Review of Tromsø’s 8-hour whale and orca safari to Skjervøy, with Arctic scenery, heated boat, meals, whale sightings, and practical tips.
“We came across orcas and whales in the middle of lunch - it was a spectacular sight! Before leaving, we were offered a refund if we were afraid of getting sick because the weather was bad. I was very happy to have had the opportunity to do this tour.”

Review of Húsavík’s 2-hour RIB whale and puffin tour, with practical advice on wildlife, price, weather, clothing, and who should book.
“These tours can be hit or miss but the Gentle Giants tour guide and rib boat pilot try their best to make sure you get some whale sightings. On my tour we were fortunate enough to see 5 different whales, some were quite close up to the rib boat. No puffin sightings since the tour was at the end August and Puffin season was over. If you really want to see Puffins, go before August. The tour lasted 2 hours and worth it.”
