“What an incredible day!! First, the staff is top notch. They were all very friendly and helpful. We traveled with our five-year-old daughter and everyone was so gracious. 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.”
Travel from Tromsø to Ullsfjord, walk to the frozen fjord, and learn ice fishing with Karin, Oscar, or Jan. The five-hour trip includes gear, warm outerwear, transport, drinks, and a fish burger, followed by cooking your catch at a home or grill cabin facing the Lyngen Alps.

“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”
Set out from central Tromsø at 10:00 for a 3.5-hour sea safari with Big Boat. A small group of up to 12 fishes the nearby fjords, with patient instruction from Henry, a friendly crew, and brunch including fish soup.
“Friendly and experienced staffs. They went out of the way to find spots with a lot of activities so that we get to fish. The soup was delicious. The person who taught us how to fish was Henry, he was patient and gave clear instructions while teaching how to fish. The captain was an Argentinian, I forgot his name, but he was a responsible captain who tried switching a few locations to make sure we get to fish. I'll definitely recommend this to my friends.”
Join skipper Alvaro and guide Pepe for three calm hours on Tromsø’s fjords. Learn traditional line fishing, rotate through six rods, watch the sonar, and warm up with fresh fish soup. The ride runs in small groups of up to 12, with warm flotation suits supplied.
“No fish caught at all. Even for all of whole group. Plus, no aurora. Typically there's low possibility to catch a fish in winter, So do not expect to have abundant amout of fish. The guides were nice and friendly, but i wish to do another activities rather than this. Compare to another activities, and regarding the prices, it is not worth it.”
Sail from central Tromsø aboard a catamaran or replacement boat, learn basic fishing from skipper Per Ståle or another local guide, and try for cod. Your catch may become a hot fish soup on the return trip. Thermal suits, snacks, coffee, and tea are provided.
“While in Tromso to see the Northern Lights my daughter suggested we go fishing. I thought it would be too cold but once I saw the stay warm suits I was all in. We both caught fish (cod) and then the captain made us a wonderful fish stew/soup with it. I would go again and again if I had the opportunity.”

“We booked their 3 hour fishing charter. Unfortunate experience overall… if you have done fishing charters previously be advised this is not really a “fishing” charter. It’s a boat cruise… The good news is you travel”
Join guide Paulis for four hours of private Arctic fishing from Skattøra Marina. You get warm floating gear, rods, bait, snacks, hot drinks, and help with export papers if you take fish out of Norway. Expect a 20 to 40 minute boat ride and about three hours fishing.
