1. About This Service
MilesAway Exploration ("MilesAway", "we", "us") operates a digital travel assistant available at milesaway.no. The service is owned and operated by Knut, based in Tromsø, Norway.
The assistant provides travel information, recommendations and guidance about Tromsø and the surrounding Arctic region. The service is currently free to use.
2. AI-Powered Service
This assistant is powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Responses are generated by an AI language model guided by local knowledge and expertise provided by Knut and MilesAway Exploration.
While we strive to ensure the accuracy of information provided, AI-generated responses may occasionally contain errors, inaccuracies or outdated information. The assistant does not replace professional advice from qualified guides, medical professionals, legal advisors or other specialists.
Always verify critical information — including opening hours, prices, road conditions, weather and safety conditions — through official sources before making decisions.
3. Affiliate Links and Recommendations
MilesAway Exploration may include affiliate links to third-party services including tour operators, accommodation providers and activity booking platforms. When you book through these links, MilesAway may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
All recommendations are based on genuine local knowledge and personal experience. We only recommend services we believe provide good value and quality. Affiliate relationships do not influence the honesty of our guidance.
Affiliate links will be clearly indicated where present. MilesAway is not responsible for the content, services or policies of third-party providers.
Free Itinerary Suggestions: If you use the "Plan My Tromsø Trip" form to request a free example itinerary, the itinerary you receive is a suggestion only, based on the travel information you provide. It is not a confirmed booking, a guaranteed plan, or professional travel-agency advice — it is a starting point to help you plan your trip.
Booking any tour or experience suggested to you is done directly with the tour operator via our affiliated Viator link, not through MilesAway Exploration. MilesAway Exploration is not hired by, employed by, or an agent of any tour operator we suggest.
All information about availability, specific dates and prices for suggested tours is provided by and confirmed through Viator, not MilesAway. Any questions, changes or issues relating to a booking must be directed to Viator or the tour operator directly — MilesAway Exploration has no control over, and accepts no liability for, cancellations, alterations or changes made to a suggested tour by Viator or the operator.
