5.00Amazing experience! We saw 2 male Orcas and then got to witness the main pod of females and babies feeding on herring. It was so special. 4 hour bus ride to the island and about 4 hours spent there. Suits and boots were provided but I'd heavily reccomend wearing mamy layers of warm clothes. It's windy and you will get splashed. Bring backup cloths for the bus ride home.
It will be cold so layer...

5.00It will be cold so layer up! The experience was great and we got very close to orcas and humpbacks. We even got lucky enough to see the orcas and seagulls feeding on herring!

5.00Very cool experience! The drive is about 3-4 hours in one direction and with only ~3 hours of daylight it's important to be on time. The location of the bus pick up is a bit incorrect. If you go to the described location (the hotel), facing the water you need to look right and you'll see a bus terminal with red buses parked, about a 3 minute walk. That is the proper pickup location. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. You need to dress very warmly, especially your fingers and toes as you're on a speeding RIB boat and the windchill was definitely in the negative double digits (which you are exposed to for 3+ hours). We got to see so many orcas and two humpbacks, getting VERY close to them! We even got to see the fjords. 10/10 would recommend
So many whales!

4.00The experience was amazing in the since that we were able to see so many orca. With that said, we were very rushed. I appreciate the desire to have as much time seeing the water, but in doing so, we had to stop because someone lost their glasses. Some people didn’t have the appropriate size in attire and could hardly see. I would recommend spending a little time ensuring everything fits right before getting on the rib.
Amazing experience!!
