Get ready to get up close and personal with the nature of Norway on this spectacular day tour of the varied beauties of the island of Kvaløya. This tour is for any lover of natural marvels looking to experience the wildlife and wonders to be found in this mosaic scenery of the great outdoors.
Setting out from Tromsø, your expert tour guide will take you on a nature safari through the different sights of Kvaløya and its magnificent coastal scenery. The island is a mountainous one, being home to at least ten mountains whose peaks reach higher than 700 metres, including three that climb above 1000.
The island is known for being fair-weathered, but this is a winter tour in Scandinavian terrain so make sure to dress warmly for your adventure. Perhaps more important is that you bring your camera, for this tour is a proper photo safari for any nature photography enthusiast.
You will explore Ersfjord and its sharp coastal peaks, the great mountain of Kattfjordeidet and the charming village of Hillesøy, before venturing across the bridge to visit the neighbouring island of Sommarøy.
All the while, your tour guide’s acquaintances in the local communities are a prime aspect of your trek, providing you with a glimpse of the local island life. During your over-four-hour hike, you will stop at occasions to enjoy the complimentary snacks and beverages in good company.
Hopefully, you will have the pleasure and privilege of encountering some of the residential wildlife of the area, as the island is home to roaming reindeer and white-tailed eagles, as well as the orcas and humpback whales that live in the surrounding sea and venture close to the coast to feed in the fjords.
Your journey is attentively crafted to bring you close to nature and provide you with numerous wonderful photo opportunities in this unique coastal community. Don’t miss out on this memorable day filled with natural wonders. Check availability by choosing a date.
