Whale watching adventure from Tromsø (Tromso)
From Mid-October to January, the fjords north of Tromsø come alive with orcas, humpback whales and fin whales as they gather for their yearly feast on Atlantic herring. Experience a personal and hassle-free whale safari, where you can witness these ocean giants in their natural environment, while taking in the raw, untamed beauty of Northern Norway.
Come share a day with us, the whales, and the beauty of Northern Norway!

At Njord Adventures, we offer our guests an unforgettable opportunity to observe marine life in its natural habitat while sharing insights into its behaviour and biology. We are committed to delivering a safe, educational and inspirational day out at sea, while giving wildlife the respect and space they deserve and require.
As a small, privately-owned business, our goal is to provide our guests with a whale watching experience that feels both professional and personal. Small group sizes, friendly and experienced crew, and respect for wildlife are all things you can expect from us.






Our boat MS Sylvkallen is the smallest boat offering daily whale watching trips from Tromsø. You can get closer to the elements while still having the comfort of warm indoor lounges.
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.

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.

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
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.

Jeune équipe, à votre écoute, vous informe tout au long de la croisière.
Biscuit, café, chocolat chaud, soupes à bord en libre service.
The boat is great, plenty of space. The journey, whilst long, is stunning. The crew are knowledgable and friendly and they get you close enough to be in awe of these wonderful creatures whilst still respecting their space.
It was a really magical and emotional day which I'll never forget and I'd recommend this trip to anyone visiting Tromsø.

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!

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
