5.00Amazing trip - we were so lucky to see many whales up very close to the boat! Well organised, they provide the suit and life jacket and they are experts in whales. Lovely team, super helpful. Good facilities at the ticket office including parking, petrol and clean toilets. We saw whales within a few minutes and throughout the trip. The rib is much more comfortable than it looks!
Fantastic whale watching tour!

5.00We booked the Whale watching tour on the speedboat in end of May. This is not primetime whale season but the staff of Arctic See Tours is skilled and knowledgable and we were able to see multiple humpbags up close. The boat allows you to get to the whale quickly after it is sighted but the crew is very respectful to the animals and turns of the engine well in advance of reaching it allowing the whales to come close, you still have to get lucky with the character of the whale and how willing it is to stay to the surface and get close to the boat. Given the scenery of the the fjord the trip on the water with the boat alone was already worth the price. I would definitely recommend it. I went on a cold (close to freezing) but sunny and dry day.
Amazing experience

5.00We headed out from Dalvik an early afternoon in cloudy and foggy weather. We had hoped to enjoy the view of the fjord and surrounding mountains, but that was all covered in clouds. Hence our hopes were not high even though the guide assured us that humpbacks had been spotted that morning. The captain set a northern course at full throttle and we got busy hanging on to the handles and covering the ears against the cold headwind. After a good stretch, the clouds lifted a bit and the captain reduced the speed. Then, suddenly, through the fog towards the horizon, we saw the iconic silhouette of a jumping humpback! As we approached the area, we saw a couple of humpbacks surfacing for air and followed them until they dived. Next, we approached what seemed to be a mother and a young humpback. The young one was very playful and jumped out of the water a dozen times and swam in front of the boat waving its fin in the air. This was an absolutely breath-taking sight which we will never forget. Going whale watching will always be a bit of a lottery, but Arctic Sea Tours has the experience and equipment to maximize the chances of success. The Express tour is not for elderly or very young children, but the suspension seats makes it as comfortable as possible and our 10-year old had no problem on this tour with calm wind. Tip: bring proper winter gloves, warm socks and put up the hood of the suit before the boat leaves the harbour.
