Fishing trip just outside Tromsø - The tour with the crew of the Hermes 2 was a lot of fun. The young crew is super good . My son caught some cod with the Pilker for the first time. The entire catch is still prepared on board and everyone gets a taste of the freshly caught fish . All in all, the tour on the fjord is highly recommended and worth a repeat.

Must do! - Great crew. They helped everybody with the fishing and had great experiences to share. Even had pictures.

Fishing trip - Half day fishing trip Tromsø! Absolutely fantastic boat, staff and experience ☀️ Recommended we visit. We will definitely come back 😀

Hermes 2 riding solo - Really enjoyed this, especially being on my own riding solo! Straight from the start the crew are chatty, welcoming, friendly and all have a great sense of humour. We were all mixed into groups of 3 for the fishing which was at multiple locations through the trip. Regular stories throughout about the local history and the history of the boat and recommendations for the area and different parts of Norway. Thank you so much for an excellent trip.

Wonderful family experience - We had great time on this trip. We had our 11 month old daughter with us and all of the crew were very caring and accommodating. Caught two decent sized cod and even saw some dolphins. Thank you to the crew!

Fantastic experience - I booked the Sunday afternoon tour. Sailed on time at 15.30, greeted by a friendly and professional crew. We were 16 “guests” and if at first the concern was how the 5 hours planned for the tour would have passed, you have to say that we returned without even noticing the past time. In addition to seeing beautiful places and breathing healthy sea air, the real fun is fishing on board, followed by dinner of the catch. Everything beautiful, even the interactions that are created with other passengers. I will definitely return

If You Like Fishing, This Is The Excursion For You! - My husband really enjoys fishing. I don't care for it quite as much as him, but whenever we go on a vacation I always try to book a fishing trip for us and I always catch something! This excursion was no exception because we both caught more cod than we could count and then we got to eat them too! I even caught two cod at once! The ship was beautiful, the crew was extremely helpful and the scenery was magnificent! I tend to get seasick, but I did not on this cruise because the water of the fjords was not rough and the boat wasn't bouncing up and down. It was a very smooth ride. I did take an anti-nausea pill just to be safe. It was very cold and the wind was biting, but if you were dressed properly, it didn't matter. I was dressed very warmly, so I stayed in my own clothes, but my husband chose to use their one piece outerwear for extreme weather and he said he actually felt too warm at times. The crew assigns you to places around the ship and they are right on the spot to add bait to your line and to take off the fish you've caught. The keepers they clean and cook for us, the smaller fish they throw back to live another day or to be caught in the circle of life as food for the seagulls and the eagles that follow the ship. The crew was also extremely helpful in suggesting restaurants in Tromso and food to try. A delicacy is grilled stockfish, which is cod that has been dried, then rehydrated and then grilled. It was delicious and has more protein than any other fish - look it up! We also discovered tea made with black currant syrup that the Norwegians grow up on and again, it is delicious. The thin bread crisps are unlike anything we've had in the states, but we found them at Trader Joe's because we are hooked on them. There are toilets on the ship and places to sit down below deck to get out of the elements. Frankly, the scenery is so beautiful that you shouldn't miss it by staying below as long as you are dressed properly and if you didn't bring something warm enough, the crew will supply you with warm outerwear. If we make it back to Norway, we would do this excursion again in a heartbeat! Thank you to the captain and crew of the Hermes II for such a memorable adventure!

So much fun! - This was such a fun experience! Great way to get out on the water, see parts of the fjords, and do some fishing. Caught several fish myself and the group caught more than enough to clean and cook for lunch on the way back (was delicious!). The captain and crew were so kind and fun to be with. Learned a lot about the ship, the area, the fish we caught, and much more. Would definitely do this again!

Top at sea - From start to finish an absolutely enjoyable adventure. Extraordinary boat, excellent equipment and good company.

Successful outing for all including the fish eagles! This was a perfect end to a cruise north from Oslo. - It was very easy to find after getting off our cruise. Crew members were making final preparations and were welcoming. This was one of the last remaking 1917 trawlers built to save lives in sometimes dangerous waters. It was in tip top shape with modern equipment and very clean. Caught fish for ourselves and the local fish eagles. AAA
