Great activity while visiting the city - My husband and I did the 1 hour trip. There was only one other couple on the boat so it felt like a private excursion. The guides were really friendly and knowledgeable about Tromsø and the surrounding areas. It was a perfect mix of scenery and history. The boat is beautiful too! Highly recommend.

Bucket list trip on a beautiful craft - The highlight of our holiday so far. The crew of Hermes II were obviously engaged in a labour of love in looking after and restoring such a beautiful craft to its full glory. We spent a comfortable, enjoyable, informative, engaging and fun hour with guys who took the time to explain the history of the boat and of the harbour. We booked following a recommendation from previous guests and we would definitely recommend this trip and boat to anyone lucky enough to find themselves in Tromso.

Experience - Very nice people, friendly and informative. Beautiful ship!!!
Comprehensive description of the history of this boat up to the last renovation. The mooring and unmooring maneuvers are also very exciting.
Would do this and longer trips again.

Such. a great time - a must do activity!!! - We had such a great time on Hermes II. This is an amazingly well preserved 1917 boat that does three different tours - a 1hr tour, a 2.5 hr your, and a 4.5hr fishing and sightseeing tour. Because of our available time, we opted for the 1 hr tour. The boat is very conveniently docked right in the center of town - very easy to finds and access. The crew is fabulous!!! They took the time to ensure we had an excellent cruise - and they are so friendly and expert. The boat is quite stable and in perfect condition - it was a real joy to go out and sightsee. Highly recommended!!!

See Tromsø from the water - Had a fun and fact filled morning with the crew on board Hermes II. I felt particularly special as I was the only person with them that morning so I got treated like royalty. Particularly impressed that they ran the tour for one person!
Would thoroughly recommend

Perfect intro - This was a wonderful introduction to Tromso and being able to see the city from the water. The sun came out and gave us a picturesque setting. Highly recommend if you want to learn about Tromso, the history, and have beautiful views! It was perfect.

Must visit in Tromsø - An amazing experience!
Tromsø and the neighbourhood are magnificent on their on, but from a bout the view is the best! Also the boat is supercool, Trols and Trodo, the hosts, are the absolute best: the talk, the stories, the way they move around the boat - just spectacular 😍

FUNNY MORNING - Very good experience with the trip on the Hermes II, a ship full of history. Thanks to the good work of Truls, who is a very didactic and fun guide, they make you have a great time and enjoy the surroundings of Tromso from another perspective. It depends on the time of year that you go, you can find different landscapes, I was in September and it was a nice sunny day, seeing animals and breathing fresh air. Thank you so much
