The tour departs from Tromsø city center at 10:15 AM. Sit back and enjoy a picturesque drive to our camp in Breivikeidet, a stunning valley surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes, forests, and fjords. Along the route, you'll experience some of the most beautiful scenery Northern Norway has to offer.
