Island hopping by bus and ferry along the National Scenic Route

Go for a wonderful day along the Norwegian coast, hopping from Tromsø island to Kvaløya island, to Senja Island, Norway. After 1,5 hour's drive from Tromsø, you hop on a local ferry crossing over to Senja, where the unique nature will dazzle you.

Along the way, there will be photo stops at Kattfjordeidet lake and Ersfjord beach – once chosen as the most beautiful beach in Norway. Time to stretch your legs here and take in the Arctic summer scenery. Keep your camera close.

The magic of Senja

You might wonder where is Senja located or what to do in Senja. As the second largest island of Norway, Senja has often been nicknamed “a Norway in miniature”, in Northern Norway, located southwest of Tromsø. On this tour, you will pass through many of the different types of wilderness and landscapes Norway has to offer. It is home to deep fjords, steep mountains, white beaches and a strong fishing culture. You will follow one of Norway’s 18 National Scenic Routes on the western outskirts of Senja. Join our photo stop at the scenic Ersfjord beach surrounded by majestic mountains and “decorated” with the gradually world-famous ‘Golden Toilet’.

Food: a tasting platter is included upon your arrival at Hamn i Senja. Dinner (not included) can be booked upon arrival. For your way back to Tromsø the next day, a food bag including a tasty vegetarian wrap and Arctic water is included. If you need more, we stop at the local supermarket in Skaland on Senja (13:35 on the way to, and 16:15 on the way back) - not open on Sundays.
