5.Lofoten Island: Silent Trollfjord Cruise from Svolvær

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 389 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $144Top rated

Silent electric Trollfjord cruise from Svolvær with eagle sightings, multi-deck views, and a weather-dependent underwater drone. 3 hours.

“Nice cruise- loved the up and close to sea eagles. Boat slowed so we could all see and take photos. We did not like the fact that the narration could not be heard unless you went inside the boat- outer decks could not hear any of the narration. So we basically could either see outside the sights or hear what we were seeing - not both.”
