A great adventure! - This is a terrific way to see Tromso and the beautiful area surrounding the city. The trip was very easy to book through Viator and the meeting spot was easy to find. Francisco was our guide and he met us right on time and thoroughly explained everything before we headed over to get dressed for the trip. The company provides warm suits and water proof boots for every guest. It was a short walk to the pier from the office and Francisco directed each passenger to their seat based on size so couples won't necessarily be seated together. We headed out from the dock and had a great adventure. Our trip took us around the large island in the harbor (I forgot the name) to see what wildlife and birds we could see from shore. Francisco knows his animals so we learned a lot about what we were seeing. The trip was about three hours from start to finish, but you will not be on the boat the entire time as there is a stop on a small pier where you can get off the boat, take off the suit if you wish, and enjoy a snack and hot beverage. We had glorious weather so the pictures were spectacular. A couple of planning thoughts - the port was busy when we were out so other boats were coming and going. You will very likely get wet and the only place to stow your belongings is on the floor at your feet. Don't bring what you don't need; consider leaving wallets, purses, backpacks etc on your cruise ship or in your hotel room. The ride can also get bumpy so it's a good idea to have your phone on a lanyard so you don't drop it overboard. You can also put small items like a phone inside the suit to keep them dry when not in use. The ride was exhilarating. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see Tromso from a different and fun perspective.

Great trip - 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.

Thrilling trip - Great guide who kept us informed fully on all safety aspects and was also very informative throughout the excursion. Would thoroughly recommend Francisco!

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

RIB Boat Ride - 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.

Definitely recommend - 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.

Thrills, fauna, and scenic nature - 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 and fun for the full family - 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 trip - Great guide, trip length just about right, spotted porpoise and sea eagle. Will be back for whale safari !

One of the best experience - This has got to be one of the best experiences we have ever done, it was so much fun staff were really good. It made it extra special as it snowed we stopped and had hot chocolate and some cake made by a local lady. Highly recommend this trip.
