Absolutely incredible!! - What an absolute gem of a trip!
We got super lucky as we managed to see Orca's, Finn whales and as we were leaving the feeding grounds a Humpback whale too but to top it all off on our way back to town, the Northern lights gave us an incredible display very early in the night sky!!
The boat was clean and spacious, free tea and coffee which bonus with it being sooooo cold out on deck!!!
All staff and guides were amazing and very knowledgeable and were happy to help and talk about the whales and the trip.
100% would recommend this trip

Orcas galore! - Whales galore! Both Orcas and Humpbacks. Knowledgeable guides Daniel, Maja and Magnus made the day fun with their enthusiasm for these glorious mammals - and Captain Hanne's skills made for a very smooth trip despite the waves. But best of all, the company is respectful of the wildlife and did not stress them.

Respectful and worth seeing whale experience - Super friendly and happy team! The good mood and passion of the girls for whales was just beautiful to experience! Respectful behaviour towards the whales was the top priority here!
The whole team let us see whales for over an hour they are always towards the whales but with the necessary distance and also to the next spot if a whale was spotted there!
Absolutely worth seeing experience!

Best boat ride ever!! - Wow!! From the moment we boarded the catamaran, we were well taken care of by the crew. The cabin was well heated, and outside… super cold!!! It was beautiful to see the Lyngen Alps and the fjords. We were blessed to witness the Supermoon at 10am too. When we reached Skjervøy, the captain steered the boat so well and we had amazing views of the orcas and humpback whales! The guide was also very good - telling us where to look for these beautiful sea-life. Highly recommend this boat cruise!

Exceptional cruise and guides. - Just returned from another autumn break in Tromso and used this company again as had used them on a previous trip. It was again an excellent tour. Captain Hana guided us through the fjords safely and her piloting skills are exceptional steering the boat into even the smallest waves to minimise impact. Her crew are friendly and approachable. The guides from Norweigian Travel Company were all super friendly and knowledgeable and respectful of the environment that is the whales home. Sad to see at the fjord that the rib companies did not respect the distance enforcement set by the whale watching guidelines. This trip was so good I rebooked for a second viewing of the extraordinary whales. Special thanks go to Daniel again who puts another dynamic on the cruise. I would highly recommend this company. Wear warm layers for outside as the scenery on the cruise out to the whales is absolutely spectacular.
