The Tour in My Voice

Join me on an unforgettable adventure – a snowshoe hike and ice fishing trip in the pristine wilderness of Tromsø!

We'll start our journey by meeting at the pick-up point and make sure all the equipment fits perfectly. Then, we'll hop in the car and embark on a scenic 40-minute drive to a picturesque lake.

Once we arrive, we'll strap on our snowshoes and set off on a guided hike through the snow-covered landscape. The duration of the hike will vary depending on our pace and the conditions, but it typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes to reach our destination – a tranquil frozen lake nestled amidst the mountains.

Here, we'll experience the ancient art of ice fishing firsthand. With the help of traditional techniques, we'll drill through the thick ice, drop our lines, and wait for the fish to bite. If the fish doesn’t bite we move our holes around, change bate or try to “jigg” our bait. We'll gather around a crackling fire to warm up, enjoy some lunch, snacks and drinks, and share stories. Other then that you will get to experince the true calm and quite the snow covered landscape provides(honestly something for it self). Hopfully this quite will be interupted from time to time with the screems of “FISH ON!!!”

After spending a couple of hours on the ice doing our best to catch fish, we'll pack up and begin our journey back through the snowy wilderness. As we make our way back to the car, keep your eyes peeled for Arctic wildlife and marvel at the beauty of the surrounding flora and fauna.

By the time we return to your hotel, you'll have gained a newfound appreciation for the winter landscape of Tromsø, learned the art of ice fishing, and even possibly caught a fish for dinner(If you don't want it I will have dinner;). Plus, I'll be snapping photos along the way so you can cherish the memories for years to come.

So, lace up your shoes and join me for a day of adventure, exploration, and unforgettable experiences in the heart of Norway's winter wonderland!
