Really nice outing, 2 whales came to dazzle us for 2 hours…. The best part was the hot chocolate and the little cake at the end of the outing… More difficult for the little ones because there was no area where they could warm up on the boat…

I loved every second of this activity. The guide was phenomenal and the Captain did his best to give us the best experience! I would highly recommend this “adventure”!

Just an exceptional experience! We were welcomed and taken care of throughout, I was very seasick but we had a whale show, it was just incredible!

I could feel the passion of the guides. They were kind and tried their best to show me the whales at least once more. It was great.

Absolutely amazing experience. I would d recommend Arctic Sea tours whole heartedly.
