“Fantastic experience! My partner and I did the snowshoe hiking while it was snowing and it was an incredible experience. The two tour guides we had were very nice and considerate. We love hiking but since Tromso was full of snow, we couldn’t go on a long hike. Instead, we opted for snowshoe hiking and I 100% recommend this. 10 out of 10! Also, the huskies were incredibly cute and friendly, and quite energetic!”
