4.Arctic Wildlife & Fjord Sightseeing Tour by Car

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 224 reviews · 6 hours · from $220

Small-group fjord drive from Tromsø with Kvaløya and Sommarøy stops, Arctic Hotel lunch, and real chances to spot wildlife.

“A good five stars! Weather was extremely bleak when we started the journey but we managed to see several animals - eagles, seals and reindeer. It was a chill and relaxing ride with only 6 pax. We saw some other tours with bus loads of people - that meant you can’t quite stop to see things along the way. Stefan drove us all safely despite the weather conditions and even introduced us to some Norwegian music along the way. Lunch was decent, had a choice between the menu and buffet options. Do note that the lunch venue at the hotel was the only toilet break!”
