Tromsø: Whale Watching Tour by Hybrid-Electric Boat - A hybrid catamaran built for long viewing days

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,217 reviews · from $195Our pick

Review of Brim Explorer’s Tromsø whale tour, with hybrid-electric sailing, Arctic scenery, practical tips, costs, comfort, and whale-sighting odds.

“Fantastic day - the guides were great giving you lots of information along the way but not too much. Free refill of tea and coffee was much appreciated especially after watching the Orkas that we were lucky enough to see. Warm cabin although I thinking you were sitting at the back it would have been a bit chilly. Plenty of time to watch the whales.”

Tromsø: Fjord History Cruise with Snack and Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 364 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $156

Cruise Tromsø Sound aboard restored 1917 boat Hermes II, with fjord views, local stories, wildlife, thermal suits, fish cake, and hot drinks.

“Simply brilliant! There are plenty of other companies who do fjord cruises but none of them will look after you as well as the Hermes 2 crew and the fact that they are all Norwegian adds to the experience. If you are travelling with children as we were then the 2.5 hour duration is perfect and the fish cake snack from Dragoy and free tea, coffee and hot blackcurrant are much appreciated. They love what they do and this shows, so glad we did this. Oh, and they know where the white tailed eagles are and we saw 2 right next to the boat. ❤️👌”

We stopped along the way to visit a small museum and hear about the historic methods of fishing, hunting and current environmental challenges as well as tasting cod liver oil and fish snacks.

Cruise Tromsø’s fjords aboard vintage MS Strønstad, with hot coffee, a Northern Lights presentation, optional sauna and jacuzzi time.

“Due to cloudy weather the Cruise were cancelled. Instead of this, à Northern Lights Safari was suggested including reindeer and Sami culture. So, we started with only 5 people in a mini van at the beginning of the evening. After 2 hors drive we arrived in Skibotn. It became a magical night. Seeing the aurora appear little by little in the sky, feeding the reindeers, listening to the Sami tellings... Many thanks to Tobi, John, our driver, our Sami guide Per and the whole team in Skibotn.”
