100% recommend - amazing day viewing orca in November - An absolutely incredible day with Polar Adventures. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, the journey to and from Skervjoy was comfortable despite the choppy waves and it was just a small group on the boat, and to top it off we saw 25-30 orca. We were lucky to split off from the other tour boats and followed one pod for over an hour. We also did the northern lights tour with this company which was also excellent - brilliant views of the northern lights even on a very cloudy and snowy evening.

Seeing the whales was... - Seeing the whales was incredible. We got to see orcas and humpback whales. The trip there was long but we got super lucky with a smooth ride. Once we got there the staff were super engaging in giving history on the whales, pointing out where to look. We drove around following the different groups of whales. On the way back they gave soup. Unfortunately it was not gluten free. Then we got to see the northern lights on the water as we came home and they were incredible. Highly recommend but be careful if the water is choppier as it is 6+ hours of travel to get to the whales.

Such a knowledgeable guide, friendly and approachable team. We cannot praise this family-run business enough.
We were fortunate to see Fin and Humpback whales and lots of Orcas on the day we went, which made the trip extra special.
Thank you to the whole team for an amazing day.

Spectacular day - An amazing trip with the best of crews and spectacular sights.
Such a warm, friendly personal atmosphere that only a small group can create. Really loved the guides/crew helping (Sophie, Ken, Chef Halinka and Captain Miquel) out, such a knowledge about both area and the animals we were about to see.
A lot of laughter, big smiles and people from all over the world seeing Orcas, Finwales and eagles together is a memory for life.
Really recomend this company if your in Tromsø.

Great whale watching tour - We had a great experience with Polar Adventures. The staff were caring and knowledgeable. The scenery on the way was spectacular and we had a bonus viewing of reindeer but best of all was that we saw plenty of whales. We lost count of the number of orca, saw 3 humpbacks close up and a fin whale. We appreciated the veggie soup for lunch and the unlimited hot drinks and biscuits for the long trip out and back. No one was seasick either!

Great whale watching experience - Great opportunity to see different types of whale.which lasted 9 hours. Free availability of soft drinks and biscuits, lunch of excellent hot soup and focaccia. Extremely friendly staff. The biologist guide was inexperienced with limited knowledge and did not educate us the way we expected. The boat was quite reasonable and performed very well but looked a bit tired and was quite packed with about 34 people

Great trip - Great team of staff. Very funny and knowledgeable. We saw plenty of Orcas. Bitterly cold so wrap up warm. Baguette that was provided was delicious.
