Your Tromso Guide
Discover Norway’s Arctic beauty with a scenic fjord tour from Tromsø to Sommarøy. Experience stunning landscapes, wildlife, and local culture in this unforgettable Arctic adventure.
Your Tromso Guide is a local tour operator based in Tromsø, Troms, offering guided small-group experiences that showcase Arctic landscapes and phenomena. The company operates two main tours: a Fjord Tour to Sommarøy and a Northern Light Chase with Professional Photographer.
The Fjord Tour to Sommarøy departs Tromsø and travels across Whale Island to the village of Sommarøy. Guests visit scenic viewpoints, hear stories about local culture, and experience seasonal light — the midnight sun in summer and the soft Arctic twilight in winter. This tour highlights coastal fjords, island scenery, and accessible viewpoints suitable for curious explorers.
The Northern Light Chase with Professional Photographer runs from Tromsø in a cozy minivan limited to eight participants. The tour seeks dark-sky locations away from city light pollution and includes a campfire, snacks, and hot chocolate while waiting for the Aurora. A professional photographer accompanies the group to provide photography guidance and deliver images captured during the chase.
Tours are designed for travelers seeking guided outdoor experiences near Tromsø. Scheduling follows seasonal conditions: long daylight in summer for the fjord tour and darker winter evenings for aurora chases. Operated from Tromsø, Troms, the programs focus on local landscapes, cultural stories, and photographic opportunities. Travelers can choose between a coastal fjord exploration to Sommarøy or a focused Aurora chase with professional photography support.
Bookings are subject to seasonal schedules and local weather conditions; availability varies by time of year. Travelers should check tour dates and bring appropriate clothing for Arctic conditions and footwear.
