“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!”

“The guide and transport was great. The ice fishing with fake bait is more for fishing experience. Chances to catch a fish is low. The BBQ salmon & marshmallow was delicious. The ice-floating experience was great too. Worth a try. Though the water doesnt sip through, we could still feel abit coldness from the icy waters. Overall, it was a good experience.”
