We enjoyed the traditional fishing boat and the fact that Hauganes is the oldest tour company. They were very welcoming and knowledgable and had hot drinks and snacks on board.
Being our first tour, we would have been happy to see just one or two animals but we could not have anticipated the number of dolphins that surrounded our boat. It started with just a couple swimming underneath us and before we knew it there were too many to count! Jumping and flipping all over the place. We didn’t want it to end.

Excellent Well run tour. I like the oak boats. Tour guide spoke over loudspeaker in English as we went telling us about the whales and when and where they were spotted. The weather was not great and they were very honest... read moreWell run tour. I like the oak boats. Tour guide spoke over loudspeaker in English as we went telling us about the whales and when and where they were spotted. The weather was not great and they were very honest with guests that it may be a poor day to go, and that you could reschedule or get a refund if you liked. We saw humpback whale very close. I would go on this tour again for sure read less
