Discover Senja’s dramatic west coast, and Arctic scenery.
Discover Senja’s dramatic west coast, iconic viewpoints, and Arctic scenery on a guided journey along the National Scenic Route to Tromsø.
A scenic journey along Senja's dramatic west coast, including the National Scenic Route and a stop at the Bergsbotn viewpoint with its 44-metre panoramic platform. The tour also features a ferry crossing to Kvaløya with Arctic coastal views, and beautiful fjords, mountains and rugged Arctic landscapes.
Senja is known for its rugged landscapes, dramatic mountains and clear coastal waters, offering some of the most spectacular scenery in the Arctic. Join us on a journey along Senja's dramatic outer coastline, where sea and sky meet in a breathtaking Arctic landscape – a place where steep mountains rise straight from the ocean, small fishing villages cling to the shoreline, and the scenery changes around every corner.
The tour is operated in small groups with only 7–8 guests in each vehicle, creating a personal and relaxed atmosphere throughout the journey. Your driver and guide for the day is an experienced local guide with strong ties to Northern Norway and the Arctic, sharing stories, local knowledge, and insight into the landscapes and everyday life in the north along the way. A lunch box from the ship is provided and can be enjoyed in the vehicle whenever you prefer.
Among the highlights are Bergsbotn, where a 44-metre panoramic platform offers impressive views over the Bergsfjord and surrounding mountains, and Tungeneset – a universally accessible walkway made from Siberian larch leading out onto the rocky shoreline with views towards the iconic Okshornan peaks. If we are lucky, we may also spot reindeer, seals, white-tailed eagles or moose along the route – but spectacular scenery and towering mountains are guaranteed throughout the journey.
From Senja's western coastline, the journey continues by ferry to Kvaløya, surrounded by stunning Arctic coastal scenery. On board the ferry, you can buy refreshments such as coffee and waffles. From Kvaløya, you are driven directly to the ship, which is docked in Tromsø city centre.
With fjords, mountains, fresh sea air and a peaceful atmosphere, Senja and Kvaløya offer an authentic glimpse into one of Northern Norway's most unique and spectacular natural regions.
The first restroom stop during the drive will be around 13:00, and there are also restroom facilities on board the ferry. Please note that restroom facilities along the route are basic and primitive. On some days the ferry may be full. If this is the case, the alternative is to drive from Senja to Tromsø, which takes approximately 3 hours. *The tour will arrive in Tromsø between 16:00 and 18:00, depending on the ferry departure. Your guide will confirm the exact time on the day of the excursion.
