Aventura em Tromsø

Tivemos uma experiência muito boa naquele dia! :) Em primeiro lugar, tudo foi muito bem organizado. Recebemos um e-mail no dia anterior ao passeio informando que ele estava lotado e que todos deveriam chegar ao ponto de encontro mais cedo para que tudo começasse bem. O MS Gabriele era muito espaçoso, havia mesas para sentar e assentos confortáveis. No bar no centro do barco, as pessoas sempre podiam comprar bebidas e lanches. A viagem de ida durou aproximadamente 2 horas, mas nossos guias estavam sempre dando informações muito interessantes sobre as baleias e o Ártico. Além disso, sempre nos permitiam ficar no convés e observar o passeio. Então, quando finalmente chegávamos ao local de observação de baleias, nossa guia Martina ficava do lado de fora conosco, instruindo a todos sobre onde olhar, o que procurar, etc. Vimos muitas baleias, algumas com cauda - foi muito, muito legal e uma experiência inesquecível! :)

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.
