Beautiful fjords and beaches - I booked this tour at very short notice as a similar tour I had booked got cancelled due to the minimum amount of participants not being reached. This tour was great. Therewas only 3 of us in the group, and Erik was our guide and photographer. He took us to beautiful fjords in Kvaløya. There was a bathroom/coffee stop later in the morning. We stopped at a restaurant by the beach at Sommarøy, where we had lunch (lunch is included). Erik provided us with interesting information about the fjords, and life in Norway, throughout the excursion. We were lucky to see some reindeer roaming about. Unfortunately, I slipped on some ice and broke my lens filter and Erik helped me getting rid of the bits of glass, and was concerned for me and my camera. He tried to remove the filter ring, but wasn't able to (neither was I). Thankfully, only the filter got damaged, and I was able to use the camera and the lens without the filter during the rest of my Norwegian visit. I recommend this excursion if you are interested in seeing some fjords, and take photos of amazing scenery.

Fjords sightseeing with a personal touch - We booked this tour on very short notice, and we are glad we did so! The tour includes several stops on Kvaløya island, where you can admire the beauty of the Fjords. And a tasty lunch on Sommarøy island. Our guide, Steffen, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The nature is amazing, and we took plenty of pictures. We were lucky to also catch a herd of reindeer on the way!!

Authentic personal tour - Excellent tour. Stefan was a thoughtful and interesting guide, a pleasure to spend a day with him. He took us to spots away from the usual tourist trail and was happy to stop for photos. Delicious traditional fish soup option at lunch. We were fortunate to see 4 otters, 2 reindeer and a sea eagle!

Incredible tour - We did the fjord tour with Espen, and it was incredible! The warm, comfortable van took us to stunning spots, and Espen shared fascinating insights about Norway and Sami culture. The highlight was the campfire at the "Arctic Caribbean."

Amazing landscapes - Our guide Stefan was very knowledgable and we learned a lot about the local area and people. He made best use of the limited daylight to show us the impressive landscapes and also some wildlife. A must for nature lovers.

Great experience! - We had a great experience! Even with a very cloudy and windy day we saw so many beautiful sights. Our guide Steffan was great! The Fjords were amazing, saw a lot of reindeer on the way back, and had many options for the included lunch stop.

Professional, Trustworthy Tour Guides - Fantastic tour, great communication with company from the start. Catered for my problem with painful hip by collecting us from the ship, dropping us off and reserving a front seat for me in the car. Enthusiastic tour guide, careful driving, fantastic views, coffee stop and including a tasty lunch. Reindeer and beautiful scenery. Great job. Highly recommend this company

Beautiful fjords - This tour was overall a nice experience. We were in a small group. Our tour guide was really nice and helpful. He tried to give as many opportunities to get some nice photos of the beautiful fjords and wildlife. Unfortunately, there was not much wildlife to see. We were lucky enough to see couple of reindeers, but other than that, not much. We were hoping to see more. We had enough breaks. We stopped in a cafe to have a nice Norwegian pastry and later for a nice lunch in Sommarøy (included). We were also hoping to see more of this picturesque fishing village. The tour guide and organization were very good. For the price, however, we would expect a bit more.
