One of our favorite excursions!! - My parents (late 70s), my husband and I (early 50s) REALLY enjoyed this fishing/fjord tour. We've been travelling for over 2 weeks and out of all our paid excursions, this was one of our favorites (maybe even our favorite out of all). The fishing, the boat and views were fantastic, but the crew made it perfect! All of them made us feel welcome and special. They did everything they could to ensure we had a great time. We learned so much about the ship and the area. I didnt catch any fish, but other passengers did, and the crew cleaned the cod and cooked it all for us to eat. Best fish I've ever eaten! Amazing to be able to sit on the ship and eat fish that was caught not even an hour before. We have another day in the area and I'm tempted to book it again! We definitely recommend this excursion and want to say thank you to the crew that allowed us to have such a wonderful experience! We will be telling everyone back home about how much fun we had today!

HERMES 11. THE BEST fishing trip in Tromso. - We stayed in Tromso for 10 days. We booked 3 seperate fishing trips throughout the 10 days along with other adventures, Hermes 2 being the 1st on Tue 12th Dec. Its fair to say we did THE BEST fishing trip of our time in Tromso on this day on Hermes 2. The Crew were superb. We moved about following the fish throughout the trip, going far out into the lake, unlike other trips. Our trip caught 3-4 times more fish than the other 2 trips we went on. One of the fish my son caught was a great cod and the crew gutted it in front of us as we watched it go in the pan - no pre frozen fish like one of the trips we went on!! The fish was superb to eat. You could watch the sonar screen below in the galley, seeing what the captain saw. This was the only trip to stop and attract the wild eagles and we got to video it diving for fish.
If you are looking for a fishing trip whilst in Tromso, THIS IS THE ONE TO CHOSE. You will not be disappointed. Thankyou for the experience Hermes 2 - sorry it took me so long to post.

A great experience during our stay in Tromsø - My wife, 5 year old son and myself went on the fishing trip in February 2024 and we all had a great time.
The three crew on board were all really friendly, informative and we had a good laugh with them all during our trip. They were particularly good with our son, explaining things, joking with him and showing him photos taken from previous trips. My son really enjoyed the trip and learnt where fish fingers come from!
My wife usually suffers from seasickness and was a little worried before getting on the boat. Fortunately the conditions on the day were really nice, with blue skies and calm seas which helped. But as the boat operates within the shelter of the surrounding islands, I can't imagine it gets too rocky out there, well at least not as bad as the open seas.
When getting onboard, ewe were offered cold weather clothing. But as we were already well wrapped up we didn't need this. We didn't feel cold at any point of the cruise. But in the event conditions are colder there is a heated below deck cabin you can sit in (where lunch is served). There are two proper flush toilets on board as well.
Catching fish on a fishing trip is always in the lap of the gods, so you have to go with the mindset that you might not catch anything. But fortunately the fish were playing ball and we all caught a few fish. My son caught 3 cod, my wife caught 2 cod and another fish (lira?) And I caught 2 cod and also a plaice - which apparently is a rarity for the boat.
We spent some time on the bridge chatting with the captain and my son particularly enjoyed being allowed to steer the boat! The captain was showing us the navigation screens and also the sonar used to help detect where the shoals of fish were, to increase our chances of catching.
The crew then filleted the fish and cooked some up for us. It was so tasty. You can't get any fresher than that! We were also given fish cakes and offered hot drinks - both included with the package.
After lunch we cruised along one side of the fjord and we're lucky enough to see a white tailed eagle up close. The scenery in the area is stunning!
Overall it was a great experience and one I'd recommend to anyone visiting Tromsø. The boat is very safe and with relatively high sides, there's no chance a child can fall in (which is no doubt a concern for any parent thinking of booking this trip).

norwegian sea fishing - An unexpected experience of fishing in the Arctic. Starting from the pier, the scenery along the way is beautiful. The icebergs and plains are all on the way. You can have a panoramic view. The captain is very handsome. The members on the boat are very friendly and will teach everyone how to fish. My grandfather caught 7 fish during the whole trip. , I... caught a t-shirt... Hahahaha, catch and cook immediately using a simple cooking method. I didn’t expect the fish to be really delicious🩷A great experience

Outstanding - This is probably one of the best trips you can chose of, not only if you are up to fishing but the experience and scenery is one of a kind. The whole crew of the boat are very kind and helpful. We caught a lot of fish and we even saw some eagles. Definitely recommend!

Fun and exciting! - It was a great experience learning how to fish for the first time, seeing eagles, and learning about the marine wildlife in the Arctic as well as the history of the ship.
