Itinerary
The Telegraph Bay is a beach and a popular park area on the southwest tip of Tromsøya in Tromsø. The place is ironically referred to as "Tromsø Gran Canaria". In the summer, the beach sometimes boasts double-digit bathing temperatures. The park is located near the Tromsø Museum.
The Arctic University Museum of Norway. Marvels of northern nature and stories of northern people.
Prestvannet is a scenic area on top of Tromsø Island. The prestige water and surrounding parkland are a hiking destination in Tromsø, summer and winter. The water has a rich bird life with ducks, gulls, and other birds, and because of this, parts of the water are protected during nesting time. The water is located on Tromsøya, 96 meters above sea level, and covers about 75 acres.
The Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden is a colorful oasis located in the Northern part of the Tromsø island where you can enjoy some relaxing time away from the city noises. The garden exhibits alpine plants and flowers from all continents, even some that usually grow in attitudes of 7000 MSL.
The oldest house in Tromso, built as a customs station in 1789, is surrounded by smaller houses. The foundations are the remnants of mediaeval fortifications, possibly from the 13th c., which today appear as a small park.
Housed in a very distinctive building that represents ice floes that have been pressed up on land by the rough seas of the Arctic, you will discover Polaria.

Had a great day with Espen. The e-bikes are top of the line and really made the ride enjoyable. I especially loved the ride along the coast and on the bike paths.
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🚴♂️✨ We’re so glad you enjoyed the day with me and that the e-bikes made the ride extra fun and comfortable. The coastal ride and bike paths are some of our favorites too – we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon! ❄️💙
Fantastic tour hosted by a life long resident. Absolutely wonderful on great new e-bikes. Any easy ride that allowed one to see the real people and town.
Espen was our guide and he did a very good job showing us the highlights of Tromsø. The new Specialized electric bikes drove perfect and with a small group of only 8 participants (max) it was a very positive experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Greetings from a tourist from The Netherlands Eric
Eirik was our guide. He is with Legendary Expeditions who provided the service through Trip Advisor. We were on a cruise with a bike excursion. It filled quickly leaving us searching for another bike trip. From all accounts ours was the better buy and quality experience. There were your of us. Eirik provided a personal experience and was knowledgeable of all we saw. The ride lasted over 3 hours and provided beautiful memories! We even received an option for pick up and drop off at our ship.
