya offers a breathtaking mix of landscapes – endless mountains, pristine Arctic beaches, dramatic fjords, and lakes that mirror the ever-changing weather.
As we journey through this wilderness, keep an eye out for native wildlife. Sea eagles gliding overhead or reindeer roaming the tundra. If we’re lucky, we might even catch a glimpse of the elusive moose. Along the way, we’ll make several scenic stops - perfect moments to soak in the nature and capture stunning photographs.
During the tour, we’ll pause for a homemade light picnic, complemented by a warm drink, before continuing through mountain valleys and charming fishing villages. Our adventure leads us around dramatic fjords - where mountains meet sea, and the vastness of the Arctic wilderness truly takes hold.
The Arctic is a land of seasons, each with its own unique charm and distinctive landscapes therefore this tour is year-round. In autumn, the colours are vivid and vibrant. Winter blankets the area in deep snow, casting a magical glow beneath the polar night. As spring awakens, melting snow reveals blooming flora, and summer stretches into endless days under the midnight sun. Whatever the weather - be it rain, wind, or snow - our journey is an authentic Norwegian experience, embracing nature in all its moods.
So, sit back, breathe in the crisp northern air, and let the Arctic enchant you. Join us for an unforgettable exploration of Norway’s Arctic wilderness - no matter the season, the magic is always here.
Additional Information
Our primary itinerary takes us towards Sommarøy, passing through Ersfjordbotn and Nordfjordbotn. However, our experienced guides continuously assess the conditions and, if necessary, may adjust the journey towards Grøtfjord to enhance the experience. In the case of unfavorable weather along the coast, we will shift the tour inland towards the picturesque Laksvatn fjords, ensuring a more enjoyable adventure.
