are you ready for a private tour from Tromsø and visit Sommarøy island?
This tour is perfect for those who enjoy traveling in comfort and want to see the most beautiful sights around Tromsø. We’ll start in the city center and drive across Kvaløya, Norway’s fifth largest island, stopping at stunning viewpoints along the way.
As the highlight of the trip, we’ll cross a small bridge to reach Sommarøy – a true gem of the Arctic, known for its white beaches and clear blue waters. You’ll have time to walk along the shore, snap beautiful photos, and breathe in the fresh sea air surrounded by dramatic mountain views. Our guides will take you to the most stunning beaches of Sommarøy. We will also find a time for some warm local soup in the restaurant.
If you only have one day in Tromsø, this tour is the perfect way to see it all in a nutshell — the stunning fjords of Kvaløya, dramatic mountains, sandy beaches of Sommarøy, charming small villages, and with a little luck, even some Arctic wildlife.
Our road trip is full of surprises—keep your eyes open, and you might just spot reindeer wandering between houses! Along the way, moose, sea eagles, seals, and otters often appear near the roads—if you know where to look. Thanks to our local expertise, we’ll do our best to help you meet some of these incredible Arctic animals.
At The Green Adventure, we love observing wildlife—but always with respect. We don’t chase animals or disturb their space. Instead, we embrace peaceful coexistence, showing you how unforgettable nature experiences can happen in harmony with the wild.
We’re proud to lead by example in responsible tourism. That means no noise, no pressure on wildlife, and absolutely no plastic left behind. Join us and discover how meaningful and magical an eco-friendly Arctic adventure can be.
We are always happy to tell you more about norwegian culture and traditions. So you will learn why Sommarøy was first in the world time-free-zone.
Norwegian coast, especially Sommarøy, is beautiful at any time of the year, in all weather conditions. Even during polar night, there is enough light for spectacular photos. Like norwegian people say "there is no bad weather only inappropriate clothing", so we drive even if it's raining or snowing. Often during 5-hour tour we can experience all kind of weather, be ready for that and bring proper clothes. Welcome to Arctic!
