About the fjord cruise

Discover the majestic mountains, stunning fjords, and arctic wildlife outside the spectacular island of Kvaløya.

Throughout the trip, you’ll learn about the area’s history and wildlife. You’ll also get a chance to see the distinctive island of Håja, which inspired the design of the Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø. During the trips we often visit the scenic areas around Ersfjord, Skamtind, and Sommarøya. If you like, you could also be given the opportunity to try some fishing.

A warm meal with local specialties is included as well as coffee and tea together with a traditional dessert from the area.

Feel free to let us know what are the things you wish to see and experience. The trip can be customised to suit you and your group.

The trip start at Lauklines (Vasstrandveien 578, 9108 Kvaløya). We also offer pick-up in Tromsø.

The different seasons

Each season has its own unique charm. Winter brings snow-covered landscapes and magical winter light. Spring awakens nature, with longer, brighter days. Summer offers the midnight sun and vibrant wildlife, including puffins. Autumn showcases stunning colors in nature and breathtaking sunsets.

Wildlife

During the trips, we get to experience the local wildlife. Sea eagles and various marine birds are a common sight all year round. On most trips, we also spot porpoises, seals, and otters. If we’re really lucky, we might catch a glimpse of larger whale species. In the summer, thousands of marine birds nest in the area, including the charismatic puffins.

Photography

This is a fantastic experience for photography enthusiasts as we get extremely close to the elements. Throughout the trip we will take stunning photos and we are always glad to share them with you afterwards.

Respectful with nature

We have been part of the team developing rules and guidelines for wildlife watching in Tromsø, and of course follow them during our midnight sun fjord cruises.
