Tips for Tromsø: excursions and accommodation

Hi there, I’m heading to Tromsø for a few days in March. I’d love to do a northern lights tour, go on a trip to see orcas, and learn more about Sami culture. Any excursions you’d recommend?

I’m also looking for info on local accommodation—Airbnb’s an option, but if you’ve got other suggestions, I’m all ears!

Thanks for your tips! :)

I’ll leave you my guide for visiting Tromsø that I wrote after my trip! I included tons of info and tips—plus some great accommodation addresses that’ll come in handy 🙂

Hi,

Thanks for the link—I’ll go through it carefully. Unfortunately, when it comes to accommodation, I’ve already found the list of "budget" hotels, but they’re either fully booked or really expensive in March. So, we ended up going with an Airbnb in the city center.

For everything else, I’ll check out your recommendations for things to do/see (aside from the northern lights, of course)!

Hello

For whale watching, it's too late. By March, they'll have left. We're also heading to Tromsø in March—I've booked a dog-sledding trip and a snowmobile tour.
