The captain and crew were engaging and created a unique experience in boating right up to the frozen section of the fjord. It was really fun (but freezing) sailing through the layer of mist in the fjord. The eagles and gulls came by to keep us company for awhile. The best part was fishing for our lunch and it was such a bonus with the two cod we caught. The fish soup lunch was delicious, and the crew also took good care of the vegetarians and lactose intolerent amongst us. Oh and the endless supply of cookies on board. Ohhhh those cookies were so good.

It is much more exciting than I expected. All of itineraries including fish soup were priceless and the guide is so energetic that just listening to her explanation about tromso makes me happy. It is surely compared to aurora chasing programs in tromso. I highly recommend to take this program.

The scenery of the fjord is very beautiful,the fish soup taste very good.Fishing very interesting though i caught nothing.The seamans were very friendly and talkative.

I booked this last minute because most other tours were full, and I am so happy I did! Raul is a wonderful guide, and this is a fun, interactive, and beautiful tour.

The Captain is nice and smiles at guest...the crew helped us w fishing and it was a fun bird watching. the cod soup was very good
