About Tromsø Explorer
Tromsø Explorer is a local tour company based in Tromsø, specializing in private tours for guests who prefer to explore with their own group. We offer private fishing tours by open and cabin boat, Northern Lights tours and sightseeing tours around Tromsø and Sommarøy. Our focus is simple — personal service, flexibility and well-organized experiences adapted to your group and the conditions on the day.
Tromsø Explorer is also registered as a tourist fishing business in Norway, allowing us to provide the required documentation for guests who want to export part of their catch.
What Tromsø Explorer Is All About
Tromsø is surrounded by fjords, mountains, islands and open sea, so many experiences begin just outside the city. Fishing has long been part of life in Northern Norway, while the surrounding landscapes offer different ways to explore the region throughout the year.
This is where Tromsø Explorer focuses our tours. We take guests beyond the city on private fishing trips, Northern Lights chases and sightseeing tours around Tromsø. Because our tours are private, we can offer a more personal experience and adapt the trip to your group and the conditions on the day.
Our Mission and Values
Living in Tromsø means experiencing the Arctic through changing seasons, weather and conditions. There is always something different to see — from the Northern Lights and winter landscapes to long summer days, fjords and the open sea.
Our goal is to share these experiences through private tours while keeping our approach personal and responsible. We respect the places we visit, reduce unnecessary waste and aim to leave as little impact as possible.
At the same time, we keep our tours small and private. This allows us to spend more time with each group and provide an experience that feels relaxed rather than rushed.
Meet the Tromsø Explorer Team
Tromsø is our home, and we enjoy sharing the places and activities that are part of life here. As a small local company, we meet our guests personally and aim to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere from the beginning of the tour.
Our team has experience in guiding, fishing and outdoor activities around Tromsø. Safety and good communication are important on every tour, while the private format allows us to give each group more individual attention.
