Actually we didn't take a cruise after all because the whales had already left the area, but we were pleasently supprised how the booking was handled. Early information about the status of our booked trip, regarding whales in the area. After it was clear that the whales had left, we were automatically switched to a simple fjord cruise with the option for a full refund. The refund was then quickly executed and easy. We would try our luck with the whales again with this company.

The trip was wonderful, staff informative and helpful. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see whales but did see eagles and a spectacular landscape. I'd highly recommend the cruise, well worth doing.

Uno de los mejores tours que hemos hecho en Tromso. El viaje en barco es increible porque vas viendo los fiordos espectaculares y si sale en eol como fue nuestro caso es mas increible todavia. El barco estaba preparado para el día y ofrecia vistas desde dentro y desde fuera . Vimos pocas ballenas porque ya se acaba el periodo pero los paisajes supliero con creces nuestras espectatrivas. Muy recomendable!!!

Whale watching in Tromsø was unreal. The views looked like a movie, and then sperm whales appeared super close, as if they knew we were there just for them. The guide was amazing, mixing whale facts with funny stories about Tromsø. Cold hands, happy heart. Totally worth it.

Spend more time with Arctic whales on a 6–8-hour cruise from Tromso aboard the fast, comfortable MS Gabriele.

Getting started

Meet at Nerstrandkaia Pier, just outside the Alti Shopping Center in Tromso city center. After check-in, meet your guide and board the MS Gabriele for your whale watching cruise.

Professional guide: Learn about the whales and their behavior from an experienced guide, who also helps you know where and when to look for the best photo opportunities.

Arctic fjords: Take in the Arctic fjords and seas around Tromso as the vessel travels toward the areas where whales are gathering that day.
