What people are saying about Troms County

Admittedly, I was skeptical about this excursion because I had never ridden a snowmobile let alone driven one, but our guides were so wonderful and made it so easy that this experience became one of the best parts of our trip. Everyone was so nice and helpful and the guides were great with our two boys (8&10). The soup and bread at the end were perfect to warm us up after so much fun. And the scenery was breathtaking! I will never forget this trip and would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you Camp Troll!

The guide (Nicola) is very responsive. He drove us to a place where there are no clouds or fog. Meanwhile, the guide put much effort into choosing a location that is also beautiful. Even if you don't get the luck to see the northern light, you still enjoy the view a lot! If you are lucky, these places are perfect for photos. The company serves some food as well. The hot soup is very good, which warms you up during the cold winter night. Cookies and hot drinks are also available :)

The Introduction was good, funny guides, I was happy that the equipment saved me from the cold weather . Beautiful view and we got time to take pictures and one guid told us the story’s of the trolls. We were lucky because it was a clean view and new snow.

Well prepared, well executed, professional staff. Lots of fun., we were lucky with the weather

It's an excellent trip for us—fantastic views on the trip and friendly guides.
