Magical fjord experience - The voyage from Svolvaer to the Trollfjord is absolutely stunning, breathtaking scenery all the way. The tiny Trollfjord is an intimate and magical place, and I would particularly recommend this tour with the boat silently running on electric. They also slowed right down to allow us to view sea eagles on two occasions, have a drone which was used for an interesting talk on marine wildlife, and provided informative and entertaining commentary. Cinnamon buns are good too!

Silent Trollfjord cruise - Quiet pleasant trip into the Trollfjord. Good indications of sea eagle sightings. Special pictures of the seabed with the underwater drone

Fun experience - The incredible views of the sea and fjords. Very peaceful. There are lots of seats inside and outside so you are able to wander around and stay in (or out) of the weather. There is coffee and tea available on the ship and I believe food too but I did not buy anything.

Trollfjord Cruise from Solvaer - We went in May so it was relatively quiet. The boat has lots of space to move around outside and is cosy inside. There is a bar on board which is nice - there are also toilets which is good to know! The views on a sunny day were spectacular with snow still very much covering the tops. The crew were great and gave informative talks about Lofoten. Pace is leisurely and we loved every minute onboard.

Must do! - A beautiful experience! The tour was well guided with very knowledgeable and friendly employees. The views were unmatched, granted we went on a clear day, but I’m sure even without clear visibility it would be a lovely trek!

Beautiful, but could have been on time - Was a little disappointed that after we were out for about a half hour, we turned around to go back and pick up another couple which delayed us getting back by about 40 minutes. If you can’t arrive on time for departure, that is on you!

Interesting and comfortable cruise worth doing - We enjoyed our afternoon Trollfjord cruise. It was interesting seeing all the remote rorbuers - it is incredible that people live so remotely. We saw sea eagles and some beautiful scenery as the sun was setting. The underwater drone I found quite fascinating. It's not often you can see under the water up near the arctic circle (even though there wasn't much there). The hosts tell you about what you're seeing as you go along. They are also very approachable if you have questions. Boat was smooth, just a bit bumpy near Svolvaer but nothing bad. I think this experience is better than the inflatable boats as it's more comfortable. The actual Trollfjord I didn't think was that amazing though - it's quite small.

A journey with fits and starts - It started that the boat trip was postponed for a day. We then chose to go with the boat a day later. It was a boat journey with obstacles. Out of town at 10.10 am 10.15 back at the port, after 10 minutes there is an electronic malfunction. 10.30 we will let you know quickly what we are going to do We left at 11.30 am and returned at great speed Back at the port at 1:30 PM

Disappointed - The ship was initially delayed for 20min. Then after departure and in the ocean for some time, the ship suddenly returned back to the port to pick up 2 passengers without much explanation, wasting an additional 30 minutes of everyone’s time :( The tour itself is still not bad and I appreciate the crews’ work. But going back in this situation without much explanation doesn’t make customers happy. A bit disappointed.

No "silent" cruise. - Bought a ticket in advance, found out at short notice that the boat had engine problems. The trip was canceled and we got our money back. Bought a new ticket two days later. Departure time delayed and then after 30 minutes at sea the boat turned back to Svolvaer to pick up more passengers left on the dock. A group of loud Chinese chattering all the time meant that you couldn't hear any of the info on the speakers. 2500 wasted kroner!
