Johana, our tour guide is very enthusiastic about her job and did her best to transmit us all those interesting information making our trip even more pleasant. She was even kind enough to share more details about places to visit and things to do in Tromso. The nature was breathtaking and we got a great taste of the Nordic landscapes in winter.

The boat, a charming wooden sailboat (but they used the engine) gave a perfect atmosphere for the trip around the inner Oslofjord. The shrimp buffet, with white bread, butter, mayonnaise and a pile of shrimp on top...loved it! (you have to peal the shrimp yourself) The crew where polite, helpful and spreading good mood to us all. 5 star trip!!!”

“The whole experience was amazing. Joaquin and Lucas were so friendly and made the trip worthwhile. They ensured that everyone involved got to see the amazing scenery that tromso/sommaroy and the fjiords offered and that people could get as many pictures as possible. My wife was pregnant so the small group and attention to detail the guides offered made it worthwhile. One of the best tours we have done and can't say anything negative at all about the trip. Amazing!”

We got to see reindeers from afar to not disturb them during their pregnancies, seals in the fjords also from afar, very close fly of an eagle above us and short glance of an white weasel trying to cross the road.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 170 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $90

A simple buffet of Norwegian shrimp, bread, butter, lettuce, dill, lemon, and mayonnaise is served, with blankets available when the breeze turns cold.

“The trip was excellent, and the team on the boat was as well. The shrimp buffet was fresh and tasty, and the wine choice was good. Only one challenge. The first passengers occupy the tables. So if you have a family or large group of people who want to share the table, come a minimum of 30 minutes beforehand. I highly recommend spending the evening in the summertime.”
