Okay, wow, this fjord and islands trip near Tromso kinda BLEW my mind. Went with my partner, and we lucked out with blue skies (heard it can be pretty hit or miss). Our guide, Marta, was a real gem—super chill, answered all my weird questions about the local fish. The minibus was comfy, but heads up: if you’re tall, leg space might feel a bit tight on the long stretches. We stopped all over for photos—think glassy lakes, snow-dipped peaks, and even saw a group of reindeer off the road (Marta pulled over so we could gawk). Lunch was this creamy fish stew—yum if you like seafood, but one guy in our group was veggie and got a special soup, so that was cool. Only tiny gripe: bathroom breaks are rare, so plan ahead! All in all, felt like a road trip with friends more than a stiff tour. HIGHLY recommend if you want a real slice of Arctic Norway.

Brought my mom for her birthday (she’s obsessed with fjords, don’t ask). We had a group of 7, which I liked—not too big, not too small. Our guide, Lars, knew every mountain by name, lol. The only thing is, it got a bit chilly when we stopped for photos, so bring gloves even if it looks sunny. The scenery was STUNNING, especially that turquoise water near Sommaroy. We didn’t feel rushed at stops, but the drive back dragged a bit. Would still do it again, just maybe in summer next time.

Took my boyfriend for his surprise birthday trip and this tour was the highlight. The guide (can’t remember her name, sry!) was energetic and shared cool stories about local legends. We stopped at this tiny fishing village—felt straight outta a fairy tale. Loved the fish soup lunch, even got seconds. Pro tip: bring snacks for the road, the scenery will make u hungry. We even saw a little bit of aurora on the drive back!!
