I went at 9 pm and it was such an amazing experience. It was around 11 when we got back and this was plenty of time. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly we saw a lot of whales, all of them humpback. There were around 5 swimming around the bay while we were out there and we got very close to them. I also had my nice DSLR camera with me and did not have to worry at all about getting it wet. I'd recommend bringing a dry bag or plastic bag for transit, in case you have choppier conditions than I did. By the way, this company and Elding are exactly the same. I booked with Ambassador, but left from the Elding building.

My son and I booked the regular 3 hour tour, not the small fast boat. We ended up having to go pretty far out to the end of the fjord to see whales so we were glad we were on the warmer and more comfortable boat. In the end, we saw two humpback whales so it was worth it. Our guide was really knowledgeable and talkative. We got a 10% discount by mentioning our hotel. A beautiful but long ride. Ask the shop how the whales are running before going out. We did the 2PM tour.

We took the small boat tour in the evening and ended up being the only two people on that tour. It was 2 hours long and we went out into the fjord to where the whales were swimming.

We were moving right along and all of a sudden there were whales everywhere. We actually got to see one of them breach! It was so impressive that it was worthy of National Geographic. Our guide, who was a marine biologist, said that is rare to see.

Highly recommend this tour. It’s worth the money for the smaller tour because you can see all sides around the boat, so you don’t miss anything.
