I am likely to be in Tromso for about 24 hours next month - arriving and departing in the early afternoon, so resurrecting this thread made sense.

The drive laid out seems like a good place to start - does anyone have any updates or new information that would be helpful? My SO is vegan, so that does make finding good and accommodating restaurants as part of the gameplan.

1. Leave Tromso around 2pm

2. Drive to Sommaroy, look around

3. Drive to Brensholmen (about 10 minutes from Sommaroy). [No more than 1 ½ hours from Tromso]

4. Ferry from Brensholmen. You just line up and drive on. Cost NOK 280. Ferry leaves at noon and 4pm (Sunday)

5. drive to the little seaside village of Hamm for lunch. [2 hours on from ferry]
Have meal at Hamn i Senja.

6. Drive down to Finnsnes [45 minutes from restaurant]

7. then took E6 back to Tromso. [2 hours from Fiennes]

Got home 11pm after 4pm ferry, drive, and meal

356 km, 6 hours 26 mins
