A nice trip - A very great trip. We saw beautiful fjords of Kvaloya and sunrise. All the places are good for taking photo. The all white atmosphere let us feel and enjoy the Arctic winter. The driver and guide, JJ, was a very nice guy and shared a lot of local messages. We are very satisfactory to the tour.

A perfect tour for scenery lovers! - My partner and I were looking for something to do on our last day in Tromso and this trip really looked promising so we decided to go for it, and we’re so pleased we did!
We had mostly stayed within the city so it was lovely to be able to get out a bit further and see some fantastic Norwegian scenery and wildlife that we otherwise would have missed out on.
Our group was small which really allowed us to bond and share some stories and some great holiday tips. Everyone was really friendly and cheerful and our fantastic guide was chatty, full of enthusiasm and local knowledge and encouraged us to have fun and enjoy ourselves.
We were lucky enough to see reindeer, lots of birds and even adorable sea otters playing and hunting fish. The weather was also decent, with some amazing colours and cloud formations to give our (very amateur!) photography a boost. We also didn’t go hungry or thirsty and were offered hot chocolate and delicious ginger biscuits en route, and we stopped at a cafe with the most incredible views I’ve ever seen.
As an extra bonus, our guide was very helpful and more than happy for us to pop our luggage in the cars trunk, and even dropped us off close to the airport on the way back in to Tromso.
All in all, an amazing end to our holiday and we would absolutely recommend it to everybody. We’ll be talking about it for a long time to come!

A dream for nature lovers - This area up here is still very pristine and far less touristy than the Lofoten Islands, which we really liked on our road trip across Scandinavia to the Northern Cape. Picturesque coves, countless waterfalls, reindeer herds, glaciers and midnight sun. Norway is truly a dream.

Discover the Fjords with Peter - This might have been my favorite memory of the trip and it was not only because of the stunning views of the fjords, but because of our guide Peter. He managed to create the most memorable and fun experience of the trip. He was amazing as a guide and easy to talk to and I will definitely consider him a friend after this excursion. He offered so much advice on Norway and traveling and talked about real life and it was just so nice and refreshing. Would book 1,000 times again to get Peter as our guide and I highly recommend the tour in general. The views were stunning and the food was delicious.

Phenomenal experience! - I cannot say enough positive things about the Green Adventure team! We did two tours with them and they were phenomenal.
We went on a Fjord minibus tour with Anna and it was such a fun day!! Anna was amazing and each stop got better and better! Anna's personality is so fun and it really carried into the entire experience. Our group became great friends throughout the day, we saw stunning views of the fjords, traveled to beautiful villages, and we didn't want the day to end. I truly cannot recommend this company enough. Everything they do is so personal and I am so grateful we booked 2 tours through them! Stop your search, and book with Green Adventure!
