“For someone who doesn't do well on boats this was a smooth ride on a nice boat. Fully booked cruise but doesn't feel too crowded. Fred was a great commentator giving tidbit on the on goings around the fjord with humour. Really enjoyed it. And very informative. Scenery around the fjords was of course breathtaking with a nice short stop to see a fish museum and learn about fish racks. Only negative was probably an ok bottomless coffee. Had one but didn't bother with refills. Not a big deal!”

“I'd never been fishing before but wanted to give it a go, plus this tour is effectively a cruise through the fjords with fishing as an optional bonus. You get unlimited hot drinks and biscuits plus a delicious fish soup, there's comfy seats inside where it's warm and space to stand outside where it's cold but amazing views, so it's worth it. Saw white tailed sea eagles too! I managed to catch an unidentified orange blob on my first try with the rod, which may be a new species. The crew are really friendly and also provide some commentary along the way. Highly recommend this tour.”

He was very easy to talk to and had lots of interesting stories about the places we visited in the Kvaloya area and Tromso. He took nice pictures of all of us and was timely sending them to us.
