About Explore the Arctic
We are a small adventure company with 20 years of experience in organising outdoor activities on Kvaløya and in the Tromsø area.
Over the years, we have developed and improved our tours, with an increasing focus on quality and personal service. Our experience and knowledge of the area help ensure memorable Arctic experiences.
During our tours, guests learn about the area, its history and wildlife. We provide high-quality clothing and all the necessary equipment. We also make an effort to visit good locations for photography, and any photos we take during the tour are included.
Since the beginning, we have focused on giving something back to our small community by involving local people and small businesses in what we do.
Being in nature is our passion, while photographing wildlife and spectacular natural phenomena is what drives us. Without this beautiful natural environment, we would not be able to do what we do. During our tours, we therefore share the importance of respecting and protecting our surroundings.
Let’s discover Northern Norway. Let’s Explore the Arctic.
