Fabulous experience! I was lucky enough to win this tour. Communication, friendliness and the tour itself was good. Although its a small boat tour, we were taken in a big boat to increase chances of seeing them, being end of season. We did see a few including orcas.

Aufgrund des Schnellbootes waren wir die Ersten vor Ort. Somit konnten wir eine gewisse Zeit die Orcas alleine beobachten und die wunderschöne Natur genießen. Die Crew war super. Das Boot war im Inneren beheizt und sehr bequem. Man konnte zu jeder Zeit an Deck gehen. Aufgrund der kleinen Reisegruppe hatte auch jeder einen guten Platz um die Tiere zu beobachten. Der respektvolle Umgang mit den Tieren stand für die Crew an erster Stelle. Es gab Kaffee, Tee und Kekse sowie eine Suppe. Wir können diese Tour mit Njord Adventure einfach nur weiterempfehlen.

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

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.

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.

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

We went on a whale safari today.
What a great experience!
We saw humpback whales and orcas.
Thanks to Hannaleena, Daniel and Jørn

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

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

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

Amazing!!

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!

Njord Adventures saved us from a bad day due to other trip cancellation without having got any information. They were really available for onboarding us and, thanks to their professionality we got a fantastic Whale watching tour! Thank you!

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!

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 !

Absolutely unforgettable experience!

This whale watching tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They explained everything clearly and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey.

We were lucky enough to see whales up close, and the crew handled the encounter with great respect for the animals and nature. The boat was well maintained, warm, and comfortable, and the overall organization was excellent.

You can really feel their passion for what they do. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tromsø — this is a must-do experience!

Thank you for an amazing memory. We would 100% do it again!

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

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!

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!

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 ☺️

Hey Hannaleena, Daniel and Jørn,
You were very responsive and quick with answers. The boat is beautiful, fast, safe and comfortable: the best option when starting in Tromsø. We were lucky with weather conditions and the wales pleased to show up. Thank you for your hospitality and the unforgettable ride. Emilie&Stefan

Den här turen är 5 av 5.
En otrolig Guide som delar så fint med sig av sina kunskaper. De respekterar djuren..vilket säkert djuren förstår.
Denna dag kom de till båten och var nyfikna..istället för att jaga dem.
Trygg båt. Kaptenen av båten otroligt bra.
Säger bara.
Välj detta bolag! ❤️❤️❤️

excellent experience

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!

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

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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! 🐋❄️💙

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!

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!

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

Just awsome 💙🐳🐋

It was a perfect day! Amazing crew with a perfectly sized ship and group. We had the best time ever with the most magical views! And they are very respectful towards the whales and always told us where to see them. 1000% recommend!

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!

We had a fantastic whale watching trip with the Njord team. We got to spend several hours surrounded by Orcas/Killer Whales as they went about their business! Not only that, but we also got to see Little Auks and Sea Eagles, and the scenery through the fjords was absolutely stunning! Hannaleena and Daniel were very welcoming. We had unlimited access to hot drinks and biscuits. The boat was warm and comfortable. Hannaleena was extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions and share information.

It's amazing!!!

Ein Traum ging in Erfüllung ❤️ Es war phantastisches Erlebnis, absolut liebe und professionelle Crew, die sich immer Zeit genommen hat und gerne ihr Wissen teilte. Mein Sohn und ich waren so begeistert, daß wir den Tag drauf auch nochmal mit dabei waren. Am ersten Tag haben wir viele Orcas gesehen, am zweiten Tag kamen dann noch Buckelwale und Finnwale dazu. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

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.

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

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!

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.
