The Tour in My Voice

This adventure combines two of the north’s greatest joys: mountain hiking and fishing. We’ll set out with light backpacks, taking our time along scenic trails as we move into Tromsø’s wilderness. The pace is relaxed, with space to enjoy the views, breathe the fresh air, and time to enjoy nature.

Our destination is a secluded lake, where we’ll try our luck with fishing poles and learn where to fish for the best chances. If fortune smiles, you might pull up an Arctic char or trout from the crystal-clear water. By the lakeside, we’ll have lunch, maybe make a fire for the coffee, and wait for the fish to bite.

This is not about rushing or ticking boxes, it’s about slowing down, connecting with nature, and experiencing the simple life of being outdoors.

Itinerary

Morning Pick-Up in Tromsø
I will collects you at your hotel or custom location. We drive along the coastline, into the fjords to the mountain outside the city where we begin our hike.

Mountain Hike
We set out on foot along sheep trails or without any trail at all, taking 1–2 hours to reach the lake depending on conditions and our pace. Along the way, you’ll learn about local nature, wildlife, and traditions.

Fishing at the Lake
At the lake, we use fishing poles to try for Arctic char or trout. I’ll show you the techniques and let you try hands-on. Whether we catch or not, the experience is about enjoying and finding the calm of being outdoors.

Lakeside Lunch
By the water, we’ll make a have a meal next to a fire and make coffee on it. Other drinks are also included(tea, hot chocolate).

Return Hike & Drive Back
In the afternoon, we pack up and hike back, finishing the day with a scenic drive to Tromsø. The fish can either be brought home to cook or if you don’t care for the fish I am happy to eat it. I will give you the instructions on how to cook the fish.
