Tromsø
Fjords Tour of Kvaløya and Sommarøy
Join us on a scenic drive to beautiful Sommarøy, with photo stops, fjord crossings, and a delicious seaside lunch. The tour offers stunning views and the chance to spot reindeer in the wild — a trip suitable for everyone!
This tour is conducted by Tromsø Accessible Tours.
The tour starts at the meeting point in Tromsø city centre. From there, we will drive west, crossing the bridge that connects Tromsø to the majestic island of Kvaløya.
During this trip, we will cross three fjords and drive across the valley of Kattfjordeidet. There will be short stops to take photos and experience nature. Sometimes, we may see reindeer and other animals roaming freely.
The destination is the breathtaking island of Sommarøy, "the Summer Island." There, we will enjoy a warm lunch at the Sommarøy Arctic Hotel.
On the return journey, we will take the road along the southeast coast of Kvaløya. During this drive, we can enjoy views of the Sund and the mountains of Malangen.
The tour concludes at our original meeting point in Tromsø city centre after approximately five hours.
