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.
What a great experience!
We saw humpback whales and orcas.
Thanks to Hannaleena, Daniel and Jørn
This whale watching tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They explained everything clearly and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey.
We were lucky enough to see whales up close, and the crew handled the encounter with great respect for the animals and nature. The boat was well maintained, warm, and comfortable, and the overall organization was excellent.
You can really feel their passion for what they do. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tromsø — this is a must-do experience!
Thank you for an amazing memory. We would 100% do it again!

Fantastic day enjoyed by us all
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!

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.


Hannalena was a great enthusiastic guide.

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.

Jeune équipe, à votre écoute, vous informe tout au long de la croisière.
Biscuit, café, chocolat chaud, soupes à bord en libre service.
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 !

The best compromise in therms of comfort and speed, plus an amazing guide! The trip with Njord Adventures was unforgettable! I’ve done the whales tour before with other boats and, in my opinion, theirs have a good compromise with size, speed and comfort. It’s only 2h30 to reach the fjords where the whales are, which allowed us to stay much more time around there to try to spot them. We spend a long time enjoying Orcas and Hampacks and got a beautiful gift in the end with a curious Orca playing sooo close to the boat. And that was thankful to them that pushed a bit longer as the weather was good and they could spot more animals around. We had a safe trip, they respect the animals, their space, the distance. We had hot drinks and snacks available the whole time and soup on the way back. Jørn sailed us very safely and also safe for the whales. Hannaleena was super kind, full of knowledge and very passionate. She was all the time checking the fjords to try to spot them. We had explanations about the weather conditions, what to expect and all the details of the whales we’ve seen and their behavior. We were even more lucky to get crazy Northern Lights on the way back, as the weather was completely clear. I totally recommend them! Happy birthday Hannaleena !


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.

Great experience We had a great experience with njord adventures! We saw a lot of orcas and they were so close to us! The boat is very cozy and warm inside.
There is a coffee machine and tea, it is very nice.
Outside the boat there is enough place for every one.
The crew is so excited to find animals and we got a lot of new and interesting information.
We will definitely choose njord adventures next time!
