About Snowmobile Excursion in the Lyngen Alps from Tromsø.
Super fun on the snowmobiles for several hours in such a beautiful landscape with several stops providing scenic views of the mountains - breathtaking! Great equipment and they had all the cold weather gear/clothing we needed to stay warm. Had a delicious locally homemade soup in the beautiful wooden hut afterwards. The journey there was also a scenic drive in the bus followed by a short trip on the ferry across the fjord where we got picked up straight away by our guide with only a 3 min drive to Camp Troll. Though I had been worried the journey might be quite long, it was actually part of the experience it all worked seamlessly and totally worth it to reach the beautiful Lyngen Alps.

About Arctic Fjord Cruise from Tromsø.
The guides were very nice and professional. We have learned a lot about the fjords and the fishing activities of Norway. The boat sailed very smoothly.

About Intermediate Self-Drive Dog Sledding Excursion from Tromsø.
The activity was long enough for 2 people to guide the dogs for about 30 minutes each over moderately flat terrain with only a few hills.
