2.Tromsø: Arctic Fjord Cruise & Fishing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 464 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $156Top rated

Set out from Tromsø at 10:00 for a five-hour fjord cruise with Polar Adventures. Your guide points out sea eagles, dolphins, and other wildlife while you fish for cod from a classic wooden boat. Thermal suits, fishing gear, hot drinks, cookies, and fish soup are included.

“I'd never been fishing before but wanted to give it a go, plus this tour is effectively a cruise through the fjords with fishing as an optional bonus. You get unlimited hot drinks and biscuits plus a delicious fish soup, there's comfy seats inside where it's warm and space to stand outside where it's cold but amazing views, so it's worth it. Saw white tailed sea eagles too! I managed to catch an unidentified orange blob on my first try with the rod, which may be a new species. The crew are really friendly and also provide some commentary along the way. Highly recommend this tour.”
