The Captain let her sit in the first mate’s chair in the Captains Quarters! The views of the fjords were stunning and the wildlife - white tailed eagle and red foxes - were majestic in their natural habitat. The fishing was wonderful! Almost everyone who wanted to fish caught a fish! One the way back we enjoyed delicious fish soup! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a little adventure and some picturesque views of Tromso’s landscape!”

“It was a nice experience. At the first spot, I was the only one who caught two fish: one pollock and one small cod. Then we tried two other spots, but no one caught anything. In the end, we went back to the first spot, and I caught a decent cod, but I also lost one. Here, almost everyone caught decent sized cod. Thanks to Cristina, who cooked the fish for us; it was delicious.”

“Do you expect to fish when you pay for a 3 hour fishing trip? Us too, but unfortunately we only had about 5 minutes of fishing on the wrong side of the boat. We were told everyone couldn’t have a rod because we could only fish on one side of the boat, totally understand that. There were 3 groups, 2 groups of 4 and myself and friend (group of 2). The other 2 groups each got 2 rods (4 rods total) and we were left sitting there, they didn’t acknowledge us, didn’t tell us what was going on or when we would rotate rods. After 10 minutes, I asked if…”

“This was really a great half day. The main guide is fantastic. He told us a lot of interesting facts throughout. The experience was well organised. After about an hours driving we arrived at a frozen lake. We took part in drilling the holes and setting up the camp. Then did the fishing. One boy caught two trouts, no one else did but we were very happy nonetheless. This is a great experience that I would recommend. This is not something you can do very often”
Pick a coast, a lake, or a hole in the ice.
