    I have been on a whale tour in Iceland and loved it. Little did I know this trip would easily top that. This tour alone was worth coming to Norway. The staff was wonderful, the landscape was amazing, and our experience with the whales was breathtaking! Thank you so much for an amazing adventure! We were fortunate to see humpbacks, fin whales, and orcas.

    Highly recommended, one of the best tours I've ever been on. Yes, we saw loads of orca's, humpbacks and fin whales. Which made the day perfect ofcourse, but this is something out of the control of the guides. Why I give 5 stars and would urge you to book this whale tour? - Daniel and Hannelene are passionate about whales themselves, they really enjoy what they are doing. The knowledge and boatmanship is endless. The enthusiasm is amazing. - Smaller groups, intimate tour - The boat is quick, comfortable, stable and the viewing decks are spacious. - They give the whales space and respect them as animals, this tour is not to make money and drive over whales. Like some of the other boats. Book this tour, you will never regret it.

    The best orca excursion you can go on while in Tromsø!! Don’t even bother looking at others. The staff were amazing and friendly. The boat is clean and ran beautifully. I suggest bringing snacks/lunch with you. There was plenty of hot water and coffee with cookies/crackers. The light lunch provided was instant soup though. This was the highlight of my trip! Thank you guys again!!

    This has been an amazing experience! 🐳🏔️ The landscape in this fjord is so scenic! At this time of the year, you always have a sunrise/sunset light on the mountains. We’ve found a large group of orca(s). I don’t know how many but surely more than 30 individuals. A lot of babys and young adults and few massive individuals. We were a group of eight people on the boat. Which is why I vividly recommend Arctic Whale Tours. You have the comfort and the warmth of a “big”boat but the maximum capacity is not overwhelming, sthg like +/- 20 people. Great and professional captain & guide on board! ✅

    I cannot recommend Arctic Whale Tours enough. This small team delivered an unforgettable experience where we got incredibly close to both orcas and humpbacks. Thanks for the incredible time!

    Bucket list ✔️ We saw plenty of orcas, humpback whales and even white tailed eagles. The scenery was like something from a movie. The journey there and back did get rough in places but we were warned out this. The highlight of the trip was obviously seeing the whales in their natural habitat but what made it even more special was the boat didn’t feel crowed and we all had plenty of space. Its a nice warm boat with plenty of seating. Hannaleena was an awesome guide too so thank you! 🙏🏼

    This was by far the best excursion we took in Tromsø! We saw countless orcas and four humpback whales. The company was very knowledgeable and respectful of the whales’ space, but also ensured that we got the experience of a lifetime. We stumbled upon an orca feeding and even saw one breach the water! The weather was cold and rainy much of the time, but inside of the boat was cozy and the coffee and soup helped warm us up. I highly recommend booking through arctic whale tours!

    Incredible. Guide and Captain are friendly. Boat is warm, cozy and well equipped. A group of Orcas came really close and it was amazing. Highly recommend this little company.

    (Translated by Google) Top whale watching tour! We didn't miss anything. And seeing the whales in the Arctic Ocean was just fantastic. We could see orcas and humpback whales. I can only recommend it! (Original) Top Walewatching Tour! Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Und die Wale im Eismeer zu sehen war einfach traumhaft. Orcas und Buckelwale konnten wir sehen. Nur zu empfehlen!

    Great tour with very friendly and knowledgable crew. We saw many orcas and humpback whales. I enjoyed the not too big boat and they offered coffee, tea and soup to warm up. 100% recommended.

    Had an incredible day out with Arctic Whale Tours! We saw many Orcas up close and got some amazing photos. The tour guide was excellent – really knowledgeable on the species and super friendly. The boat itself was warm and cosy, with hot drinks and snacks provided. We even saw the northern lights on the way back to Tromso!! Overall, one of the best excursions we’ve done!!

    The guide and skipper are so friendly and nice! And they do have lots of respect for the whales. They let them approach instead of chasing, like other companies sadly do sometimes. Thank you for the awesome days at Skervoy and making a difference in respecting the animals! 🙏

    Very nice guide, professional, informative but not invasive, always ready to give answers and information and taking good care of all the guests. Very nice captain. cozy boat, respectful of whales (not aggressively getting close to the animals). Highly recommended! factor in that, depending on the day the boat ride can be long... for us it was 3 hours of navigation to get to the spot where whales were feeding, worth every single minute of navigation. If you have motion sickness - again depending on the weather conditions - take some medicine to prevent it.

    (Translated by Google) Thank you for the great tour to Skjervøy to see the whales. We were lucky and saw orcas and humpback whales! :) Among other things, thanks to the super experienced and friendly guide Hannaleena, who discovers whales where everyone else only sees waves. The sympathetic captain is also very considerate and stops if the ship comes too close to the whales. We were lucky enough to have the orcas come towards us and swam around the ship, what an experience! Since the ship is quite small, I definitely recommend taking the pills that are provided free of charge, otherwise it can get uncomfortable! With the pill I was able to enjoy the trip 100% (including the included biscuits, coffee and instant soup). Many thanks to the small and passionate team! :) (Original) Vielen Dank für die super Tour nach Skjervøy zu den Walen. Wir hatten Glück und konnten Orkas und Buckelwale beobachten! :) Unter anderem auch dank dem super erfahrenen und freubdlichen Guide Hannaleena, welche Wale entdeckt, wo alle anderen nur Wellen sehen. Auch der sympathische Kapitän nimmt sehr Rücksicht und stoppt, falls das Schiff zu nahe an die Wale kommen. Wir hatten das Glück, dass die Orkas auf uns zu kamen und um das Schiff herum schwommen, was für eine Erlebnis! Da das Schiff recht klein ist, empfehle ich unbedingt die gratis zu Verfügung gestellten Tabletten einzunehmen, ansonsten kann es ungemütlich werden! Mit der Tablette konnte ich die Reise zu 100% geniessen (auch die inkludierten Kekse, Kaffe und Instant-Suppe). Vielen Dank dem kleinen und leidenschaftlichen Team! :)
