Whale watching adventure from Tromsø (Tromso)

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.

Es war ein wunderbarer Ausflug und wir hatten das Glück Orcas, Buckelwale und einen Finnwal zu sehen. Die Crew war supernett und hat uns viel Wissenswertes über die Wale berichtet. Das Boot hat jederzeit respektvoll Abstand zu den Tieren gehalten. Danke für diesen tollen Tag.

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.

Wirklich ganz ganz toll! Ein kleines Unternehmen , dem es wirklich wichtig ist, dass ihre Gäste glücklich sind und die sich sehr um ihre Gäste bemühen. Hannalena hat uns viel über die Wale erzählt und durch das schnelle Boot waren wir auch in 2.5h bei den Walen. Wir haben ganz viele Wale gesehen , es war atemberaubend schön und trotzdem wurden die Tiere in ihrer natürliche Umgebung respektiert ( nicht zu nah dran gefahren, verfolgt etc). Als die meisten Boote umgekehrt sind , sind wir noch weiter gefahren und haben noch ein paar Walspots aufgesucht da noch etwas Tageslicht da war. Das sticht gegenüber anderen Anbietern definitiv hervor. Auch die kleine Gruppengröße von höchstens 30 , macht die Tour sehr privat und entspannt. Es gab die ganze Tour über gratis Tee und Kaffee sowie Suppe . Wir haben uns wirklich sehr sehr wohl gefühlt und hatten den besten Tag seit langem. Auf der Rückfahrt konnten wir sogar noch Polarlichter sehen. Danke 🤗 bucht diese Tour , ihr werdet es nicht bereuen .

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.

Amazing Tour and super friendly people with a lot of knowledge.

We had an incredible experience with Njord Adventures. The boat was the perfect size-large enough to be comfortable, but small enough to feel personal and uncrowded.

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!

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

Gestern waren wir mit Njord Adventures auf Whalewatching Tour. Es ist absolut empfehlenswert. Auf dem Weg hin gibt es einen kleinen Vortrag über die Wale die man sehen könnte. Wir waren eines der ersten Boote bei den Walen und man merkt den Guides ihre Liebe zu den Tieren wirklich an. Alle haben die Zeit vergessen und wir waren bis es zu dunkel wurde um etwas zu sehen im Fjord. Es wurde sehr respektvoll mit den Walen umgegangen. Andere Boote sind nahezu in die Wale reingefahren, bei uns kamen die Wale von selbst sehr nah ans Boot. Hannaleena und ihre Crew waren sehr hilfsbereit und immer sehr sehr freundlich. Sie haben sich gegen das Arbeiten in einem Unternehmen entschieden, das gegen die ethischen Grundsätze der Welt der Wale arbeitet und sich selbstständig gemacht. Auf dem Rückweg gab es Suppe und Hannaleena hat nochmals erklärt, welche Wale wir gesehen haben. In unserem Fall Finnwale, Orcas und Buckelwale. Das Team hilft auch bei der Wal Research und beobachtet genau, welche Wale im Fjord auftauchen. Sollten wir wieder mal in tromso sein, ist eine Tour mit Njord Adventures fester Programmpunkt vielen Dank euch für diesen unvergesslichen Tag

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!

Amazing experience!!! Thanks so muuuuch!

Es war einfach perfekt!

Very lucky ，看到好多鱼，好多好多鱼

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

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.

Fantastic experience!
Well organised, we stayed longer than other tour providers offer due to the boat being able to get there and back quicker
Crew very knowledgeable, passionate about the whales and kind.
Nice coffee & chocolate onboard is a good bonus!
Highly recommended, would do it again!

Ottima esperienza. La nave era dotata di tutti i comfort necessari (bagno, sedute comode, tavolini e spazio esterno) con un massimo di 36 persone, che penso sia un plus rispetto alle navi da 200 persone. La guida e il capitano sono stati eccezionali: ci hanno spiegato molto bene tutte le fasi dell'attività, lasciando spazio a domande/chiarimenti e soprattutto ci hanno fatto godere ogni singolo momento, rispettando anche il silenzio in alcuni momenti cruciali. Sono stati molto rispettosi dell'ambiente e degli animali marittimi incontrati, cercando di non interferire nelle loro attività, ma facendoci comunque avvicinare abbastanza da creare un momento bellissimo.
Alla fine dell'attività ci son state spiegate le diverse specie incontrate, con tanto di immagini e cartoline ricordo.
Consigliatissimo, attività locale da sostenere assolutamente!

An absolutely incredible day! 😍😍😍
We're coming home with wonderful memories 🥰
A very friendly team who gave us lots of information about orcas and whales ☺️

My only bucket list dream was to see orcas in the wild, and Njord Adventures made that possible! We had the most incredible experience right beside the orcas while they rode the waves next to us. 10/10 experience!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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! 🐋❄️💙

Uns wurde empfohlen, eine Walbeobachtungstour mit einem kleineren Boot zu machen und nicht mit einem Katamaran. Also haben wir uns für Njord Adventures und ihr Boot „MS Sylvkallen“ entschieden.
Das war eine gute Wahl. Wir haben uns an Bord sehr wohl gefühlt, den ganzen Tag über gab es kostenlose Heißgetränke und Kekse, und zum Mittagessen wurde uns sogar eine heiße Suppe serviert.

Hannaleena hab uns eine Präsentation und viele Informationen über Wale und darüber, warum wir mit dem Boot genau dorthin gefahren sind, wo wir waren. Auch sonst hat sie alle Fragen ausführlich beantwortet.

Das Wal-Erlebnis war fantastisch. Natürlich ist das Natur und außerhalb menschlichen Einflusses – aber wir wurden wirklich verwöhnt: Finnwale, Buckelwale und unzählige Orkas.

Der Kapitän Jørn hat alles getan, um uns so nah wie möglich an die Tiere heranzubringen – jedoch immer mit dem nötigen Respekt ihnen gegenüber. Ich hatte nie das Gefühl, dass wir ihre natürlichen Verhaltensweisen gestört haben.

Wegen der enormen Menge an Tieren hat der Kapitän uns etwas mehr Zeit bei den Walen gegeben, so dass wir wirklich ein grandioses Erlebnis hatten.

Fantastic tour, the crew, the boat, and of course the whales were perfect. We spent a lot of time with the whales and even stayed a bit longer than expected to enjoy some very close encounters. We saw 25+ orcas and a couple of humpback whales. Highly recommend!

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

100% recommend this company!

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.

Cant recommend this company enough. Easy to book, easy to find. Boat was so cool, gave you a real feel of adventure standing out on the deck cruising through the fjords, but also with the luxury of the warm indoor cabins with tea and coffee readily avaliable. I think our tour was fully booked but it didnt feel crowded at all. The team on board were fab giving loads of information about where we were heading, what animals maybe there for us too see, giving warning if it was going to be bumpy too. When we arrived to find the whales they were so respectful of giving the whales space to do their thing, but also getting us to the perfect spot to see too. After seeing the whales we headed back, warming up with soup in the cabin. Fantastic day for our whole family a trip ive been wanting to do for a long time. If you want to go whale watching 100% use Njord Adventures.

We joined a whale tour with Njord Adventures on their small boat. Even though it was fully booked with around 40 people, it never felt crowded. Our guide Hannaleena was very friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly.

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!

Definitely book here! A small Norwegian company that truly does everything possible to give you the best experience. The highlight of our trip was seeing the orcas and the fin whale. The crew went above and beyond to make this possible, while always respecting the animals and never disturbing them — unlike some other boats we saw. We’re very happy we chose this company. The team showed great respect for both wildlife and guests. An excellent and unforgettable experience!

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

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.

It was a really nice experience to participate in whale safari. Those memories will last quiet a long time. The crew was amazing an very helpful. Their hospitality was on the highest level. I truly recommend to choose Njord Adventures.

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！

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!

200+ orcas in one day ... what an amazing day this was, I cant thank you guys and recommend your company enough ... Thanks for the memories

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!

Thankful for this great experience. The communication was on point and the service just great. With patience we were lucky to see Orcas and humpback whales. We were given plenty of time to watch, enjoy and take pictures. I got to know a lot more about the whales we saw than imagined. Thank you Njord team for making our trip extra special.

What an amazing day whale watching with this company! The boat was so comfortable and very fast, we got to the feeding area in 2.5 hours and spent over 2 hours watching humpbacks and orcas. They moved around the boat to follow sightings and it allowed us to see so many orcas and humpbacks. The tour group is small so this allows everyone the opportunity to witness these mammals in their natural habitat, everyone has a clear view. I would recommend this company to anyone and if we ever come back, I will be using them again. Fantastic memories made. Thanks so much to all at Njord Adventures!

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!

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

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!

Muy buena experiencia. Ése día era especialmente frío y no vimos demasiada actividad. Pero los fiordos, el ambiente y las orcas que nos rondaron junto con dos breves ballenas a lo lejos hicieron un día para recordar.
El grupo es muy reducido permitiendo disfrutar más de la actividad.
En el barco hay café, té, sopa, chocolate caliente y galletas para disfrutar de un descanso entre los avistamientos en el exterior.
