    Was ok. We enjoyed it though it was a pity our rib boats were cancelled. The crew fit a lot of effort to help the people who were not well

    Some confusion at the start as a large group of us arrived at the designated spot but with no boat or staff to indicate we were at the right place. There are lots of boats on the quay so it wasn’t clear whether we were at the right place. Once on the boat the experience was much better. MS Gabrielle is warm and comfortable inside, it is not in the slightest cramped. You can access the front, rear, and top deck and there is easily enough space for everyone on board. The 3hr journey to the whale site was generally smooth but there’s a 30 minute section where the water gets choppy - would recommend taking a tablet before getting on board. The staff are very knowledgeable and gave detailed presentations of the four whales you might see: Orcas, Sperm whale, Humpback and Fin whale. We had 45 mins at the feeding site and were very lucky to see a Fin Whale right in front of the boat. Otherwise we saw 5-10 humpback whales some from a distance some from close by. There are lots of smaller boats that get closer to the whales but this practice is likely to be unethical as it disturbs them. Overall you have to accept nature is nature when it comes to what animals you see but we were happy with the tour.

    Not a great experience - the trip barely made it to 6 hours, if that, so feels like a rip off. We were one of the last boats to leave, but a first one to return but a long shot.. I get that the weather and lack of proper daylight this time of year is a factor, but there seemed no genuine interest from any crew on the boat to look for whales. Instead they seemed to be more interested in their phones, and getting the trip over with. Saw one pod of orcas, and even those were spotted by a fellow passenger and not the crew. There was an announcement that other boat saw some whales elsewhere, but that we won’t bother because ‘they might not be there by the time we get there’ - which is an absolute opposite statement from every other whale watching trip I’ve been on! That’s the whole point of it - to see whales, so no one looking out for them or making any effort made a really poor impression. I get that any sightings are not guaranteed, but the lack of effort was a real let down. As well as that, there were only 2 bathrooms for 170 or so people, some basic tea and coffee (but no milk..) and the boat just seemed way too small for the amount of people as some areas would get very crowded. So overall not a great experience & definitely not worth the money.

    Crew were friendly and informative. We saw a pod of orcas but not in the ‘usual’ spot but as a consequence of stopping we no longer had time to go to the ‘usual’ spot of activity. The question is of course - better see something than risk seeing nothing. I think though it caught a lot of passengers off guard that we weren’t going to the area of normal activity for humpbacks too. All in all a good day of general sightseeing of the fjords. The downside like so many excursions was the chaos of finding ‘your’ trip in the overwhelming crowds of the many many trips.
