“Excellent trip overall. Just disappointed with the faulty thermal suit. The lights were spectacular!”
Ride from Tromsø to Camp Tamok for Ice Domes Snow Park, huskies and reindeer encounters, winter skills, tandem skiing, and hot camp food.
“This was such a great day out and our guide was so lovely. He took us to explore all over the camp, but was not pushy about how much time we wanted to spend in each spot. Our bus driver was a champion getting our ride to the camp even with iced roads! Definitely worth the trip!”

Winter sea kayaking near Tromsø in drysuits, with wildlife spotting, small groups, and hot drinks by the fire after 5 to 6 hours.
“Brilliant views and guides, super knowledgeable in instructing and it’s a beautiful area to kayak around for 2 1/2 hours. Our ticket included the bus from Tromsø and it was perfect to get back and forth. We got to see beautiful swans flying around the lake too!”
Guided cross-country skiing in Tromsø with skis, boots, and lessons included, plus scenic stops and a warm toddy snack.
“We had so much fun our guide was great! We went to a different location to normal but it was beautiful and a lot of fun (even if we weren’t very good!)”
Tromsø Arctic snowshoe hike: small-group 4 hours to Ersfjordbotn, with gear, hot drink, snacks, wildlife stops, and fjord views.
“The whole thing was amazing, felt like we were really in the arctic! Fabian was a fantastic crazy guide and made sure everyone was safe and felt good the whole way through. Highly recommend!”
Half-day winter fjord road trip from Tromsø to Kvaløya with scenic photo stops, warm drinks, light lunch, and Arctic wildlife time.
“Lukas was a brilliant guide who worked very hard to find us the best spots to see the fjords and local scenery. We were even lucky enough to spot some reindeer on the way back home.”
Cross-country skiing near Tromsø with beginner coaching, Sami lavvu warmth, and husky cuddles, with Lyngen Alps views.
“It was great and the guide was very helpful and friendly ☺️”
Advanced self-drive husky sledding in Tamok Valley plus a Tromsø Ice Domes Snow Park visit, warm gear, hot stew, and a small-group day.
“Fantastic experience. Long drive to the camp but worth it. Give suit and boots to keep warm and only in around a group of four sleds which was great. Clear instructions given and then had a long ride through wonderful countryside. Half way switch drivers. Get to interact with the dogs afterwards and before the ride as well. Hot meal given afterwards and then a visit to the snow park which was kind of cool. One of the most memorable experiences in Tromso.”
Drive your own snowmobile into Arctic valleys and lakes from Tromsø, then warm up in a lávvu and visit the Ice Domes Snow Park.
“The experience was good but very short. We did a break in a very beatiful valley to take some photos but in my opinion it was too much time. The guides were nice.”
Learn beginner cross-country skiing on Tromsøya with gear, transfer, and a cozy break with hot drink and lefse in small group.
“This was such an amazing activity. So glad we booked it!! The guide is so helpful and I had so much fun. We hope to come back and try out the trails because of it. Great tips and lessons and the ability to test them out. I loved it!!”
Daytime snowshoeing from Tromsø to Camp Tamok, campfire lunch, then Tromsø Ice Domes Snow Park to meet huskies and reindeer.
“Great experience snow shoeing in heavy snowy weather! The lunch by the campfire was nice and the guide super friendly.”
Guided snowshoe walk on Tromsøya Island from central Tromsø. Snowshoes, poles, hot drink and lefse, plus easy beginner terrain in a small group.
“Maria was great! Enthusiastic and helpful to explain what we were doing and seeing every step along the way. The only change I would make would be to make it an hour longer (3hrs). By the time we travelled to the site and donned our gear we had a little over an hour walk.”
4-hour Oslo winter hike to Vettakollen for sweeping Oslofjord views, snowy forest walking with spikes, and a cozy cabin stop.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the trek, along with 5 friends. There were ten of us all together. Our guide, Miles, was knowledgeable and fun, and I would very happily join him for another hike should I visit Oslo again. The hike itself was lovely- long enough without being overly strenuous, and we were treated to some lovely views. I’d thoroughly recommend both this hike, and Miles as your guide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
Winter cruise from Ålesund to UNESCO Geirangerfjord with Fjord Rangers, Flydalsjuvet views, Norsk Fjord Centre, and optional 327-step walk.
“Our guides, Ionnes and a lovely, kind woman from Germany, were knowledgeable and kind, sharing so much insight into the history and future of this unforgettable part of the world. Distinguishing highlights of this trip were some of the little things: the boat captain’s careful slowing of the craft to allow for careful observation of the Veil falls, and the delicious boxed ‘Geiranger “tapas”—thoughtfully and locally sourced tapas from the community there.”
Every kind of day out on this coast, and the best of each.
