Tromsø: Summer Fjord Road Trip with Citizen Science

Set out from Tromsø for an unforgettable summer road trip through Norway’s spectacular fjord landscapes. This immersive experience takes you west of the city to explore the wild beauty of Kvaløya, one of the country’s largest and most scenic islands, where dramatic mountains meet sparkling waters and peaceful villages dot the countryside.

As you travel, your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating insights about the native flora and fauna. Keep your eyes open for otters, reindeer, and seabirds as you soak in the tranquil atmosphere. The adventure includes a relaxing picnic surrounded by breathtaking views, with homemade food and hot drinks to keep you refreshed.

A highlight of this journey is your hands-on participation in a citizen science project.

The adventure lasts around four hours and is conducted in English, welcoming small groups for a more personal experience. Please note that hotel pickup is not included, and the tour begins at a central meeting point in Tromsø.
