SEA KAYAKING & MOUNTAIN ADVENTURES
ArcticWild is a family run guide company. In the summer we run sea kayaking tours in the fjords and archipelagos around Tromsø and the island of Kvaløya. We also guide hiking tours up some of the more challenging peaks in the region.
We specialize in custom tailored sea to summit expeditions, working with small groups to ensure a good guide to klient ratio and high quality expeditions.
Sea kayaking courses and personal coaching at different levels along with all season day tours are also on our program. Our main goal is to promote a joy for outdoor experiences in a sustainable way.
When the midnight sun sets and the snow settles we run many of the same tours under the light of the aurora borealis, or the northern lights as many know them by.

This was one of our favourite experiences in Tromso. Organising the trip was super easy as Eivind replied quickly to emails and answered all the questions we had.
... read more /> On the day, we got the bus to Eidjkosen bus stop and Eivind was waiting to pick us up. He drove us to his house where we were given thermal and waterproof kayaking suits and gloves. The experience was amazing, and the views, and Eivind was a really great guide. He took pictures of us kayaking, didn't mind when we slowed down to take photos ourselves whilst kayaking, and was really chatty and friendly.
We stopped for hot chocolate on the shore half way through and got to see some wild reindeers! The kayaking was tiring but amazing, and Eivind adapted the tour to suit our abilities and we could kayak at whatever pace was best for us.
Would recommend this to anyone visiting Tromso!

It was fun and very easy to talk to him about anything really. And through everything you could feel his passion for what he is doing. That was beautiful. We felt very comfortable and well looked after during the entire activity. The equipment was top-notch so we didn't get cold or wet. It was one of those experiences where you would wish for time to slow down so you can linger in the moment a little longer. Again, thank you Eivind for being such a great guide and person overall. Best wishes to you and your family! Nhung and Thanh
