Activity description
Embark upon a journey to Kvaløya Island for a day of sightseeing, wildlife sightings, and a delicious lunch, departing from Tromsø. Welcoming ages 7 and up!
Kvaløya, often referred to as "Whale Island," is a large island located in the Tromsø region of northern Norway. It is known for its stunning natural beauty and is a popular destination for both residents and tourists. In addition to Kvaløya's charming fishing villages, it is also renowned for the diverse species of wildlife that call this region home, including reindeer, moose, seabirds, and whales.
Your guided tour begins in Tromsø, where you and your group (a maximum of 7 participants) will be picked up by your experienced guide at the meeting point. You'll be whisked away to Kvaløya Island, taking in the magnificent scenery of coastal roads, snow-capped mountains, fjords, and beautiful beaches. Don't forget your camera, as wildlife sightings in this region are quite common. If you're lucky, you may even spot humpback whales or orcas, as they migrate through the fjords of this region.
Your first stop will be at the quaint Bryggejentene café and shop, where you can indulge in a delicious cup of coffee or tea in the historic building. Then, you'll head to Sommarøy. Its dramatic cliffs house birds such as puffins, guillemots, and cormorants. Sea eagles are also frequent in this area. The excursion continues with a stop at the Sommarøy Arctic Hotel, where you will be treated to a delicious lunch and sample local Arctic cuisine. Throughout the tour, your guide will share insights into the local culture and heritage of this region. At the end of the day, you'll return to Tromsø with memories that will last a lifetime.
