The guides made sure everyone was comfortable and safe. The pace was perfect, even for beginners. The hot meal by the fire after the ride was delicious. Would book again in a heartbeat!

If you visit Tromso, don’t miss this snowmobile tour
If you visit Tromso, don’t miss this snowmobile tour! The route through Tamokdalen was breathtaking, with snow-covered peaks and a real sense of wilderness. Sharing a snowmobile and taking turns driving was great fun, and the thermal suits kept us warm even at -15°C. A must-do in Tromso
