Whale watching adventure from Tromsø (Tromso)

The experience was totally amazing, the guide was very knowledgeable and kind, always giving her best so we could see all species, we indeed saw and it was a magical experience! Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Incredible fjords cruise!! We all had the orca whale watching tour booked, but unfortunately the trip got cancelled due to the whales migrating with the herring.
Couldn’t have asked for a better day. We got to see a moose, seal, eagle and otters. We docked up at sommaroy, and got an hour to explore the area.
Highly recommend booking this tour if your whale tour gets cancelled.
Our guide was very kind, helpful and knowledgable.

Abbiamo fatto un tour con questa compagnia, che dire, barca perfetta, pulita, calda comoda e soprattutto veloce, siamo stati tra i primi ad arrivare nella zona delle balene dopo circa due ore e mezza di attraversata, nel frattempo la guida ci ha spiegato in maniera semplice e veloce un po di cose da sapere a riguardo degli animali che avremmo potuto avvistare.
A bordo c’è una comoda macchinetta per caffè e bevande calde in generale, con tanto di abbondanti biscotti.
Il whale watching vero e proprio è durato circa due ore e mezza, anche di più, e la cosa che ho ritenuto veramente un passo avanti è stata l’abbandonare la zona quando troppe altre barche si avvicinavano alla nostra, ovviamente dopo averci chiesto se fossimo d’accordo e contenti, per cercare altre balene lontano dalle altre imbarcazioni.
Insomma, un’esperienza non propriamente turistica per una volta, e ben più efficace, alla fine abbiamo visto tutto, e anzi siamo stati l’ultima imbarcazione ad andare via, quando saremmo già dovuti essere di ritorno, e i ragazzi ci hanno concesso una mezzoretta da soli con un paio di megattere che stavano riposando in superficie, lasciandoci godere appieno fino all’ultimo istante l’esperienza.
Posso solo dirvi grazie. Tutto stupendo

An absolutely incredible day! 😍😍😍
We're coming home with wonderful memories 🥰
A very friendly team who gave us lots of information about orcas and whales ☺️

Very lucky ，看到好多鱼，好多好多鱼

Amazing trip, well organised, not too many people on the boat so it’s very comfortable onboard, plenty of tea/coffee & biscuits available, crew very knowledgeable & easy to talk to. So so many whales to see both Humpback & Oracas. Would definitely go with this company again as very respectful of the area.

Njord Adventures saved us from a bad day due to other trip cancellation without having got any information. They were really available for onboarding us and, thanks to their professionality we got a fantastic Whale watching tour! Thank you!

Wirklich ganz ganz toll! Ein kleines Unternehmen , dem es wirklich wichtig ist, dass ihre Gäste glücklich sind und die sich sehr um ihre Gäste bemühen. Hannalena hat uns viel über die Wale erzählt und durch das schnelle Boot waren wir auch in 2.5h bei den Walen. Wir haben ganz viele Wale gesehen , es war atemberaubend schön und trotzdem wurden die Tiere in ihrer natürliche Umgebung respektiert ( nicht zu nah dran gefahren, verfolgt etc). Als die meisten Boote umgekehrt sind , sind wir noch weiter gefahren und haben noch ein paar Walspots aufgesucht da noch etwas Tageslicht da war. Das sticht gegenüber anderen Anbietern definitiv hervor. Auch die kleine Gruppengröße von höchstens 30 , macht die Tour sehr privat und entspannt. Es gab die ganze Tour über gratis Tee und Kaffee sowie Suppe . Wir haben uns wirklich sehr sehr wohl gefühlt und hatten den besten Tag seit langem. Auf der Rückfahrt konnten wir sogar noch Polarlichter sehen. Danke 🤗 bucht diese Tour , ihr werdet es nicht bereuen .

Great boat, staff and tour. Saw maybe 100 orcas, 10 Humpback whales, and 3 Fin whales. Absolutely amazing!

We had a great trip and saw multiple large orca pods, saw 2 humpback whales and shortly a finn whale. The crew was very friendly and the boat has a good speed. It gets quite bumpy when passing areas closer to the ocean. Also be aware that the boat is driving a long distance until you reach the whale areas. However with Njord we have been one of the first boats there and left as the last boat - so we spend the most time of all other companies with the whales.

The soup which is included is just a small instant soup. That could be improved. They provide free tea and coffee which is nice.

Excellent safari!

Thank you for an incredible experience! Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Comfortable and small boat.

Veel informatie gekregen, uitleg en vriendelijke crew. Boot is perfect en comfortabel.
Beveel Njord adventure sterk aan.

Hey Hannaleena, Daniel and Jørn,
You were very responsive and quick with answers. The boat is beautiful, fast, safe and comfortable: the best option when starting in Tromsø. We were lucky with weather conditions and the wales pleased to show up. Thank you for your hospitality and the unforgettable ride. Emilie&Stefan

100% recommend this company!

Our first 9-hour expedition was with a different larger boat company and we didn’t see any whales… literally 0 and the whole thing felt rushed and cramped.

But this company, Njord Adventures, are amazing! We went on a smaller, more comfortable, and intimate boat and we were rewarded with numerous orcas (killer whales) and humpback whales. They even gave us soup towards the end of the trip to warm us up!

The water can get choppy, so take seasickness tablets before boarding. The staff keep you informed about bumps and waves, and they were absolutely incredible!

Special shout out to Hannaleena - she was amazing.

Brilliant experience with Njord Adventures We had the best day from start to finish.
The guides were lovely and extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend booking with Njord Adventures

Aufgrund des Schnellbootes waren wir die Ersten vor Ort. Somit konnten wir eine gewisse Zeit die Orcas alleine beobachten und die wunderschöne Natur genießen. Die Crew war super. Das Boot war im Inneren beheizt und sehr bequem. Man konnte zu jeder Zeit an Deck gehen. Aufgrund der kleinen Reisegruppe hatte auch jeder einen guten Platz um die Tiere zu beobachten. Der respektvolle Umgang mit den Tieren stand für die Crew an erster Stelle. Es gab Kaffee, Tee und Kekse sowie eine Suppe. Wir können diese Tour mit Njord Adventure einfach nur weiterempfehlen.

Fantastic unique experience today, thank you so much ”Njord Adventures”, a day to remember 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🐋

Whale watching tour yesterday 08/12/25 fantastic dat out 👍it’s about three hours getting to the feeding grounds but so worth it 😬tea coffee hot chocolate biscuits soup all on board! Very professional crew very informative! I enjoyed it so much I’m going again on Sunday !!!! Lots of orcas which is my main thing also seen several humpback whales got done great video footage that I can’t stop looking at 😁😁😁😁😁definitely worth doing

Amazing experience!!! Thanks so muuuuch!

Simply lovely Had an amazing trip with this company. People with so much passion and very open-minded. We saw 4 species of whales!😍

Highly recommend to book your trip here

Amazing even though I was sea sick. Amazing explanations, I would have loved even more. The boat was decent size so we were not too many compared to some boats we saw. I really appreciate the respect the crew had for the wild life

It was a perfect day! Amazing crew with a perfectly sized ship and group. We had the best time ever with the most magical views! And they are very respectful towards the whales and always told us where to see them. 1000% recommend!

I did a lot of research before landing at Njord Adventures and it was perfect. Im early 30s with my husband and my mom. Didnt want to be stuck on a large boat with a million people for 7 hours and wasnt ready for a RIB boat. Njord has a smaller vessel with comfortable seating and amenities, perfect for optimizing wild life viewing with easy access being indoors to get warm and being outside on the decks for the glorious views. Our guide was a true professional in educating and helping us spot all the sea life. We saw swarms of orcas, 2 humpbacks, and even a fin whale. Amazing experience, I highly recommend.

Unbedingt empfehlenswerte Tour, die Reiseleiterin war toll. Wir haben viele Wale gesehen und sind noch etwas länger geblieben als die anderen Touren. So konnten wir noch Buckelwale sehen.Es gab heiße Getränke und Kekse und eine leichte Suppe. Allerdings hatte ich mir da nicht unbedingt eine Tütensuppe vorgestellt.

Fantastic tour, the crew, the boat, and of course the whales were perfect. We spent a lot of time with the whales and even stayed a bit longer than expected to enjoy some very close encounters. We saw 25+ orcas and a couple of humpback whales. Highly recommend!

Expérience incroyable ! L équipage est très sympa nous avons vu énormément d orques et quelques baleines à bosse. Une journée extraordinaire malgré un temps peu lumineux. Une soupe est proposée après l observation et les boissons chaudes sont à volonté. Je les conseille les yeux fermés

Nous ne regrettons pas d’avoir choisis Njord Adventure, si c’était à refaire ce serra avec eux.
Jeune équipe, à votre écoute, vous informe tout au long de la croisière.
Biscuit, café, chocolat chaud, soupes à bord en libre service.

It's amazing!!!

We had an incredible experience with Njord Adventures. The boat was the perfect size-large enough to be comfortable, but small enough to feel personal and uncrowded.

The guides were outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. We were among the first boats to reach the whale areas and stayed out longer than most, which made a huge difference.

We were lucky enough to see a large number of orcas up close, and the whole experience felt well-paced, respectful of the wildlife, and truly unforgettable. If you’re planning whale watching in Tromsø, this is an excellent choice and one we would highly recommend.

In short this was one of the most magical experiences we had in a long time!

We had the most wonderful time with Njord Adventures! The boat was the perfect size - not too big or crowded but still big enough to have a heated indoor space to warm up. We saw lots of orcas, humpback whales and a fin whale. The team was lovely and we stayed a bit longer than expected as we encountered a pod of orcas as we were leaving the area.

We had a fabulous time with the team at Njord Adventures. Pro-Tip: BRING ANTI-NAUSEA meds. The seas are rough and it's a 3-4 hour journey before you reach where the whales are located. The whales are fantastic and worth putting up with the other sea sick travelers!

We had a wonderful tour and booked immediately for the next day, that says everything. What makes this tour unique isvthe smaller soze of zhe group, it felt very personal and perfetly organized by the small team. Especially Hannaleena is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and the captain made us feel very safe. They hav no restricted schedule they go the extra mile to create great experiences for the guests. We saw lot of whales, orcas and humpbacks, it was amazing and a bonus the sunrise during the trip

Nous avons vécu une superbe expérience avec Njord Adventures. Le personnel est accueillant, souriant et très compétent. Le petit bateau, à la fois chaleureux et confortable, permet une sortie agréable et conviviale.

Nous avons eu beaucoup de chance : orques et baleines étaient au rendez-vous ! Tout au long de l’excursion, l’équipe a veillé à respecter pleinement les animaux, en gardant toujours la bonne distance — ni trop près, ni trop loin — ce que nous avons beaucoup apprécié.

Une sortie magnifique que nous recommandons vivement. Une expérience à vivre au moins une fois !

Excellent day out 🐋 We had an incredible day out with NjordAdventures. Orcas, humpback and fin whales in the space of a few hours! I had the pleasure of sharing this experience with friends and family, most of whom had never seen orcas before so it was very moving to see their reactions. A huge thanks to the guide Hannaleena and skipper Jørn for this amazing experience. If you wish to go whale watching from Tromso for the day, look no further then NjordAdventures! They are truly passionate about what they do and keep a respectful distance from the animals, allowing them to approach the boat on their own terms.

Thanks again!

Tour incredibile, ragazzi super disponibili e bella atmosfera sulla barca. Sono giovani e indipendenti, da sostenere assolutamente.

My only bucket list dream was to see orcas in the wild, and Njord Adventures made that possible! We had the most incredible experience right beside the orcas while they rode the waves next to us. 10/10 experience!

Cant recommend this company enough. Easy to book, easy to find. Boat was so cool, gave you a real feel of adventure standing out on the deck cruising through the fjords, but also with the luxury of the warm indoor cabins with tea and coffee readily avaliable. I think our tour was fully booked but it didnt feel crowded at all. The team on board were fab giving loads of information about where we were heading, what animals maybe there for us too see, giving warning if it was going to be bumpy too. When we arrived to find the whales they were so respectful of giving the whales space to do their thing, but also getting us to the perfect spot to see too. After seeing the whales we headed back, warming up with soup in the cabin. Fantastic day for our whole family a trip ive been wanting to do for a long time. If you want to go whale watching 100% use Njord Adventures.

Thanks a lot for this great experience! We will never forget this day.
