Experience the Best of Arctic Landscapes & Wildlife — Privately
Join us on a breathtaking private journey across Kvaløya and Sommarøy — two of Northern Norway’s most spectacular coastal regions. This tailored scenic adventure combines wildlife spotting, dramatic fjords, white-sand Arctic beaches, towering mountains, and a delicious local lunch, all enjoyed at your own pace.
Scenic Coastal Drives
From the moment we leave Tromsø, the scenery becomes extraordinary.
Travel comfortably in a private vehicle along winding coastal roads surrounded by:
Majestic fjords
- Snow-covered mountains
- Pristine beaches
- Crystal-clear Arctic waters
With a private guide, we take the time you want at each stop — stepping out for photos, quiet moments, and panoramic views whenever it suits you.

Kvaløya is one of the region’s best wildlife areas.
During your private journey, keep an eye out for:
- Reindeer grazing near the roadside
- Moose moving quietly through the forest

Every day is different — and your guide adapts the route to maximise opportunities.
