Tromsø: Whale Watching Tour by Hybrid-Electric Boat

5.Whale Watching Tour by Hybrid-Electric Boat

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

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.”
