Whale watching adventure from Tromsø (Tromso)

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.

Great tour — even the boat ride there was spectacular! We saw lots of orcas, including babies. The team was warm, very knowledgeable, and took plenty of time with everything. I’d definitely do it again!

Definitely book here! A small Norwegian company that truly does everything possible to give you the best experience. The highlight of our trip was seeing the orcas and the fin whale. The crew went above and beyond to make this possible, while always respecting the animals and never disturbing them — unlike some other boats we saw. We’re very happy we chose this company. The team showed great respect for both wildlife and guests. An excellent and unforgettable experience!

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!

Amazing experience!!! Thanks so muuuuch!

Es war einfach perfekt!

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.

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!

Amazing experience. Today's experience was incredible. Not only did we see multiple orca but we got to see two humpback whales and the Northern lights on the ride back in. Words can not explain how great this trip was. The knowledge of the local guide Hannaleena was fantastic and the boat skipper Daniel did a great job of getting us close to the whales and keeping them safe.
Thankyou for an incredible day

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

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.

A passionate crew that tries everything to give you an unforgettable experience with the orcas - without disregarding the animals' sanctuary.

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

Wundervolle Tour uns fantastische Guide! Würde ich jedem empfehlen (mit eknem stabilen Magen)- wir haben sehr viele Orcas gesehen

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!

Thankful for this great experience. The communication was on point and the service just great. With patience we were lucky to see Orcas and humpback whales. We were given plenty of time to watch, enjoy and take pictures. I got to know a lot more about the whales we saw than imagined. Thank you Njord team for making our trip extra special.

We joined a whale tour with Njord Adventures on their small boat. Even though it was fully booked with around 40 people, it never felt crowded. Our guide Hannaleena was very friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly.

We were incredibly lucky and saw orcas, humpback whales, and even a fin whale. One orca stayed right next to the boat for about five minutes and swam around us, what an unforgettable experience.

These are wild animals, so sightings can never be guaranteed, but the crew always kept a respectful distance and clearly cared about the animals’ well-being.

Absolutely recommended, a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

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.

Amazing!!

Njord adventures We had an excellent day with Hannaleena and Jörn. Their expertise on whales and navigaation on the sea was top notch. If you are looking for nontouristic approach and hassle free (as said in the prochure) whale watching tour, this is it!

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.

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

Hannaleena and her team make the whale safari a truly amazing experience. They have a small, excellent, and very fast boat that allows them to reach more remote bays, ensuring whale sightings. They are incredibly friendly, helpful, informative, and don’t watch the clock - they genuinely want the best for their customers. During our tour, they went over an hour past the scheduled time because a whale family followed us in the fjord and we had incredible moments.

NjordAdventures is highly recommended!

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 !

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

Estuvo muy padre, pudimos ver orcas y ballenas en el tour. Igual dan café y galletas todo el viaje y te regalan una sopa al regreso. Los guías muy amables y atentos

This is THE trip to book! Forget the big boats! Will definitely be back.

We spent the day searching for the Orcas. We were lucky as they made an appearance. We also got to see humpback whales. The trip was well organised and comfortable. Slightly bumpy in places so I'd recommend taking sea sickness tablets if you're prone to that. The guide had a good knowledge and there was a general feeling of respect for nature and the whales. I would highly recommend.

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

Prachtige ervaring begeleidt door een topduo. Op meerdere locaties orka's en bultrugwalvissen gespot. En op terugweg nog een mooi extraatje gekregen, nl het noorderlicht

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.

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.

Excellent crew and wonderful boat. We saw humpback whales and many orcas up close. Boat is fast and perfect size, not too big, not too small. We had a bonus on the way back seeing the Northern Lights. I totally recommend this crew and boat and would do it again

We had cookies, tea, coffee and chocolate on board. During the journey there, guides shared us information about the whales we are going to see. We felt absolutely comfortable and welcomed on the boat, we found a pod of orcas that swam close to our boat and followed us too! Close up footage of the whales were on videos that I couldn't upload on Google reviews unfortunately. Time to go see for yourself.

Bei meinem Sohn und mir ging ein Traum in Erfüllung und das bei einer super sympathischen und professionellen Crew. Es hätte nicht besser/schöner sein können (meiner Meinung nach) wir haben Orcas, Buckelwale und Finnwale gesehen. Ich kann Njord Adventuers nur bestens weiterempfehlen 🐳🐋

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

After researching options I’m very glad to have booked with Njord. Every day out in the sea is different and in many ways the sea gods blessed us on our tour, but I’d go out with them again any day. Great combo of care for the guests and marine 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!

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.

Excellent safari!
