Silent Whale Watching by Hybrid-Electric Boat from Tromsø
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Get a unique perspective on the majestic Humpbacks, Fin, Sperm whales and/or Orca's as they feed in the herring-rich fjords of the Arctic. With purpose made hybrid-electric boats for whale watching, we minimise disturbance to nature and whales.
Leaving Tromsø in the morning, we head to where the whales are in time to enjoy the short hours of daylight. On the way you can take in the breathtaking views of frozen landscapes in comfortable, panoramic lounges and 2 decks.
We use a hybrid engine to reach the whale’s feeding grounds, and as we near the whales, we switch to a silent electric engine that allows us to get closer without disturbing them.
Please note that the duration of the trip depends on the whales’ location. It takes up to 3.5 hours to get to the whales and can therefore range from 8-9 hours.
Please note that whale sightings are not guaranteed.

Very exciting experience

5.00Very good organized. We saw a lot of whales. And the crew had a lot of knowledge about them and also about the region. It was very informative.
Great boat but average whale views

4.00The boat is lovely, really clean and smart, and the crew were excellent, friendly and very informative. They gave lots of talks about the whales which were really interesting; the only thing would be perhaps a bit less on the return journey as everyone was shattered! The scenery on the journey was absolutely stunning with snowy mountains. We saw orcas and humpbacks which was amazing! We also saw a white tailed eagle. It was a shame as our boat didn’t seem to go anywhere near as close as others-which may reflect the ethos of the silent engine, but it was disappointing to see other boats able to have better views. We were also very disappointed to leave just as we were the closest we had been to both the orcas and humpbacks. We had about 1 hour and ten minutes watching for the whales; the rest was all sailing there and back-4 hours either way. Couldn’t fault the crew or boat, but very disappointing to only have 1 hour with average views of the whales. A long trip especially for children. Pastries and soup available to buy, and coffee refills are free-if you want a more substantial lunch you would need to take it with you.
Good day!

4.00Great experience seeing the Orcas, Humpbacks and even got lucky and saw the Northern Lights on the way back in. The activities were great and the staff were friendly and very informative. The ship was very full and seating felt cramped. It was hard to get comfortable with everyone sitting so closely and having to hold all the winter gear with no where to put it. Nothing was included on this expensive excursion. They need to offer at least free coffee or teas. Charging for every little thing in a long excursion is a bit annoying. The WiFi did not work at all the entire trip like it states it has. There is room for improvement here.
Highly Recommend Book Now

5.00Arrived early (recommended if you want a window seat) to a modern boat, warm cabin, good amenities, friendly crew. We had a reasonably calm but cold day. The views were spectacular with the snow capped mountains and lit villages against the polar night. Quite magical landscape. We were very lucky to see a family of Orca. It is quite something to see them in their natural habitat. The guides were great and throughout the journey they gave you information about the area, Tromso, whales and history of whaling. Really insightful and learnt a few things I didn’t know before. Soup was good too!
Stunning scenery with wildlife as an added bonus!

5.00Lovely modern boat, friendly knowledgeable crew, very informative onboard presentations. Scenery was stunning, we saw humpback whales, fin whale and a pod of orca hunting. To top it all we also spotted a sea eagle! Then the Northern Lights on the return to port. This was the highlight of our visit to Tromso. Worth the money.
Disappointing tour

3.00We had booked a tour especially at 6am. Yesterday came the call that this is not happening because the boat is broken. We were offered the tour at 9 a.m. That's what we did. The boat was manned by over 120 people, making it very crowded. We quickly drove off to the first whale sightings. Unfortunately, we always stayed very far away - other boats stayed much closer even with a certain distance. After less than 90 minutes in the fjords where whales could be in it we went back again a 9 hour tour which lasted less than 6 hours. Very disappointing !!! I wouldn't book here anymore
Disaster waiting to happen

2.00Boat was packed to maximum capacity with 140 passengers. Most of passengers were European with very little English spoken. The crew did a fantastic job organising everyone. Information about conservation and whaling interesting. We saw orcas which was great and they swam along side the boat. We went out further into Lynden islands but the weather was turning bad to captain turned boat around at 12.30 pm. Plates and glasses were sliding off the tables.. Boat went so slow returning why? Because it had an open bar at 1 pm and what do Europeans love to do? l have never seen so many empty bottles and glasses in my life. Not to mention how loud they were , all talking over the top of each other. Pushing and shoving to get best views of orcas sightings. Two sitting next to me were doing tiktok clips and posting them. Crew kept disappearing into a small doored area to get more alcohol. Then 10 minutes before docking. Passengers all surged to the exit door and tried to get off the boat and kept trying to open the door which was bolted shut. NEVER would l recommend this tour.
One of the best designed...

5.00Lovely boat, great guides, hot drinks and snacks available. Leave on the 0745 tour 3 hours to get to the feeding grounds, . Well worth the trip. We saw hump backs and a minker whale which was last seen 5 years ago, you can take your own drinks and food, the guides give presentations on whales etc while sailing to feeding site, wrap up warm it’s gets very cold, when out on deck, the cabin is nice and warm
