My dream came true today: I finally saw whales in real-life 🙂 After a failed attempt in Argentina a few years ago, I almost lost hope but these guys are very professional, know where to look, mention when and where they see one so you can follow and take photos or video. Face mask mandatory for everyone, which was not a problem because it's also helpful against cold wind. Coffee, hot chocolate and cinammon roles were provided at about 2/3 of the trip, you need to sanitize your hands before grabbing something. We felt warm because of the floating overalls we got to wear and were lucky on the weather. Nice staff. They sell some lovely local, hand-made stuff in the shop. If you join this whale tour you get 10% discount on the food at the nearby restaurant, which has an excellent fish soup. Hauganess is a tiny town but this whale watching tour is well-worth the drive. Not sure how many people can fit max on this boat, today there were about 30. You do not need to print the booking, just tell your name. read less

We all were outfitted in special gear and was amazed at how organized the process went. The crew was professional and found perfect views of the whales. The narrative of the area was interesting and we were served local homemade donuts to go with the coffee. We enjoyed the trip and would do it again with the crew of the Niels Jonsson. read less
