    ⛴️ The hybrid ship is perfect for anyone prone to seasickness. It is incredibly quiet and very stable. 🗻 The three-hour ride to the hotspot was beautiful with mountain views, and seeing the orcas was unforgettable. Plenty of space on board, ideal for taking great photos. 📷 Tip for photographers: bring a 300–600mm lens. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Amazing crew. Very friendly, professional and always helpful. Special thanks to Massi, Queen B, Tobias, Torkan and Viktor!

  • Waste of time and money

    Definitely a waste of time and money, on 9 hours of activity, only 1 hour of proper whale watching. The 8 remaining hours are travel time to and from where the whales actually are. During those, you will have to face presentations on several topics that you can compare highschool students presentations… some of them are interesting, but so many of them during 8 hours is really boring. The ship is filled with as many people as it can take, and the place where you go to see the whales is crowded with ships (5 ships when we arrived there, then you need to add the 3 ships of brim explorer) For people who wants to focus on whale watching with a quick trip and less crowded experience, I would recommend doing it in Alta more than in Tromsø.

  • We had a fantastic time!

    Our trip started with a 3–4 hour boat ride that showed us the beautiful Tromsø fjords. As we continued toward the open North Sea, we were lucky enough to see several families of orcas – an absolutely unforgettable experience! The crew was wonderful throughout the entire journey, sharing lots of interesting knowledge bits about whales, the marine ecosystem, and many other insights. The boat itself was very clean and well maintained, and you could really tell that the crew was passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. A great experience for both young and old — highly recommended!

    The boat's fine. Bad luck, we haven't seen any animals except several seagulls. 9 hours of travel, all day, to enjoy a phenomenal landscape but the sense of disappointment that we did not see what we came to see. Too bad. It's what's got to trust things to a lucky break. You have to stay with how positive the magnificent cruise through a dream landscape is. It will be again, or maybe it will never be again.

  • Memorable experience, but deceived by confusing information

    The whole experience was memorable, but we felt a bit deceived. We were in the group that first took the bus trip, and then boarded the boat to do the whale watching and returned to Tromso by boat. The bus was ok, but not much leg space. The guide was experienced and spotted white tailed eagles on our way. The trip by bus is very beautiful. However, we felt misled by the unorganised check in experience at the meeting point and the website gives confusing information. First, we weren’t aware that there would be a division of the passengers. One group went by boat, and returned to Tromso by bus, and the 2nd group did the other way around. Our main interest in this experience was to be able to search and see as many animals we could on board of the boat (not only killer whales). However, we probably had less time with daylight on board than the first group. By the time we were returning to Tromso, most of the trip on the boat was nearly in the dark.

  • Ok, whales seen, altogether too expensive and not very comfortable! Landscape very beautiful!

    We looked at 2h humpback whales. Unfortunately, we didn't go further to see orcas. It would have been good to drive on after half an hour. The crew on board was very friendly and nice. Overall, however, the ship is very narrow. Especially in winter with backpacks jackets and everything you need to have with you, it is almost impossible. Because the floor is wet you can't put anything under the bench. The boat was fully booked. Every seat is taken.

  • Nice staff/ Boring cruise

    This tour was supposed to include a tour of the fjord near Tromso and wildlife viewing. I have to say that this was the most boring dissapointing boat tour I have ever been on. We saw zero wildlife and basically just slowly cruised around the fjord with no clear focus for hours before returning back. We made a stop at a fish drying area which was underwhelming and paused to see a Cold War era dry dock entrance. The food was expensive and pretty meager. One small bowl of soup and a single half piece of bread. We paid for extra snacks to keep us going. I would recommend saving your money and shop in Tromso instead. The staff were nice which is why I gave it 2 and not 1 star.

  • Fabulous trip

    This tour was amazing. Very special, so informative and educational, as they say every day is a school day. Karl and Julia were wonderful guides and crew were very nice. All staff were very quick to point out wildlife to us, we were lucky enough to see porpoises, the white tail eagle and the exceptionally rare moose dog. Ok it was just a big dog but we enjoyed it none the less. Unfortunately we did not have cash to tip the crew and guides so this will have to do. If you get the chance book up and enjoy! Thanks everyone
