Tour de Arctic Coast - E-bike and guide

Status:
On request

The Arctic coast tour from Tromsø to Svolvær is an adventure for those who like to discover the outdoors from a bicycle seat. You get close to the most incredible nature along the coast of Northern Norway.

Breathe in and fill your lungs with fresh sea air before setting out on a bike ride in an exciting and beautiful island landscape.

We start in lively Tromsø, the capital of Northern Norway and cycle towards Kvaløya with spectacular mountain views and the ocean right ahead of us, entering Sommarøy island.

After a short ferry trip we continue our journey on Norway`s second largest island, Senja, known as the fairytale island to many. The road winds through amazing and wild scenery, uphill and downhill, following the fjords and changing landscape.

At Andøya you get the contrasts between the white tempting beaches, green plains and inaccessible steep mountains. The last stage towards Svolvær offers a beautiful entrance view to Lofoten. 

Arriving Svolvær we have a farewell dinner at a nice restaurant sharing our memories from the trip. Our hotel is centrally located at the quay.
