The speedboat tour was very nice. We received a friendly welcome and were immediately fitted with the appropriate waterproof overalls and life jackets. You didn't have to print out the voucher! Then we went with the guide to the harbor and onto the boat. The ride was exciting because we were traveling very fast and were rocked quite a bit on the sprung seats. We then saw a minke whale and three humpback whales quite quickly. We then followed the three humpback whales for a relatively long time and were able to take great close-ups, which would not have been possible with the big boat. I can only recommend this tour!

We had booked a 3-hour whale-watching excursion from Dalvik! We were very well received and we were indeed able to observe the whales under a resplendent sun without being inundated with tourists! We were about twenty on the boat and we were only 2 boats to observe the whale which greeted us several times with its tail. In addition, the captain and our guide did everything to find the dolphins, finally the excursion lasted 3h30 and we could also see the dolphins right next to the boat. Great trip with this company.

Great experience! We saw whales and dolphins. Definitely do the speedboat tour. The guides can react quickly when an animal is sighted in the distance. The kids (14 and 11) loved it too.

Super organized, saw whales several times, there was also hot cocoa and a snack. Thank you

A beautiful journey in nature, in peace, in silence, far from bla bla bla.
