I'm still buzzing! Went with my boyfriend and honestly, it felt like the whales were giving us a private show. We saw two humpbacks right off the bat—one even smacked its tail like it was waving?? Got a bit chilly on deck but the crew had these super thick suits (looked a bit silly but soooo warm, trust me). I barely took any pics cause I just wanted to stare. If you’re even a little into wildlife, DO THIS.

Went with my sister in July. We did see whales but not super close up. Still, the crew were TOP, explained a lot about the fjord and whale facts. The boat ride itself is pretty, just bring a hat cause the wind is nonstop. Got a bit crowded up top but worth it for the view. Would def recommend, just keep expectations realistic (nature is wild, not a zoo).

Did the early morning tour cause I heard it’s less crowded. Yup, only a handful of us. Saw two big whales, lots of puffins flying by too. The guide let us borrow binoculars for free. I didn’t get the best pics but honestly, just being there was enough. If you get seasick, bring meds—my stomach was NOT happy by the end.

What to bring

Warm layers and good shoes will ensure you stay comfortable on board, even in shifting conditions.

It’s a good idea to pack hats and gloves, as the winds on the fjord can be chilly.

Don’t forget a camera because sightings and landscapes make for excellent photos.

Consider carrying sunscreen and sunglasses for bright days on the water.
