Unforgettable Experience

5.00The orca tour in Tromsø was an unforgettable and very exciting experience. Even though the weather didn’t go too far, the thrill of seeing whales and, above all, orcas in their natural habitat more than compensated. It was a really special moment that we loved. The organization of the event was generally fine, although there are some aspects that could be improved. The place where you change could be more hygienic and caring, as it is an important part of the experience, especially because of the cold. In addition, the food they offer could be of better quality: good snacks would make a difference, and it would also be appreciated if they included coffee or hot chocolate. Overall, it is a highly recommended excursion for the unique experience of seeing these animals so impressive, although with small details to improve could be even better.
Once in a lifetime experience!

5.00Fantastic and well organised experience! The coach journey is quite long but expected for the trip location. Managed to sleep the majority of the way. The RIB boat was very cool and didn’t feel cold thanks to all the equipment provided by the company

1.00My group and I arrived at the meeting point indicated on the platform at the set time, being there we did not see any bus , we contacted the teleoperator and no one attended us , despite being at the indicated point the bus left without us at 5:30 , which caused us a great inconvenience, we were with 3 young children , the normal is that he would have answered us and informed us that a street further back was where the bus was located, (I have done many excursions and the manager calls you by wasa and is responsible for you reaching the excursion ) tell us that we do not pay the money , which was 1700 € and also do not give us another date of excursion , now reading I see that I am not the first to which it happened.
Great.

5.00Perfect, we have seen killer whales (including babies) several times. The weather was clear so we could enjoy it. The guide and the skipper was good. The meal was good too.
Buyer Beware!

1.00Avoid this company. Bad experience. Arrived on time and I could not find the pick up location. The tour left without me and made no attempt to contact me. I could only find an email to try to reach them. Very rude/disrespectful communications from staff afterwards when requesting a refund. No refund was given.
RIB ride was exciting and a lot of whales. Very professional. They should have mirror in the dressing room.

4.00Booking confirmation from the company was difficult to get. The starting place for the bus ride changed twice the day before. Instead of writing Tomsø bus terminal pier 2, they wrote something about a place BEHIND a building, and the address- unclear!
Highly recommend

5.00This was one of my favorite tours. It was cold, very cold out on the water. Lots of layers needed. The tour guides were excellent and were so respectful of the whales. Lots of interesting information provided and we were looked after. Highly recommend.

5.00A wonderful experience that I would repeat immediately. The species you see change depending on the period. Even just the boat trip is very exciting and fun.
Must do

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.
