Avventura in Tromsø

Abbiamo avuto un'esperienza così bella quel giorno! :) In primo luogo, tutto era molto ben organizzato. Abbiamo ricevuto una mail il giorno prima del tour in cui ci veniva comunicato che era tutto prenotato e che tutti dovevano arrivare prima al punto di incontro per iniziare senza problemi. La MS Gabriele era molto spaziosa, c'erano tavoli per sedersi e posti comodi. Al bar al centro della nave si potevano sempre acquistare bevande e snack. Il viaggio di andata è durato circa 2 ore, ma le nostre guide hanno fornito informazioni molto interessanti sulle balene e sull'Artico per tutto il tempo. Inoltre, ci è sempre stato permesso di rimanere sul ponte per osservare il viaggio. Poi, quando finalmente siamo arrivati al punto di osservazione delle balene, la nostra guida Martina era fuori con noi, istruendo tutti su dove guardare, cosa cercare, ecc. Abbiamo visto molte balene, alcune code - è stato davvero, davvero bello e un'esperienza indimenticabile! :)

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.
