Get a taste of Northern Norwegian farm life!

Experience authentic farm life in the Tromsø region! Whether you're travelling with children, friends, or as a couple, farm visits offer great experiences for people of all ages. Get up close with the animals, cuddle with huskies, enjoy fresh air, and taste local delicacies.

At Yggdrasiltunet on Kvaløya, about 50 kilometres from Tromsø city centre, you can interact with a variety of animals and enjoy a substantial dose of fresh country air. The whole family can delight in close encounters with sheep, goats, horses, and chickens, while sampling homemade products such as jam, honey, and cheese.

Beautifully located by Balsfjord, about an hour’s drive from Tromsø, Nordre Hestnes Gård offers an authentic taste of farm life in Northern Norway. Surrounded by mountains and fjord landscapes, the farm invites visitors to experience organic farming up close – from meeting and feeding animals to learning about local food production. Simple, homemade meals made with seasonal ingredients are served in the cosy farm café, where you can also buy farm products. The peaceful setting makes it ideal for Northern Lights experiences without light pollution, while summer visitors can enjoy fishing from the farm’s own pier. Horse riding on calm Icelandic horses, guided Northern Lights safaris and accommodation with sauna access complete the experience, making Nordre Hestnes gård a welcoming stop for families and anyone curious about rural life in the north.

For animal lovers, it's also possible to visit one of the region's many dog yards for puppy cuddles and wagging tails. A sure winner, regardless of the season.
