“It was our last day in Tromso, and it exceeding our expectations! We had closed the Tromso chapter with an amazing memory, amazing views, experience and the people! We had chance to fishing in the fjords which might be unbelievable to imagine before. Didn't want to miss any moment, that's why we stayed outside the boat, and observed every corner in the landscape. And very lucky the weather was very bright, chill and warm.

4.Polar Fishing Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 341 reviews · 2 hours · from $136Best value

Join Polar Adventures for a two-hour fishing trip from Tromsø toward Hella and Tønsvik. You get a rod, tackle, insulated bodysuit, guide, hot drinks, and snacks. Guides such as Thomas, Roger, Paulo, Ken, and Kenny have helped beginners catch cod, pollock, coalfish, and Arctic cod, then cooked the catch aboard when conditions allow.

“Better than we expected! Caught huge cod. Stephanie helped us with everything and then filleted and cooked the fish for lunch. The scenery was beautiful even though the weather was cloudy and a bit wet. Boat was immaculate including kitchen and bathroom. Our cruise ship was parked a few miles from downtown and ran a shuttle back and forth which was fine. It would have calmed my nerves a bit to have the tour company pick us up at our cruise dock, however. Even though we started at 10, we were not sure we would make the shuttle at the correct time.”
