Tucked away in northern Norway, Troms County packs plenty of memorable tour options. Three standout experiences deserve special attention: The magical Midnight Sun Tour on Sommarøy Islands lets you witness the sun that never sets – a true Arctic spectacle. The North Cape Winter Tour earns high marks for its well-organized journey to Europe’s northernmost point, complete with informative exhibits. I’m especially fond of the Arctic Nature Tour around Kvaløya, where you’ll spot wildlife against a backdrop of dramatic Norwegian landscapes.
The winter tours here run like clockwork, and local guides really know their stuff. While summer visitors get endless daylight, winter travelers often catch the Northern Lights – a fair trade-off in my book.
Let’s explore the top tours that make Troms County a year-round destination.
