Tromsø Fjord Tour by Eco Tesla: 3 Fjords & Local Café Stop

Summary

Eco-Friendly Fjord Adventure from Tromsø: Kaldfjord, Ersfjord & Grøtfjord

You’ll get up close to three unique fjords around Tromsø in a comfy electric Tesla, with stories from a local guide and time to relax at a cozy seaside café. It’s an easy way to see wild landscapes without crowds or noise.

What’s the experience like?

Right after we left Tromsø, the city faded behind us and the road hugged the water’s edge. Our guide, Erik, kept things relaxed—he pointed out where reindeer sometimes wander close to the road (we didn’t spot any this time, but you could almost feel them nearby). The Tesla was so quiet that you could actually hear the wind rustling through the birch trees as we drove along Kvaløya. There’s something about that electric hum—no diesel smell, just crisp air and a hint of seaweed when we rolled down the windows near Kaldfjord.

We stopped at three different fjords—Kaldfjord first, then Ersfjord, and finally Grøtfjord. Each had its own mood. At Ersfjord, I noticed a couple of locals fishing off the rocks, chatting in Norwegian with their thermoses beside them. The light kept shifting—sometimes sharp and blue, sometimes soft with low clouds hanging over the peaks. Erik shared stories about how farmers used to row across these waters before roads were built. At Grøtfjord, we got out for a short walk on the pebbly beach; my boots crunched on bits of shell and I could smell coffee drifting from a house nearby.

Before heading back, we ducked into a small café perched above the shoreline—can’t remember the name, but they had fresh cinnamon buns and big windows facing the sea. I grabbed a coffee and just sat for a minute watching gulls swoop over the water. It was quiet except for our group’s laughter and someone’s spoon clinking against a mug. The whole trip felt easygoing—never rushed—and it was nice knowing we weren’t leaving any exhaust behind.
