Discover the fjords of the Tromsø region on a minivan tour to the islands of Senja and Kvaløya. Welcoming adventurers from ages 9 and up!

Tromsø is a vibrant city located in northern Norway within the Arctic Circle. On this tour, you’ll travel from Tromsø to the beautiful nearby islands of Senja and Kvaløya. Both islands are known for their stunning and unique landscapes, with fjords, mountains, beaches, and fishing villages.

The tour begins at the starting point in Tromsø, where you’ll meet the experienced guide and board the 9-seater comfortable minivan. From there, the guide will begin driving from Tromsø to the island of Kvaløya, passing through the untamed Arctic wilderness. Kvaløya Island is home to numerous fjords and rugged mountains. The name ‘Kvaløya’ translates to ‘Whale Island’ in English, which reflects the area's rich marine life and history of whale hunting.

You’ll tour the incredible landscapes of the island’s northern fjords. As you drive, make sure to keep an eye out for the native wildlife, including sea eagles, reindeer, moose and otters. During the tour, you’ll stop for breaks to walk around the island and experience its scenic beauty up close. Then, you’ll embark on a ferry trip to the island of Senja.

Senja is the second-largest island in Norway, and is surrounded by several spectacular fjords, including Bergsfjorden, Ersfjorden, and Mefjorden. At Senja, you’ll stop to enjoy a delicious warm lunch in a peaceful setting beside the sea. Snacks, such as waffles and cookies, and hot drinks will also be served. At the end of the adventure, the guide will drop you back to your accommodation in Tromsø city centre or to the original starting point.

For an unforgettable experience in unique Arctic nature, embark on this minivan tour from Tromsø and explore the northern fjords of Senja and Kvaløya!

We enjoyed the tour very much. The guide was very friendly and enthusiastic, and there were many stops along the way where we could marvel at the beautiful landscapes and take pictures. Senja is beautiful, and we were very lucky with sunny weather. It was also nice we got to see a place that was pretty far from Tromsø without needing a rental car.
