This museum shows also the importance of the fishing industry, the old way of fishing and today's way of fishing. It has drastically change a lot.

“It was a wonderful tour .. led by a local - Knut. Very knowledgeable and friendly and was able to give us an insight into the history, culture and current overview of Tromso. The Polar Museum tour was an eye-opener for us and Knut easygoing nature makes it easy for us to ask questions about Tromso and learning so much about Tromso as a whole. It was a nice and pleasant experience. Personally for us, ask for Knut when choosing this Tour.”
Meet a real Sea Sami guide in kofte at Full Steam Museum, hear joik music, and visit Northern Light and Seafarer exhibits.
“We waren 10 minuten voor deze activiteit aanwezig maar onze gids was nergens te zien en er was ook niemand aanwezig om ons te helpen. We hebben nog 20 minuten gewacht en zijn dan vervolgens naar het restaurant geweest om te vragen als zij ons konden helpen. Een vriendelijk meisje van de bar heeft toen voor ons gebeld en na enkele telefoontjes bleek dat er een misverstand was en dat de gids niet zou komen. We kregen wel ons geld terug maar door het koers verschil verloren we nog 8 euro. Een enorme ontgoocheling en dus zeker geen aanrader. We hadden de indruk dat deze uitstap al maanden niet meer…”
