Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We arrived at the pick up spot and we were assigned to travel on the bus first (half of the passengers either start with the bus or the boat and end with the other). We left at 8:30AM then had a 3 and a half hour bus journey to the location where the whales are and arrived at 12PM we then got on the boat and drove for about 20 minutes until we started to see whales we spent about one hour 30 minutes in the area where the whales are and had lots of sightings mainly of orcas. We then headed back to Tromso on the boat which took less than 2 hours and arrived back by 3:40 pm. Such an amazing experience and great value for money, we were lucky to see so many whales.
Awesome experience, the weather was perfect, the staff super friendly and we saw loads of orcas and some humpbacks. We spent a lot of time with the whales and they came up super close to the boat! 10/10, would recommend and always do the tour again!
