1 Hour Photo & History Cruise

My husband and I did the 1 hour trip. There was only one other couple on the boat so it felt like a private excursion. The guides were really friendly and knowledgeable about Tromsø and the surrounding areas. It was a perfect mix of scenery and history. The boat is beautiful too! Highly recommend.

The highlight of our holiday so far. The crew of Hermes II were obviously engaged in a labour of love in looking after and restoring such a beautiful craft to its full glory. We spent a comfortable, enjoyable, informative, engaging and fun hour with guys who took the time to explain the history of the boat and of the harbour. We booked following a recommendation from previous guests and we would definitely recommend this trip and boat to anyone lucky enough to find themselves in Tromso.

We had such a great time on Hermes II. This is an amazingly well preserved 1917 boat that does three different tours - a 1hr tour, a 2.5 hr your, and a 4.5hr fishing and sightseeing tour. Because of our available time, we opted for the 1 hr tour. The boat is very conveniently docked right in the center of town - very easy to finds and access. The crew is fabulous!!! They took the time to ensure we had an excellent cruise - and they are so friendly and expert. The boat is quite stable and in perfect condition - it was a real joy to go out and sightsee. Highly recommended!!!

Absolutely fabulous trip - scenery that was good for the soul, crew that were so kind and thoughtful - We loved every single minute of our journey! Thank you so much!

Had a fun and fact filled morning with the crew on board Hermes II. I felt particularly special as I was the only person with them that morning so I got treated like royalty. Particularly impressed that they ran the tour for one person! Would thoroughly recommend

This was a wonderful introduction to Tromso and being able to see the city from the water. The sun came out and gave us a picturesque setting. Highly recommend if you want to learn about Tromso, the history, and have beautiful views! It was perfect.

Fantastic time with Truls and Frode on Hermes II. Frode was a brilliant captain and Truls an amazing and fun host, with so much interesting knowledge on the ships history and the surrounding areas. Highly recommend this beautiful cruise with wonderful hospitality plus stunning views!

An amazing experience! Tromsø and the neighbourhood are magnificent on their on, but from a bout the view is the best! Also the boat is supercool, Trols and Trodo, the hosts, are the absolute best: the talk, the stories, the way they move around the boat - just spectacular 😍

Very good experience with the trip on the Hermes II, a ship full of history. Thanks to the good work of Truls, who is a very didactic and fun guide, they make you have a great time and enjoy the surroundings of Tromso from another perspective. It depends on the time of year that you go, you can find different landscapes, I was in September and it was a nice sunny day, seeing animals and breathing fresh air. Thank you so much

We couldn't be more happy with the trip. Truls was excellent host, wonderful with the kids and informative and funny. We will certainly come back for a longer trip one day. Overnight trip would be a dream come true!!!
