Lovely Cruise to Trollfjord, on a lovely day, in a very comfortable Catamaran’. Great crew who gave very good commentary when needed, and were very friendly. Sea Eagles were abundant, fab viewings, and Trollfjord was very impressive. A great few hours, really enjoyed it. Choose this over the cold & very bouncy Rib boat trips, which looked less than comfortable !!!

Overview

Once at Trollfjord, get a glimpse of the native marine life via underwater drone.

    Good welcome and talk from crew members, all very friendly and helpful. Lovely viewing of sea eagles and an orca, and crew adjusted timings of trip to take advantage of sightings.

    Tobias was great!

    Amazing experience! We had truly unbelievable weather. The boat was extremely nice and comfortable, the staff members were kind, knowledgeable and helpful, and the views were 12/10. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a (nearly silent!) boat tour of a fjord!

    Very beautiful experience...

    If coming by car, beware

    Gary_K, Aug 2025
    The Vessel was very good with good windows and plenty of seating. It was crowded and it was necessary to scramble to find a place to see. The biggest thing should know before doing this is if you’re coming by car, there is absolutely no parking for a visitor in the area. All parking places, if any our pay and require access to an online app most likely only available to Norwegians. This was never disclosed to us and we searched for over an hour for a place to put our rental car. Finally, I had to park in an illegal spot and luckily I was not ticketed or towed.

    All the way entertaining

    Very nice when weather is nice.

    Ronald_C, Aug 2025
    Took this cruise twice. First was cloudy but second was beautiful skies and sunshine. What a difference! Crew is professional and helpful. If you want a seat on the outside viewing deck, head there first. Fills up fast, really fast. I was not fast enough so I had to lean on the outside rail. Plenty of space to move around, inside and outside. Most people that were seatrd did not move. They just sat there looking around at the scenery. The crew served a soup which was good.

    Amazing experience!...

    Carlyn_J, Aug 2025
    Amazing experience! Beautiful views and I learned lots about the area from the guides. Would definitely recommend!

    Understanding

    Paul_F, Aug 2025
    We had to cancel late and they were very understanding relative to the needs of our group of ten and our changing circumstances.

    Fun and informative

    Lauren_K, Aug 2025
    Lovely afternoon cruise to a beautiful place. Spacious, clean boat. We didn’t get anything at the bar but it looked well stocked. Crew was friendly and informative. Recommended for a chill activity with beautiful sightseeing.

    Nice cruise- bad narration sound

    Pamela_W, Aug 2025
    Nice cruise- loved the up and close to sea eagles. Boat slowed so we could all see and take photos. We did not like the fact that the narration could not be heard unless you went inside the boat- outer decks could not hear any of the narration. So we basically could either see outside the sights or hear what we were seeing - not both.

    Great Cruise, Poor Handling of Cancellation

    Ahmed_A, Jul 2025
    While the cruise itself was magnificent and the staff were fantastic, we were left with a somewhat bitter impression due to how the cancellation of our 9 AM cruise was handled. We had woken up early-despite needing rest from the previous day-only to find the cruise canceled with no meaningful compensation offered beyond a refund or rescheduling to 8 PM. Given that our vacation schedule was carefully planned, it would have been considerate for the organizers to acknowledge the inconvenience with more than just a complimentary cup of coffee. A gesture of goodwill beyond the bare minimum would have gone a long way.

    Wonderful boat trip

    It was very nice, only the speakers microphone was not good to hear! The ship was wonderful, the sky was blue!

    Fantastic trip!

    sally_v, Jul 2025
    Great trip, good boat, friendly crew and informative commentary. The boat was clean, spacious, has toilets and there was a cafe/bar with drinks and snacks. The trip was great, amazing scenery, saw lots of eagles and small birds - guillamots. Blessed with good weather too!

    Amazing Bee

    Giulia_B, Jul 2025
    Wonderful tour! Well organized, interesting with nice explanations about the area. We booked a ticket for the morning and didn’t show up because we were convinced to have booked on the evening cruise: Bee was so nice to understand our problem and since the boat was not full she let us on the evening cruise without any extra fee. She was so nice and the speeches about the local fauna undersea were really helpful. An experience not to be missed if you spend some days in amazing Lofoten Islands!

    Awesome Tour

    Kim_S, Jul 2025
    This cruise was just right. It is handicap accessible. Plenty of seating and outside viewing areas so it doesn’t feel crowded. There is a refreshment area and a tip jar is available if you are so inclined. We saw several while tailed eagles. Water was too murky for the underwater drone. Would recommend this tour.

    Excellent experience

    Agnes_T, Jul 2025
    It’s very serene, beautiful and Senja did an amazing job explaining to us what to learn look out for and what we should know about the place. The crew and captain are very professional and kind.

    Great way to see the fjords when you are limited on time

    Cheryl_F, Jun 2025
    Cruise was fun. Well organized and informative. Would totally do again. Great if you do not have a ton of time to explore.

    Really wonderful...

    Sara_W, Jun 2025
    Really wonderful experience! We did the 8pm cruise and had a lovely time. The crew was knowledgeable about the area and wildlife.

    Excellent morning out

    Lesley_J, May 2025
    Lovely scenery, knowledgeable and informative staff and seeing orcas was the highlight. Comfortable boat.

    An ethical approach to a wonderful tourism experience

    Ronald_C, Mar 2025
    We really enjoyed the entire experience- the amazing scenery, the informed interesting commentary, the ethical approach of the company, the underwater drone images and the eagles!

    Must see tour. Loved it

    Blake_D, Feb 2025
    My wife, sister and neice had a fabulous time. This was the best part of our Norway experience. Our guide was knowledgeable, humorous, and engaging as we learned about yhe culture, people, and history

    Fantastic experience

    Neil_W, Sep 2024
    Superb cruise on a very well equipped boat. Excellent presentations by Lucca and Noren. We were lucky enough to get close to a number of Sea Eagles during the trip to Trollsfjord. The underwater drone was also an interesting bonus. Well worth the money for the comfort snd safety of this trip.

    Very comfortable cruise...

    James_R, Sep 2024
    Very comfortable cruise and not crowded. Guides were excellent and available to answer multiple questions.

    Great boat tour from Svolvaer!

    Rachal_R, Aug 2024
    This was a lovely cruise, comfortable and with very nice views of the landscape and fjord. The ship was not too big, and not too crowded, and had nice drinks and snacks on board. We alternated walking around for different views and sitting at the windows. Boat had seating options outside and inside which was good for the iffy weather we had. Recommend this tour!

    Amazing Trillfjord

    Sandy_H, Aug 2024
    This was an amazing cruise! The boat is new, state of the art battery powered with views accessible from every seat inside! You’re free to walk around on the decks and see the amazing beauty of the area and the highlight is the Trollfjord! It was a fantastic excursion!
