An amazing experience - A dream come true! What a special day this was. The bus journey from Tromso is smooth and scenic. Once there you get all your equipment on which kept me lovely and warm for the whole trip. Once on the water we saw many pods of orcas and x3 sperm whales! Very well organised and I never felt rushed. Worth every penny. Thanks for such a memorable day.

Great experience. I came... - Great experience. I came to Norway to see the whales and did several whale watching trips. This one was the best. We got lucky and saw many whales. The guide and information was also great. They also respected the whales.

Wonderful boat trip - Really great outing, good equipment and a great team to welcome you. I really enjoyed my time there and I'd recommend Green Gold of Norway because they're a team that respects animals and takes care of their space. I'd advise you to go at the beginning of the year as there are lots of different animals to see.

Great! But tough - The tour was great, we saw a lot of orcas, and were very pleased. It is definitely worth it. But it is important to mention that this a very TOUGH tour from beginning to end. It starts at 5:30am with a 4-hour bus ride into the island, then a 1-hour boat ride to the whale area, around 1.5 hours of the whales, then everything going back. It’s extremely cold, you DO get wet (you have overalls, but to the very least, your face will get wet), and in general, I don’t think there is enough warning about all this. If you feel this might be too much, choose the other type of boat.

An amazing day that I will remember forever. - The early start in the ice and snow was worth it. Timekeeping is important to ensure maximum time on the water. The boat trip itself feels like an adventure from the start. We were lucky enough to see Fin Whales and Orcas feeding. One of the best wildlife watching experiences I have ever had! Only disappointment is that I will probably never enjoy another whale watching trip as much as this one - haha!

Magical and unforgettable - It took us only 5 mins from the port to see the orcas and whales. They were left and right. Such an amazing experience. Our guide was so informative. She knows what she’s really doing. It’s like she owns that area. 😂😂 I forgot her name but she said she used to live in Fiji. I hope she reads this review. Thank you.

Amazing epic and spectacular - It’s a once in a lifetime trip but not for the faint hearted as hard going saw so many whales and orcas they really get you where you need to be, they hurry you along but to get the return ferry the driver needs to leave promptly I will never forget this experience

Cool idea, but not a great tour - The tour operator was literally just transportation. The communication was nearly non-existent from the bus through to the location where we were suited for the cold weather. There was also nearly no communication on the boat. One of the "guides" would say "over there" from behind everyone. There is no way to even turn your head to see which way he might be indicating given all the winter wear and suits you are wearing. The whales were cool, but we probably saw them for about a total of 10 minutes on a 12 hour day.
