  • A fascinating trip on an historic boat

    Natalia and Halst (?) we're truly great hosts. There were two 8th - graders on work experience as well. All staff made us feel welcome, and there was a great atmosphere on the boat. Cups of tea and coffee were freely available and made for us too. Storied and anecdotes from the older staff kept us interested as we sailed through the stunning scenery of the fjords. We were lucky enough to see a white tailed eagle swooping down after circling the boat for quite some time. Halst threw some fish heads into the water, and we were treated to a spectacle of nature as this enormous creature came down to take the fish head. We also saw some seals in the distance, but we think they were scared off by some horses riding along the shoreline, so sadly, we didn't get to see them up close and personal. All in all, it was a very worthwhile experience.

    A very experience despite the weather. The crew is very careful. The walk is worth it, the scenery is very beautiful. The explanations are interesting, about the history of the boat and the area. They take us to areas where we are likely to see eagles and seals.

  • Wonderful trip

    I love it! Totally no clue what to expect. Only saw the offering when I walked past the shop. The team, led by Trulst(sp.. Sorry!) was very customer oriented. They saw to our needs and I cld tell they have high level of safety precautions in place. The wildlife sighting was cool, the history and stories about Tromso(WW2, Hermes) were even better. Great activity!
