Whale watching adventure from Tromsø (Tromso)

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!

Amazing experience. Absolutely loved my time on board, the crew were so friendly and genuine and we saw so much.
Loved the smaller boat and that you're supporting a small business.
Would highly recommend to anyone and I will definitely be back at some stage 🐋
Thanks again

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.

Great trip! Very well planned and passionate. The trip is done very respectable to the whales and we got to see orcas and humpbackwhales. Due to small size of the boat the experience feels personal. Carry really warm clothes it gets really cold out there.
Hannalena was a great enthusiastic guide.

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

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

One of the best whale watching tours ever. Thank you for your fantastic and informative tour. Everything was great and we felt very well looked after. Thx Hannaleena and Daniel. Always professional and super relaxed.

What an amazing day whale watching with this company! The boat was so comfortable and very fast, we got to the feeding area in 2.5 hours and spent over 2 hours watching humpbacks and orcas. They moved around the boat to follow sightings and it allowed us to see so many orcas and humpbacks. The tour group is small so this allows everyone the opportunity to witness these mammals in their natural habitat, everyone has a clear view. I would recommend this company to anyone and if we ever come back, I will be using them again. Fantastic memories made. Thanks so much to all at Njord Adventures!

Great adventure! Great people, passionate and prepared. They will make your trip special. Perfect boat, funny, cozy, not too big so you can have more family experience. We had a very lucky day, but they’ll do whatever they can to make your day unforgettable. They love what they do, and the experience itself is one of a kind. Go for it

Sehr angenehme Tour mit tollen Gastgebern die jederzeit angesprochen werden können und Fragen beantworten. Das Boot hat eine gute Grösse und wir haben viele Orcas gesehen - lediglich die Instantsuppenauswahl hat nicht meinen Geschmack getroffen.

Den här turen är 5 av 5.
En otrolig Guide som delar så fint med sig av sina kunskaper. De respekterar djuren..vilket säkert djuren förstår.
Denna dag kom de till båten och var nyfikna..istället för att jaga dem.
Trygg båt. Kaptenen av båten otroligt bra.
Säger bara.
Välj detta bolag! ❤️❤️❤️

Fabulous experience! I was lucky enough to win this tour. Communication, friendliness and the tour itself was good. Although its a small boat tour, we were taken in a big boat to increase chances of seeing them, being end of season. We did see a few including orcas.

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!

Ein Traum ging in Erfüllung ❤️ Es war phantastisches Erlebnis, absolut liebe und professionelle Crew, die sich immer Zeit genommen hat und gerne ihr Wissen teilte. Mein Sohn und ich waren so begeistert, daß wir den Tag drauf auch nochmal mit dabei waren. Am ersten Tag haben wir viele Orcas gesehen, am zweiten Tag kamen dann noch Buckelwale und Finnwale dazu. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

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

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

Fantastic trip. Very friendly and open minded people with so much passion. They do the tours with much respect for the wildlife. We saw 4 species of whales😍 Highly recommend this company to book an amazing trip!

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

It was a really nice experience to participate in whale safari. Those memories will last quiet a long time. The crew was amazing an very helpful. Their hospitality was on the highest level. I truly recommend to choose Njord Adventures.

Excellent experience. Very helpful and professional staff. Great hot chocolate. They do their best to ensure good sightings. Overall awesome trip and an easy recommendation

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Ausflug mit Njord Adventures. Die Kommunikation war von Anfang an sehr gut – wir haben die Tour bereits einige Wochen vor unserer Reise nach Tromsø gebucht, da uns ein kleines Boot mit wenigen Teilnehmern besonders wichtig war.

Einen Tag vor der Tour erhielten wir eine E-Mail mit der Information, dass am Vortag leider nicht viele Wale gesichtet wurden und man deshalb mit einem größeren Boot hinausfahren würde, um die Chancen zu erhöhen. Uns wurde dabei völlig offen gelassen, die Tour kostenfrei zu stornieren, falls das nichts für uns wäre – das fanden wir sehr fair.

Wir haben es absolut nicht bereut, teilgenommen zu haben. Wir fühlten uns jederzeit gut aufgehoben: Die gesamte Crew war unglaublich freundlich und aufmerksam. Für alles war gesorgt – Tee, Kaffee, heiße Schokolade, Snacks und sogar eine warme Suppe.

Besonders beeindruckt hat uns der respektvolle Umgang mit den Tieren. Die Crew näherte sich den Walen mit viel Rücksicht und ließ ihnen stets ausreichend Freiraum. Ein rundum tolles und verantwortungsbewusstes Erlebnis, das wir sehr empfehlen können.

這次體驗非常完美！看到了三種不同的鯨魚，導遊們既專業又熱情，還分享了很多有趣的科普知識。船也維持得很乾淨、舒適，整體行程真的很值得推薦！

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

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!

Es war ein wunderschöner Tag, vielen Dank dafür. Es ist alles top von dem Team organisiert. Es gibt Kaffee, Tee, heiße Schokolade, Kekse und nachdem man die Wale gesehen hat, gab es auch Suppe. Es wird sich viel Mühe gegeben, dass man Wale sieht und dennoch auch die Tiere nicht bedrängt.
Wir hatten Glück und haben viele Orgas und einen Finnwal gesehen. ❤️

Wenn man seekrank wird, sollte man auf jeden Fall Reisetabletten nehmen, da es zwischendurch (ca. 20-30 Minuten) sehr wellig und rau ist.

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

What wonderful days!!!
I was on board the MS Sylvkallen on Saturday, November 15, 2025, and again on November 18, 2025.
Hannalena, our tour guide, and Jørn, our captain, were fantastic.
They both radiated such calm and serenity. They are attentive to their guests on board and always have time for a chat. The boat is small, which makes these trips more personal and intimate.
I always felt safe and very comfortable.
There is also free tea and coffee, as well as hot soup on the return trip. This is great when you're frozen after whale watching.
On my last tour on November 18, 2025, I encouraged two people to join me on this trip. They booked spontaneously on my recommendation and were totally overwhelmed by how beautiful and eventful this tour was. They were Ray from the USA, Sam from Perth, Gucci from England, and me as their “Lucky Roland.” We had such a great time on board!!!
Of course, we also saw lots of orcas, humpback whales, and even fin whales.
All this because Hannalena and Jørn always took us to the right spots. I already know Daniel from my vacations in 2022 and 2023.
Back then, I was also traveling with the crew of the MS Sylvkallen.
Please, please keep up the good work, you three. You are great and make these tours unique experiences.
Greetings to you three

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

Uns wurde empfohlen, eine Walbeobachtungstour mit einem kleineren Boot zu machen und nicht mit einem Katamaran. Also haben wir uns für Njord Adventures und ihr Boot „MS Sylvkallen“ entschieden.
Das war eine gute Wahl. Wir haben uns an Bord sehr wohl gefühlt, den ganzen Tag über gab es kostenlose Heißgetränke und Kekse, und zum Mittagessen wurde uns sogar eine heiße Suppe serviert.

Hannaleena hab uns eine Präsentation und viele Informationen über Wale und darüber, warum wir mit dem Boot genau dorthin gefahren sind, wo wir waren. Auch sonst hat sie alle Fragen ausführlich beantwortet.

Das Wal-Erlebnis war fantastisch. Natürlich ist das Natur und außerhalb menschlichen Einflusses – aber wir wurden wirklich verwöhnt: Finnwale, Buckelwale und unzählige Orkas.

Der Kapitän Jørn hat alles getan, um uns so nah wie möglich an die Tiere heranzubringen – jedoch immer mit dem nötigen Respekt ihnen gegenüber. Ich hatte nie das Gefühl, dass wir ihre natürlichen Verhaltensweisen gestört haben.

Wegen der enormen Menge an Tieren hat der Kapitän uns etwas mehr Zeit bei den Walen gegeben, so dass wir wirklich ein grandioses Erlebnis hatten.

Simply amazing!! The crew is incredible, very friendly. You can literally feel they love what they are doing. Beyond our expectations.. If you are looking for something cozy, friendly and polite feeling, this is your go 😊

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

Die Tour hat meine Vorstellungen noch übertroffen. Wie haben an einem nicht so klaren Tag zwar etwas länger gebraucht bis wir die Wale gefunden haben, aber als wir dann die Location erreicht haben war es wie in einem Traum. Die Guides liessen uns auch lange Zeit und wir konnten mehrmals verschiedene Wale sehen. Bei uns waren es Buckelwale und Orcas. Die Guides haben auch auf der Fahrt immer wieder etwas erzählt und achteten auch immer auf genügend Abstand. Die Fahrt mit dem Boot nach Skervøy geht teilweise über das offene Meer und wenn man seekrank wird kann das recht übel werden. Aber wenn das überstanden ist, lohnt es sich sehr.😊

Amazing!!

Gestern waren wir mit Njord Adventures auf Whalewatching Tour. Es ist absolut empfehlenswert. Auf dem Weg hin gibt es einen kleinen Vortrag über die Wale die man sehen könnte. Wir waren eines der ersten Boote bei den Walen und man merkt den Guides ihre Liebe zu den Tieren wirklich an. Alle haben die Zeit vergessen und wir waren bis es zu dunkel wurde um etwas zu sehen im Fjord. Es wurde sehr respektvoll mit den Walen umgegangen. Andere Boote sind nahezu in die Wale reingefahren, bei uns kamen die Wale von selbst sehr nah ans Boot. Hannaleena und ihre Crew waren sehr hilfsbereit und immer sehr sehr freundlich. Sie haben sich gegen das Arbeiten in einem Unternehmen entschieden, das gegen die ethischen Grundsätze der Welt der Wale arbeitet und sich selbstständig gemacht. Auf dem Rückweg gab es Suppe und Hannaleena hat nochmals erklärt, welche Wale wir gesehen haben. In unserem Fall Finnwale, Orcas und Buckelwale. Das Team hilft auch bei der Wal Research und beobachtet genau, welche Wale im Fjord auftauchen. Sollten wir wieder mal in tromso sein, ist eine Tour mit Njord Adventures fester Programmpunkt vielen Dank euch für diesen unvergesslichen Tag

If it would be possible I would rate 6 stars 😜 it was an amazing trip. I am very thankful for that

Ottima esperienza. La nave era dotata di tutti i comfort necessari (bagno, sedute comode, tavolini e spazio esterno) con un massimo di 36 persone, che penso sia un plus rispetto alle navi da 200 persone. La guida e il capitano sono stati eccezionali: ci hanno spiegato molto bene tutte le fasi dell'attività, lasciando spazio a domande/chiarimenti e soprattutto ci hanno fatto godere ogni singolo momento, rispettando anche il silenzio in alcuni momenti cruciali. Sono stati molto rispettosi dell'ambiente e degli animali marittimi incontrati, cercando di non interferire nelle loro attività, ma facendoci comunque avvicinare abbastanza da creare un momento bellissimo.
Alla fine dell'attività ci son state spiegate le diverse specie incontrate, con tanto di immagini e cartoline ricordo.
Consigliatissimo, attività locale da sostenere assolutamente!

This was a really great experience, we learned alot about the whales and we also are lucky to see the whales. The boat was also warm and cozy. All the crews were passionate and really helpful. Thank you guys for all of the things. Love it

An unforgettable experience with Njord Adventures!

It was absolutely beautiful. For the first time in our lives, we saw whales – including orcas.
We started the tour at 08:15 AM and returned around 4:00 PM. The weather was fantastic and the scenery was breathtaking: snow-covered fjords, stunning nature, and incredible light.

Yes, it was freezing cold, but that only made the experience even more special. We were able to watch the orcas for almost two hours, which was truly magical.

The Njord Adventures team was incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip.

We would definitely book another tour with them and can highly recommend Njord Adventures!

Es war einfach perfekt!
