Tromsø Outdoor AS terms and conditions

STORE HOURS AND EQUIPMENT PICK UP

All ordered equipment shall be collected and returned within Tromsø Outdoor opening hours unless arranged otherwise in advance. You can find our opening hours on the bottom of our website and on your booking confirmation.

If you arrive on a public holiday or a weekend during the low season we recommend checking for the latest updates on opening hours.

If you arrive outside of our regular opening hours, we can deliver and/or collect equipment from hotels located in the city center (a fee of 100 NOK or 350 NOK for each collection and delivery applies).

Occasionally the rental center can be opened outside of normal store hours (service fee of 400 NOK applies). This needs to be arranged separately prior to your arrival.

PRICES

All prices are stated in Norwegian Krones (NoK). Prices for equipment rental cover the rental of the equipment only. You will need to collect and return the equipment to Tromsø Outdoor Activity and Rental Centre at Sjøgata 14, Tromsø, unless you arrange a delivery/collection (see above). Costs incurred with transportation of equipment to another site are not included in the rental price, and are to be paid as arranged.

Costs of damage, stolen, or lost equipment will be added to the rental costs in case equipment gets lost, stolen, or damaged.

ACTIVITIES

We require a minimum number of at least two participants on each tour, if there is only one person booked on the activity on a particular day or time we may have to cancel the tour. In this case we will offer a place on an alternative activity, a different day, or a full refund of the tour costs.

Given that they are all outdoors, our activities are weather dependent. In case we need to cancel an activity due to the weather conditions (eg. lack of snow) we will offer you place on an alternative activity or a full refund of the tour costs.

Please provide information about any allergy, relevant health conditions or special needs you may have when you make your booking.

Included in the price of a trip we provide equipment needed for the activity, but not the clothes.

You can rent clothes from us, but this needs to be arranged separately in time before the tour starts.

You need to meet at the start point latest 10 minutes before the departure.

Tromsø Outdoor liability insurance can be reviewed on request however you must be sure that your own insurance covers costs of the medical treatment or emergency services you may require during your holidays.
