    This was a really unique and wonderful experience! The bus was very comfortable for our 3 hour drive. Our guide Daniele was was very attentive to everyone’s needs, very sympathetic and managed to ensure an amazing experience. We saw so many orcas, humpback whales and even finwales—it was really a lucky day! The magical colours of the sky and the dull sunlight on the snowy mountains formed a majestic background. We definitely recommend!

  • Best money spent! Cool experience!

    Crazy cool experience! We started early with a long bus ride, but the people and our guide were so nice that we always felt safe and happy. We saw so many orcas and humpback whales—it was such a lucky day! Definitely the best money spent for this amazing adventure. They provide a full anti-cold suit, gloves, shoes, and goggles, so you stay completely warm.

  • Very nice experience that will stay in my best memory.

    Everything was well organized from the booking to the transfer to the whale watching tour. Our guide Nadine was extremely accommodating and explained everything to us patiently. During the tour I noticed especially their respectful treatment of the marine mammals. Great!

    Staying in Skjervoy I did the tour on monday and thursday, so without the bus transfer. Monday was as arctic as it gets. Snowy, windy, big waves and a couple of small pods of orca scattered around the entire fjord. Thursday however was full of magic. just a couple of minutes out of skjervoy harbour there where, for hours, countless orca and several whales (mostly the majestic humpback). The magical colours of the sky and the dull sunlight on the snowy mountains formed a majestic background. As good as it gets, and a day I will remember for the rest of my life. We were all very lucky, but my gratitude is endless. You ROCK guys!!

    The whale watching is very recommended. My wife and I managed to see orcas and humpback whale. Bring some snacks and drinks during the trip because the trip is about 12 hours for the bus trip and whale watching.

    Watching the whales was fantastic. A once in a lifetime experience. But we were provided no changing rooms, no indoor bathrooms, and were rushed to the buses when the adventure was over.

  • Amazing.

    My dream was to see the orcas, Skype with us was iconic. He was going easy so we could get as close as possible to the killer whales, and take videos despite the cold. The staff served us everything on a platter so that everyone was in hot suits. Thanks to you

    The best experience we had ever, Maybe it can be a little bit longer if possible so we could spent more time with whales. Because we have seen whales and started to breach when we were leaving and it was very hard to say goodbye on the point. Or maybe it is hard all the time. But we are coming back nexst year for sure it is the best experience.

  • Underwhelming and rushed experience

    It is a good activity to do if you’ve not experienced it before. however it was very rushed, from the moment we got off the bus we had to quickly queue for portatoilets, put on the suits, and get on the RIB. Upon return it was the same very rushed to get out of the suits and all your things, sandwich provided to take with you on the bus but we almost missed the bus back since they don’t count headcount and there were 3 big buses. On the whale watching I understand our guide’s intention to respect the animals by not going too close, but there were other RIBs that always were closer and ahead thus blocking our views since we could only see the fins. Interesting and very cold and wet experience but do not expect to see much like in the photos unless you’re so lucky that the orca jumps out though we didn’t see that

  • Best Tour!!

    Such an amazing tour! The drive to Skjervoy was long, but the coach was comfy enough to sleep on. The guides were so helpful and had all the equipment you need to stay warm and mostly dry. We were lucky enough to see Orcas and Humpbacks at feeding time. It was magical! We had whales come right up to our boats and we spent a lot of time being up close with them! We also had a sandwich and hot drink to finish. Would 100% recommend!
