Abenteuer in Tromsø

Wir hatten so ein tolles Erlebnis an diesem Tag! :) Erstens war alles sehr gut organisiert. Wir haben am Tag vor der Tour eine Mail bekommen, dass die Tour ausgebucht ist und dass jeder früher am Treffpunkt sein sollte, damit es reibungslos losgehen kann. Die MS Gabriele war sehr geräumig, es gab Tische zum Sitzen und bequeme Sitze. An der Bar in der Mitte des Schiffes konnte man jederzeit Getränke und Snacks kaufen. Eine Fahrt dauerte ca. 2 Stunden, aber unsere Guides haben die ganze Zeit sehr interessante Informationen über die Wale und die Arktis gegeben. Außerdem durften wir immer an Deck bleiben und die Fahrt beobachten. Als wir dann endlich am Walbeobachtungsplatz ankamen, war unsere Führerin Martina draußen bei uns und gab jedem Anweisungen, wo er hinschauen sollte, wonach er Ausschau halten sollte usw. Wir sahen viele Wale, einige Schwänze - es war wirklich sehr schön und ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! :)

Staff was nice, the boat was neat and well maintained. Views were spectacular. If you are in Tromso, do not miss this tour.

An unforgettable experience, our guide Carlos M was charming and very friendly. Your explanations were very useful to us. We were able to enjoy the auroras and it was an incredible moment! Highly recommended!!!

Efficient transportation, helpful orientation, and provision of thermal suits. Despite being accustomed to freezing US winters (-20 to -40 Fahrenheit not uncommon in late December) and being dressed in layers, including parkas, we were freezing. So TAKE THE SUITS when offered. The lavvu was very warm, so the layers were helpful after running in and out to see the lights before dinner. Our hosts were very flexible with the hot drinks, the meal was simple and beautifully presented. The sledding and reindeer feeding was a hoot, the lights were slowly starting to grow as we finished the ride and a full moon/stars complemented the beautiful scenery. Leaving Tromsø in the evening, as charming as the city is, was the best plan we made. Our Sami guides were equally charming during a conversational culture lesson. None of it felt rushed or rehearsed. It happened to be New Years Eve and after a wonderful evening the bus ride included sparkling, crystal clear snow and the start of fireworks EVERYWHERE along the harbour. Even if Lady Aurora is shy, the people, animals and country are worth the trip. Thanks to everyone who made it a special New Years Eve. Highlight of the trip for 17 AND 22 year old children, as well as their parents.
