Although the 4 hour journey from Tromso at 5am was slightly off putting the experience was well worth it. You get up close and personal with these beautiful mammals. Our guide Lad ( yes that is what he liked to be called ) was exceptional and sighted plenty of Sperm whales. My tour was late January so we missed the Orcas. The journey aside I so glad I paid the higher price than the catamaran as we got closer to the whales and were out longer on the sea as the bigger boats. Definitely recommend this tour, thank you.
How often in your life will you get the opportunity to be just feet away from orca whales… this adventure was so amazing! We choose this tour because we liked the idea of a warm bus ride - yes it was a long ride -but it was warm - two hours on the water - a warm bus ride back to Tromso. We loved the smaller boats - I think we had 12 passengers - we were as close to these majestic animals as was possible. Our pictures are amazing!!! Whole heartedly recommend this adventure!
