Highlights
During the trip you will learn about the history, landscape, small villages, fjords, islands and the unique wildlife of Kvaløya. You will get the chance to see the characteristic island Håja, which gave its shape to the Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø. Ersfjord, Skamtind and Sommarøya are other highlights. We get close encounters with the local wildlife, which can include whales, seals, otters, sea eagles, puffins, and many other arctic bird species. We stop several times during the trip to enjoy the scenery and take photos. If you like, you could also be given the opportunity to try some fishing.

This is a fantastic experience for photography enthusiasts as we get extremely close to the elements. Throughout the trip we will take high quality photos and we are always glad to share them with you afterwards.
