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!

Prachtige ervaring begeleidt door een topduo. Op meerdere locaties orka's en bultrugwalvissen gespot. En op terugweg nog een mooi extraatje gekregen, nl het noorderlicht

Wow! I can't think of a better way to describe the adventure we had with Njord Adventures in Tromsø last Saturday. The experience we booked was even better than expected. We had the opportunity to watch the whales up close, and we were given lots of information. The whole crew was fantastic — so kind, and always pointing out where the orcas were coming from. I would definitely recommend booking a whale-watching tour here, and if we ever come back, this is the tour we want to take again.

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

Lifetime experience! 🤩 friendly and helpful crew, safe boat and fantastic views of Whales, Orcas and fjords! 🐋

Just awsome 💙🐳🐋

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

We had cookies, tea, coffee and chocolate on board. During the journey there, guides shared us information about the whales we are going to see. We felt absolutely comfortable and welcomed on the boat, we found a pod of orcas that swam close to our boat and followed us too! Close up footage of the whales were on videos that I couldn't upload on Google reviews unfortunately. Time to go see for yourself.

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.

Fantastic unique experience today, thank you so much ”Njord Adventures”, a day to remember 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🐋

Amazing experience. Today's experience was incredible. Not only did we see multiple orca but we got to see two humpback whales and the Northern lights on the ride back in. Words can not explain how great this trip was. The knowledge of the local guide Hannaleena was fantastic and the boat skipper Daniel did a great job of getting us close to the whales and keeping them safe.
Thankyou for an incredible day

Memorable journey with Njord Adventures. Small group, very polite and kind stuff, helpful and dedicated to participants, they informed us at all times about whales around us. Very nice gesture at the end by giving us a small souvenir for the time we enjoyed with them. If I were to do this experience again , I would choose Njord as well.

Simply lovely Had an amazing trip with this company. People with so much passion and very open-minded. We saw 4 species of whales!😍

Highly recommend to book your trip here

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.

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!

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! 🥰😍

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

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

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!

One of the best whale watching tours ever. Thank you for your fantastic and informative tour. Everything was great and we felt very well looked after. Thx Hannaleena and Daniel. Always professional and super relaxed.

Amazing experience, we were lucky and we saw a group of orcas and two humpback whales, they were really close, the wales also passed under our boat!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Ausflug mit Njord Adventures. Die Kommunikation war von Anfang an sehr gut – wir haben die Tour bereits einige Wochen vor unserer Reise nach Tromsø gebucht, da uns ein kleines Boot mit wenigen Teilnehmern besonders wichtig war.

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.

Excellent safari!

Simply amazing!! The crew is incredible, very friendly. You can literally feel they love what they are doing. Beyond our expectations.. If you are looking for something cozy, friendly and polite feeling, this is your go 😊

Perfect day with lots of whales, incredible scenery and an amazing crew My partner and me did the whale safari with Njord Adventures in mid-November 2025 and had an incredible day out in breathtakingly beautiful fjord scenery with lots of orcas, as well as several humpback whales and some fin whales (the latter didn't show much of themselves, but I trust our guide they were fin whales indeed) on a very comfy boat with an amazing crew.

While there is a bunch of whale watching tour operators in Tromsø to choose from, we were very happy we picked this one and highly recommend it for the following reasons (doesn't mean none of this applies to other operators as well, but for this one we can safely confirm):

• The code of conduct for responsible whale watching was perfectly followed. While we got very close especially to the orcas or rather they got close to us by themselves, great attention was paid not to harrass any whale with the boat.

• Thanks to the experience of the crew and their willingness also to spend more time for the tour and go further with the boat, we really saw a lot of whales, particularly orcas, and had plenty of time to watch and admire them.

• The crew, which consisted of our super friendly and knowledgeable guide Hannaleena and our experienced captain Jørn, was truly amazing. Hannaleena provided very interesting information about the whales (there was also a nice short presentation on the way to the whales) and took exceptional care of each passenger.

• Small boat with small group size. There are up to 36 passengers admitted on the boat. We were around 12 passengers that day, which created a very familiar and relaxed atmosphere, and the boat was super cosy and warm inside the cabin. (Only drawback: The boat might be a bit shakier than bigger boats in more turbulent waters, so my partner and me both felt a bit nauseous at some point on the way back, but neither we nor any of the other passengers required any of the sufficiently provided seasickness bags and Jørn manoeuvred the boat as calmly as possible.)

• We also very enjoyed the free hot drinks plus warm soup and cookies and I don't know whose playlist it was that we could listen to inside the cabin, but I very liked it.

So altogether, we had a fantastic experience with the whales and Northern Norwegian scenery. Thanks so much to Hannaleena and Jørn for the perfect day!

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!

Des conditions météo de notre côté, une traversée à travers les Fjord sublime avec des couleurs pastels. Des baleines, des orques, un aigle et pour couronner le tout des aurores boréales sur le chemin du retour. Les équipes à bord étaient exceptionnelles. Merci pour ce rêve éveillé ! Une émotion rare de voir tout cela.

Es war einfach perfekt!

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!

Nous avons vécu une superbe expérience avec Njord Adventures. Le personnel est accueillant, souriant et très compétent. Le petit bateau, à la fois chaleureux et confortable, permet une sortie agréable et conviviale.

Nous avons eu beaucoup de chance : orques et baleines étaient au rendez-vous ! Tout au long de l’excursion, l’équipe a veillé à respecter pleinement les animaux, en gardant toujours la bonne distance — ni trop près, ni trop loin — ce que nous avons beaucoup apprécié.

Une sortie magnifique que nous recommandons vivement. Une expérience à vivre au moins une fois !

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

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

excellent experience

Excellent day out 🐋 We had an incredible day out with NjordAdventures. Orcas, humpback and fin whales in the space of a few hours! I had the pleasure of sharing this experience with friends and family, most of whom had never seen orcas before so it was very moving to see their reactions. A huge thanks to the guide Hannaleena and skipper Jørn for this amazing experience. If you wish to go whale watching from Tromso for the day, look no further then NjordAdventures! They are truly passionate about what they do and keep a respectful distance from the animals, allowing them to approach the boat on their own terms.

Thanks again!

Amazing even though I was sea sick. Amazing explanations, I would have loved even more. The boat was decent size so we were not too many compared to some boats we saw. I really appreciate the respect the crew had for the wild life

Fantastic trip. Very friendly and open minded people with so much passion. They do the tours with much respect for the wildlife. We saw 4 species of whales😍 Highly recommend this company to book an amazing trip!
