The boat trip was awesome! You HAVE to book the hot tub, it was one of the best things we experienced in our week in Tromsø.

A relaxing boat trip with beautiful scenery. We went in the hot tub on the deck which was wonderful and we have some great pictures. The reindeer soup was the best one I tried, as it was properly and skilfully home made. Very accommodating hosts. We had a lovely time on this boat.

On the day of the scheduled tour, we attempted multiple times to contact World Sea Explorers without success. We messaged the company, made numerous phone calls, and even enlisted local hotels to help us reach them—yet received absolutely no response. There was no physical office, and even local hotels were unable to direct us to one. We encountered another group of passengers assigned to our tour who were also unable to locate the tour group and had received no communication. This experience leads us to believe that this company is fraudulent. Viator was also unable to facilitate direct contact over the phone with World Sea Explorers, further reinforcing our suspicion that this is a scam. We were never picked up, never taken on the tour, and to make matters worse, we were denied any refund. Avoid this company at all costs, as they appear to be operating dishonestly. Save your money and choose a reputable provider.

The host of the Yacht were excellent, very welcoming and knowledgeable. The Yacht was very clean and warm inside, there were games to play if you didnt want to stand outside, tea/coffee/water/hot chocolate on hand. The food was lovely too. The host arranged the various parties so they had private time in the hot tub, it was well co-ordinated and didnt feel rushed. The trip lasted around 4 hours, with an opportunity to take a polar plunge if you were brave enough - which was perfect. Overall the we all had a fantastic experience and i would recommend this trip

The boat is beautiful, much bigger than I expected and it was really warm and comfortable. We went in late December, (so not very much daylight), but even so, the views were still beautiful. I paid extra for the hot tub and it was definitely worth it. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting.
