Good wildlife trips fill up weeks ahead, and in a short northern season the great ones go first. Below: the 11 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Kayak Tromsø’s winter fjords with drysuits, expert guides, and chances to see seals, eagles, and seabirds, then warm up by the fire.
“very nice! The guide was sympathetic and he is a really good storyteller”
Tromso snowshoeing for small groups with fjord and mountain views, wildlife chances, included lunch, and guide photos, with city pickup.
“Great day out. Our guide Anete was great. Unfortunately the weather was bad so we didn't get to do the valley/fjord view hike and went to a forest I stead which was a shame.”
RIB wildlife cruise from Svolvær into Trollfjord for a shot at sea eagles and seals, with dramatic fjord scenery.
“Great excursion with a very knowledgeable and passionate guide. He made bird noises to get the eagles to come closer to our boat. It was fantastic to see these birds in action.”
Small-group Tromsø fjords and wildlife tour with warm thermal suites, hot drinks, and a chance to spot wild reindeer.
“What an amazing experience! Thank you so much! Breathtaking scenery. The tour has plenty of stops to take it all in. Even with the snowstorm around the weather is so fast changing that it clears and if it doesn't, then the tour guide kindly stops on the way back and you can have your second shot at a great photo capture. Highly recommend it!”
Six-hour small-group drive around Kvaløya and Sommarøy from Tromsø, with fjord viewpoints, Arctic wildlife chances, and lunch at Sommarøy.
“The guide was amazing, he answered all our questions and we did many different stops along the way so we could take loads of pictures.”
A guided Tromsø fjord adventure with Arctic wildlife-spotting, expert photo help, and a warm seaside lunch in a small group.
“Love it/ even when the weather wasn’t great/ how do I get the pictures though? Hopefully you can let me know”
Small-group fjord and wildlife safari from Tromsø to Kvaløya and Sommarøy, with photo stops and lunch, in English.
“Everything was great! Lots of information from Erik, and beautiful sites that we have discovered. The food was also great.”
Half-day wildlife and photo tour on Tromsø’s Kvaløya, led by local photographer guides, chasing fjord views and chances to see eagles and reindeer.
“An excellent way to find good spots for landscape & wildlife with an experienced photographer. The weather has a significant impact on the chances of really good images so this should be borne in mind when booking.”
Honningsvåg RIB safari to Kjelvik and Nordvågen with Arctic wildlife spotting, fish factory access, and possible whale sightings.
“The fish factory took too much time We were lucky to see some whales Otherwise not much content”
A 2-hour wildlife RIB safari from Ålesund to Runde Fuglefjell, with a small group, thermal gear, and real bird spotting.
“This was the highlight of our trip! It was definitely a thrill ride!! We saw eagles, seals and a salmon hatchery! I would definitely recommend it! The boat captain was great!”
Big-Bus fjord tour from Tromsø with toilet comfort, wildlife spotting, pro photo tips, and a seaside lunch in 6 hours.
“Good way to see the fjords and islands around Tromso. A little too long spent waiting for the slowest on the bus to take photos so this could have been managed a little better. Good informative guide and driver. Final stop at Hill Island was a nice touch, although the hotel-prepared sandwich (loaded on the bus at the start) could perhaps be improved.”
Water, snow, sky and the towns in between.
