We had a wonderful time!
It was drizzling and the wind were slightly stronger but we all decided to go for it. It turn out that braving through the slight rain and the wind is so much fun and exciting . The scenery was so beautiful . Though we didn’t spotted any seal or foxes but we saw many beautiful houses and birds . We stopped by an island and had some hot refreshment and snack. Our overall experience is good.

An exhilarating ride and very informative
We drove to Hella island - saw Eagkes and lots of nesting birds
The dolphins also put on a display for us

My husband, 10 year old daughter and I booked this last minute and were very happy we did. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us on an exciting boat ride and looked for wildlife. We had a beautiful sunny day and were able to dip into the water when we stopped at Hella for coffee….bring your suit if you want to go in to the water or you can just wade in. Though we didn’t have a lot of luck seeing wildlife, it was still very enjoyable and we would do it again. One thing to note, you ride the boat straddled on the inflatable hump and must be able to climb in and out of the boat and get your leg over the seat…this could prove challenging for those with mobility issues. However, it was quite fun to be speeding across the fjord in the open air and we would highly recommend.

The highlight was our wonderful Captain who made the whole experience fantastic.
I only wish I had known that swimming was an option as I would have brought a swimming costume and a towel…

This was an excellent trip and I would recommend it to anyone. We saw puffin close up, harbour porpoises and heron and heard a great deal about the sea eagle. We also had a lovely break in the sunshine by the little jetty. Totally on time too.

Great weather and trip. Saw several porpoises. Good gear provided. Coffee and muffins on Hella. Good value for money.

Our guide had great info about the area. The boat ride was fun and we enjoyed the hot coffee and tea on the island. Beautiful scenery.

This was a great trip, the perfect length and excellent value for money.
We met lovely people and had a good laugh, and it was hugely exhilarating.

Don't let the lame "Rigid Inflatable Boat" name put you off - this thing is as fast as a jet ski and didn't feel janky at all. I don't know what was more enjoyable, the surprisingly thrill-filled boat ride to the island, to the animal spotting slow cruise, to enjoying hot (albeit instant) coffee on the gorgeous island. We got to see giant flocks of seagulls and the odd porpoise or puffin. If you're lucky, you might see even more.
If you don't see the bright vested guide in the hotel reception, they're probably making a round around the hotel perimeter, so don't fret if you think you missed it. They'll also call you if they can't find you. Overall the guide was super accommodating and friendly, and made for a very pleasant journey.

Good experience with a nice captain (Francesco) in fantastic Tromsø weather! We were a group of 3 kids (between 7 and 14 years) and two adults. All of us enjoyed the day!

Great guide, trip length just about right, spotted porpoise and sea eagle. Will be back for whale safari !

It was a very exciting experience! A must go in Tromso!! Well organized, safe. The guide knew very well what was doing! Nature is breath taking and the combination mountains-sea is unforgetable. Looking forward to coming back for whales hunting @ Northern lights chase!

Una delusione totale. Abbiamo speso 250€ in 2 per nulla. La guida era gentile anche se di poche parole visto e considerato che non abbiamo visto praticamente nulla!! In 3 ore di escursione si è fermata per farci vedere ciò che vediamo ovunque tutti i giorni.. papere e gabbiani! Giusto un aquila di mare in lontananza ferma su uno scoglio. Decisamente non consiglio questa escursione, evidentemente non è lo scenario giusto per vedere la fauna. Hella altra grande delusione, un isoletta abbandonata con l acqua piena di alghe. Sicuramente farei un escursione diversa tornando indietro.

Sola skinner og ingen vind, turen ble gjennomført på tross av kun meg som passasjer, med andre ord glimrende service. 20 varmegrader er ikke så vanlig ute på vannet i Tromsø. Flott natur og veldig hyggelig båtfører.

Une belle activité qui permet de découvrir le fjord de tromso d’une autre manière ! Nous avons naviguer a toute vitesse et des oiseaux nous ont accompagné. C’était magnifique !

Très bonne sortie en mer à bord d’un speed boat.
Combinaison masque et cagoule sont fournies par le prestataire.
Belle découverte des fjords à bord d’un bateau rapide ainsi que les explications associées. Une pause de 20minutes pour café et gâteau pour se réchauffer
