The ship only harbour in Tromsø for a limited time going south, so this can be a quick way to see the seaside and south end of Tromsø. Going through the city you pass along the wharf close to the sea and through some residential areas.

As you get closer to Sydspissen, you bike on a very pleasant gravel walking path. It is narrow and popular for pedestrians, but usually it´s not many people out walking around midnight.
