Great experience. We were lucky enough to see Orcas as well as being in the awe inspiring fiord.
Highly recommend!! The boat is very nice and comfortable with options for indoor/outdoor seating. We had great guides who provided interesting facts intermittently throughout the ride. We were fortunate to see Orca's which was truly and incredible experience! You also have the chance to see Sea Eagles along the way as well. Definitely worth it!
Be prepared for all weathers, you will need a raincoat. As the ship is small, it can manoeuvre within the Trollfjord and is silent. The Trollfjord was well worth visiting, stunning scenery! The ship also knew where to stop to see the sea eagles and we saw loads of them!
Very good trip, the only issue to improve is the low volume of the guide at upper outside desk, was not able to hear it.
Our Silent Trollfjord Cruise was an enjoyable experience in a number of ways, although I did feel as though the price was quite high. We were in Norway for 2 weeks, Lofoten for 4 of those days, and we decided to do this cruise just to soak in the views of Lofoten from the water rather than always from the land looking out. The good: the crew was friendly, helpful (especially with my daughter's food allergies), and very informative. They were a highlight. The views were nice, and we did get to see, photograph, and take video of a number of sea eagles in the area, which was another highlight. The boat was not crowded; there was room for everyone. I do think that the cruise would have been far more enjoyable and the views far more dramatic if we had been blessed with a clear and sunny day; the day we went was overcast and rainy, which was a big disappointment. Obviously, the crew could not help any of that, but it should be considered when making a reservation for this expensive outing if you are looking to get dramatic photos of the fjord. Best for families and those seeking a quiet, calm outing rather than the excitement of the RIB boats.
This was a wonderful cruise! We took the evening cruise from 7:00PM until 10:30PM and were able to see a lovely sunset. We also saw sea eagles, and the crew made sure to alert people to the eagles' location and to pause the boat so that we would have time to take some photos. The fjord is beautiful! The boat is comfortable and we had plenty of space to sit or to walk around the boat to see different views. The commentary was informative, and the view of the fjord floor (under water) was very interesting.
Great cruise, got to see many sea eagles and other wildlife. A dolphin or whale would have been great but this didn't happen.
Nice crew, comfortable boat, very beautiful scenery.
Comfortable and peaceful cruise but English commentary inaudible outside and that was really a shame
Periods of rain on/off throughout the trip - however - it was beautiful and a wonderful experience! The eagles were plentiful and majestic! The accommodations on board were comfortable regardless of weather!
