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.






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

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.

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 !


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

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!

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!

Fantastisk Hvalsafari Utrolig fin og flott natur opplevelse med Sylvkallen. Guiden og skipperen ombord var faglig veldig dyktige og utrolig trivelige personer.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!

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.
