Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Spend the day on the Sommarøy Archipelago exploring the fishing villages, relaxing on wild islands, and spotting Arctic wildlife!
Your day will begin directly at your accommodation, where your guide will pick you up in their Mercedes V-Class before heading to the island of Kvaløya, 30 minutes away from Tromsø city centre. A mountainous island, Sommarøy boasts stunning natural scenery and a beautiful coastline. In the summer, the endless rays of sunshine are particularly bright on its western coast.
During the day, you will visit the Sommarøy Archipelago, including some of its cute coastal fishing villages. You will also walk around the wilder parts, keeping an eye out for the archipelago's biodiversity. Kvaløya is home to 2 large reindeer herds which roam freely in the summer, along with the more evasive moose, and migratory sea birds. As you hike along the coast, direct your attention to the water, as harbour porpoises and seals may grace you with their presence as well!
These so-called "Summer Islands" are definitely a must to discover. During this relaxed day, your guide will help you uncover all its secrets, from the turquoise waters to the richness of Sami culture. Groups remain small with a maximum number of 6 participants, allowing you to go at your own pace and personalise the experience to suit your needs. Book now for a happy day of walking, wildlife observation, berry-picking, and that oh-so-lovely Norwegian Summer culture!
