If you always wanted to try dog sledding but you are short on time, once in Tromsø, we can recommend you a 5-hour dog sledding tour, with transport from and back to Tromsø on our Tromsø Dog Sledding (starting time: 08:30). We offer you a early morning departure (08:30) as well as a later departure (11:30) to better address you schedule.
Reindeer tours
Are reindeer on your bucket list? Did you ever want to pet or feed them? Try reindeer sledding? That is also possible during the wintertime.
30 minutes approximately from Tromsø, we have our Sami Reindeer Feeding tour (lasting 4 hours, with transport from and back to Tromsø city center). You can also add the sled experience to that tour and try our Sami Reindeer Short Sledding. Both are at the same location, with the same provider.
Available until mid-April (check each tour to see full availability)
Go on a historical walking tour
This 2.5 hours essential walking tour will show you the secrets of the City of Tromsø and its century-long history, historical sites, but also statues, busts, and murals, telling stories of people who crafted their destiny in the Arctic. Admission to the Polar Museum is also included in this tour.
Available Wednesdays: From 10:30 to 13:00 Available Saturdays: From 15:00 to 17:30
Visit the Arctic Cathedral
Your Tromsø adventure should include a visit to the Arctic Cathedral. Known as Tromsdalen Church in Norwegian, this iconic structure is a symbol of northern Norway. Its angular architecture and unique glass mosaic make it a must-visit.
Mack’s Brewery: A taste of Norway
Head to Mack’s Brewery in downtown Tromsø, where you can learn about the beer-making process and sample beers named after famous rock musicians. Read more about this quick tour here.
Available Monday to Friday at 13:00 (lasting 1 hour)
Polaria: A unique Arctic experience
Polaria, an Arctic-themed experience center, is another place you should add to your itinerary. Here, you can learn about the Arctic’s wildlife and watch seals at play.
Opened daily from 10:00 until 16:00
Catch a view from the Cable Car
For panoramic views of Tromsø, ride the cable car to the top of Mount Storsteinen. The view from the top is simply breathtaking. The Cable Car should be on your bucket-list once in Tromsø.
Open daily from 10 am to 12 am
Chill at the Magic Ice Bar
At the Magic Ice Bar, you can sip on your favorite drink in a glass made of ice while surrounded by ice sculptures. It’s a cool way to end the day.
Open daily from 11:00 to 23:00 (00:00 on Fridays and Saturdays)
Small, short boat trip
We offer a 1-hour photo and history cruise (available daily from Tuesday to Saturday, starting at 09:50), where you get to see the surrounding landscapes of Tromsø in an historical wood vessel or, if you are into fishing, try our Fishing & Fjord Cruise (every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday, lasting for 4.5 hours, starting at 09:00).
Remember, no matter what you choose to do in Tromsø for a day, the important thing is to immerse yourself in the local culture and enjoy the unique Arctic experience.
Happy traveling!
