Aventura en Tromsø

¡Tuvimos una gran experiencia ese día! :) En primer lugar, todo estaba muy bien organizado. Recibimos un correo electrónico el día antes de la excursión en el que se nos informaba de que estaba completa y de que todo el mundo debía llegar antes al punto de encuentro para empezar sin problemas. El MS Gabriele era muy espacioso, había mesas para sentarse y asientos cómodos. En el bar del centro del barco siempre se podían comprar bebidas y aperitivos. El trayecto duró unas 2 horas, pero nuestros guías nos dieron información muy interesante sobre las ballenas y el Ártico todo el tiempo. Además, siempre nos permitían quedarnos en cubierta y observar el paseo. Luego, cuando por fin llegábamos al punto de avistamiento de ballenas, nuestra guía Martina estaba fuera con nosotros, dando instrucciones a todo el mundo sobre dónde mirar, qué buscar, etc. Vimos un montón de ballenas, algunas colas... ¡fue muy, muy bonito y una experiencia inolvidable! :)

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.
