Whale watching adventure from Tromsø (Tromso)

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!

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!

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

Had a fantastic two days of watching orcas, humpback and fin whales with NjordAdventures. Would highly reccomend booking a tour with them if you wish to go whale watching from Tromso in winter. The crew are very passionate about what they do and want you to have the best experience possible whilst also following good practices to avoid disturbing the whales.

Will definetly be coming back to Tromso again and booking more tours with them!

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.

Nach zahlreichen erfolglosen Whale Watching Tours in allen Ländern hat mir Njord Adventures endlich meinen Traum erfüllt Orcas in freier Wildbahn hautnah zu erleben. Die Tour war mit Abstand die Beste, die ich bisher erlebt habe. Die Crew hat uns mit sehr viel Rücksicht & genügend Abstand zu den Tieren einen magischen Tag geschenkt. Wir haben super viele Orcas und Buckelwale gesehen. Das Boot ist sehr komfortabel. Für heiße Getränke, eine saubere Toilette an Board ist gesorgt. Was mir besonders gut gefallen hat, ist das wir uns sehr lange bei den Tieren aufgehalten haben. Der Kapitän hat uns immer wieder Richtung der Wale gebracht, ohne zu aufdringlich zu den Tieren zu sein. Ich kann diese Tour zu 1000% empfehlen und bin froh, dass ich mich für diesen kleineren Anbieter entschieden habe. Es waren nur ca 30 Menschen. Jeder hatte einen bequemen Platz und auch beim Fotografieren und Filmen hatten wir alle genug Platz, um etwas zu sehen. Tausend Dank an Njord Adventures!

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

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!

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.

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

It was a great tour and we saw a little of Or as, some Humpback whales and one fin whale.
Great!

Thank you for a lovely day out in the Norwegian Fiords, watching humpback whales, orcas and birds. The boat was very comfortable and the guides very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this activity with Njord Adventures when you are in Tromso.

10/10 Tour!! Nur zu empfehlen
Unsere Tour war am 07.01.2026
Wir sind um 8:30 Uhr gestartet mit einer entspannten und vor allem schönen Tour. Unser Guide hat uns viel erzählt.
Was alles so perfekt macht, war das wir als erstes da waren, mit am längsten geblieben sind und am Ende noch mit den Orcas fuhren. Ich kann alles nur empfehlen!

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.

We went out today and saw many orcas and whales. The boat is fast and small. Its the perfect way to get to the Orcas. We loved every moment. Dress very very warm. Thank you!

I had an absolutely amazing time on this whale watching tour! I am so happy I chose this company. The staff were incredibly responsible and dedicated, working so hard to make sure we saw both orcas and whales! The boat was very comfortable and cozy, and honestly, the biscuits provided were so delicious—I loved them! Hahaha!! The scenery along the way was breathtakingly beautiful. If I ever have the chance to visit Norway again, I will definitely book with this company again just to go whale hunting with them! Highly recommended!

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

We had a great trip and saw multiple large orca pods, saw 2 humpback whales and shortly a finn whale. The crew was very friendly and the boat has a good speed. It gets quite bumpy when passing areas closer to the ocean. Also be aware that the boat is driving a long distance until you reach the whale areas. However with Njord we have been one of the first boats there and left as the last boat - so we spend the most time of all other companies with the 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.

Nous ne regrettons pas d’avoir choisis Njord Adventure, si c’était à refaire ce serra avec eux.
Jeune équipe, à votre écoute, vous informe tout au long de la croisière.
Biscuit, café, chocolat chaud, soupes à bord en libre service.

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

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

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 🐳🐋

excellent experience

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！

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Unforgettable Experience with an Amazing Team!

What an absolutely fantastic company! Our whale and orca sightseeing tour in Tromsø was nothing short of unbelievable. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, warm, and personal. The two captains, who also acted as our guides, were truly wonderful—knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely excited to share their love for the ocean and its wildlife.

We went out on a small boat, which made the whole experience so much more intimate and special. We were incredibly lucky to see both orcas and whales up close, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The tour took a bit longer than planned, but every single minute was worth it—the owners’ total involvement and care for every guest really showed.

A few tips for anyone planning this adventure: dress very warmly, even in multiple layers, as it gets freezing out on the water. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take seasick medicine in advance, and be prepared—the waters can get quite rough at times.

This is not just another tour; it’s a heartfelt experience run by people who truly love what they do. I’ll definitely be back for another trip in a different season. Highly, highly recommended! 🐋❄️💙

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

Tolle Waltour mit einem Boot, welches nicht zu voll ist und respektvoll mit der Natur umgeht. Jederzeit wieder und sehr empfehlenswert!

I did a lot of research before landing at Njord Adventures and it was perfect. Im early 30s with my husband and my mom. Didnt want to be stuck on a large boat with a million people for 7 hours and wasnt ready for a RIB boat. Njord has a smaller vessel with comfortable seating and amenities, perfect for optimizing wild life viewing with easy access being indoors to get warm and being outside on the decks for the glorious views. Our guide was a true professional in educating and helping us spot all the sea life. We saw swarms of orcas, 2 humpbacks, and even a fin whale. Amazing experience, I highly recommend.

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!

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.

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

Had the most incredible day, I would reccomend this tour to anyone and everyone. After a failed tour with another company this tour exceeeded my expectations. We saw orcas, finn, and humpback whales it was truly sensational. Every direction you looked there were whales as far as the eye could see. We never felt rushed and spent hours watching them splash around. So thankful this tour was recommended to me and the crew were an absolutely delight, thank you so much for helping me tick this off my bucket list! 🥰😍

Very lucky ，看到好多鱼，好多好多鱼

Wir hatten einen fantastischen Tag an Bord der Sylvkallen. Die Crew war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Strecke führte an einem unglaublichen Panorama vorbei. Bei Skjervøy angekommen haben wir Buckelwale und Orcas gesehen, einfach unglaublich beeindruckend. Die Crew hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben, wir haben viel über die Wale, ihr Verhalten und die Gegend erfahren. Kurzum: wir sind begeistert und würden die Tour nochmal buchen

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.

Best for whale watching from Tromso What an amazing trip with a fantastic crew.
It was really great to be out with a group of friends and to be with such a responsible company.
I am also in the business of Whale watching and it was really great to share experience's with Jørn and Hannaleena who are excellent at their job.
We found plenty of Whales Orcas, Humpbacks and Fin and even a young Minke too.
There is plenty of comfort aboard the very capable SYLVKALLEN hot drinks avaible at any time and Soup after an exhilarating time with the whales on the way home.
Certainly i am planning to return next year.
Thank you for a great time and fantastic memory's

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

Amazing trip, well organised, not too many people on the boat so it’s very comfortable onboard, plenty of tea/coffee & biscuits available, crew very knowledgeable & easy to talk to. So so many whales to see both Humpback & Oracas. Would definitely go with this company again as very respectful of the area.

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!

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