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.

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.


We're coming home with wonderful memories 🥰
A very friendly team who gave us lots of information about orcas and 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.

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.

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!

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.

A dream come true What an absolute epic trip, to be able to watch whales in the wild (not captive in sea world) and with a great small crew with the knowledge and respect for the wilderness. The trip is fairly straightforward: you get into the boat they will sail into the Fjords where there's a higher chance to watch whales (about 1-2 hour sailing). Once there, the crew try to spot the whales from afar, sail towards them keeping a respectful distance from the whales to not scare or disturb them (we are the visitors). The crew is composed by only 2: Hannalena and the captain. It's also focused on very small groups, which makes it very personalised and relaxed. You also notice this is very different than the other money-driven tours out there. They want you to have a great experience with the whales, sharing knowledge facts and explaining that we are there to watch and respect the animals as much as possible. This is a must for me personally: we are here to respect nature!
I did the trip twice because of the amazing experience, and I hope you do it to. Trust me, it's worth it. Every time you watch a whale jump, dive, or just show their fins, you will experience absolute joy. Bring good clothes for the weather, since you will be watching whales from the deck of the boat. And once you feel you have seen enough, get inside the cabin and grab a coffee, hot chocolate, cookies, or a hot soup the crew has prepared for you!

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.

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!
