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.

From November 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 watching adventure, 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!







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.

07/03/2024It takes quite long, about 2 hours one way, to get to where the whales are and we had very rough seas, so we couldn't go outside on the way there. When we got to the whales we saw lots... READ MORE of orcas end a few humpback whales in the distance, but we weren't there for that long before we had to go back. The staff is very friendly though and tried to make the best of it for us, but I do feel that it is quite expensive for a trip that has such long travel times. All the other trips from Tromso also seem to have such long travel times to get to where the whales are.

Bucket list ✔️ We saw plenty of orcas, humpback whales and even white tailed eagles. The scenery was like something from a movie. The journey there and back did get rough in places but we were warned out this.... READ MORE The highlight of the trip was obviously seeing the whales in their natural habitat but what made it even more special was the boat didn’t feel crowed and we all had plenty of space. Its a nice warm boat with plenty of seating. Hannaleena was an awesome guide too so thank you! 🙏🏼

The best orca excursion you can go on while in Tromsø!! Don’t even bother looking at others. The staff were amazing and friendly. The boat is clean and ran beautifully. I suggest bringing snacks/lunch with you. There was plenty of... READ MORE hot water and coffee with cookies/crackers. The light lunch provided was instant soup though. This was the highlight of my trip! Thank you guys again!!

07/03/2023It was a great journey and it was fantastic to see the Whales. There are a few Points that were not good. There was no coffee Milk for the Coffee. The W-Lan was not functioning, wich made the hours travelling... READ MORE very long and for our Child boring. But the length, the Guide and the Crew were perfect.

08/03/2024Highly recommended, one of the best tours I've ever been on. Yes, we saw loads of orca's, humpbacks and fin whales. Which made the day perfect ofcourse, but this is something out of the control of the guides. ... READ MORE Why I give 5 stars and would urge you to book this whale tour? - Daniel and Hannelene are passionate about whales themselves, they really enjoy what they are doing. The knowledge and boatmanship is endless. The enthusiasm is amazing. - Smaller groups, intimate tour - The boat is quick, comfortable, stable and the viewing decks are spacious. - They give the whales space and respect them as animals, this tour is not to make money and drive over whales. Like some of the other boats. Book this tour, you will never regret it.

07/01/2025Geweldige tour met een geweldige staff aan boord. We zagen tientallen orcas, enkele humpback whales en zelfs sperm whales. De boot was voorzien van verschillende soorten koffie en thee en was niet overvol met mensen.

Very nice tour with skilled guide and captain. One clear benefit, our boat was much quicker than some of the other tours.

07/03/2023Very nice guide, professional, informative but not invasive, always ready to give answers and information and taking good care of all the guests. Very nice captain. cozy boat, respectful of whales (not aggressively getting close to the animals). Highly recommended!... READ MORE factor in that, depending on the day the boat ride can be long... for us it was 3 hours of navigation to get to the spot where whales were feeding, worth every single minute of navigation. If you have motion sickness - again depending on the weather conditions - take some medicine to prevent it.

We're just coming back from the tour, and it was much more than we had ever expected!! A truely amazing day, full of orcas and humpbacks dancing around us 🙂

07/03/2024This was an amazing tour! The boat was great, it was warm inside and outside was perfect for looking for whales. The group size was just right as it wasn’t so busy you couldn’t all see the whales when they... READ MORE pass the boat. We saw lots of orcas, a few humpbacks and a fin whale. The main reason we saw so many was purely thanks to the amazing tour guide, she was always looking out for whales and this meant we were always the first tour to see whales before other boats would show up about 5 minutes later. The scenery was so amazing even if we didn’t see whales we would have had a great time. One of the best tours I’ve ever done, highly recommend!

07/12/2024Great whale watching tour. We saw lots of humpback whales and orcas. The crew was considerate with driving around the whales and very knowledgeable with answering all our questions.
