## Overview

- We often see reindeers during this trip, even thought we cannot guarantee it, as we will find them randomly on the wilderness. 
- You can choose to add a meal during checkin - it will be served at a local Norwegian restaurant in the island of Sommarøy 
- A great sightseeing road trip from Tromsø to experience the raw, wild nature of Northern Norway.
- This is your chance to discover what makes this region unique, including the stunning Arctic fjords, the dramatic coastline, and even a rare sandy beach, often dusted with snow. Your local guide will lead you through Tromsø's wilderness to the very best photo stops, sharing fascinating stories about the local history and culture that make this destination so memorable. To provide a personal experience, we aim to travel in small groups of 8-15 guests by minibus. However, please note that during the peak high-season, we may occasionally run with two groups together on a comfortable, larger coach to accommodate demand.

## Good to know

- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Specialized infant seats are available
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- We run the tour even in rainy/snowy days. This is because the weather can change a lot in micro-climates between the fjords and mountains, providing us sometimes stunning views.
- Bring warm clothes, even in summer.
- It can be slippery on the places where we stop.
- The guide may choose an alternative itinerary to the one presented in the description of the tour. This can happen due to road closures, avalanches, weather. We have designed alternative routes to accomplish the Fjord tour through Kvaløya regardless.
- This tour requires a minimum of 4 people. If we do not reach the minimum amount of people, we will team up with one of our partners that runs a similar tour. In case we still do not get a minimum of 4 people, or we decide to cancel due to bad weather, you will be offered to change your tour to another day or get a refund.
- The supplier will own full copyrights of any photo taken by us during our tours. They will upload photos of you to a third party web platform and monetize on the photos. They may also publish video footages of you. If you do not wish any photo of you to be published nor taken, please inform the provider, as well as your guide, before the tour and do not pose for the photographers.
- You cannot claim a refund related to any issues with the vehicle used in the activities, as this is a service provided by a 3rd party company. Claims need to be addressed directly to the transport company.
- Temperatures perceived inside or outside the vehicle may be higher or lower when compared to normal standards - due to multi-stop configuration.
- Visibility from inside the vehicle may vary depending on seating position and weather, which can affect window conditions (including fogging or rain). These factors are beyond the operator’s control and do not qualify for a complaint or a refund. Scenic stops are scheduled to allow guests to exit the vehicle and view designated viewpoints.
