Beautiful but cold! - Experience recommended! With a fishing boat that could accommodate a small group of people we could admire a beautiful group of killer whales (perhaps even too closely) after less than an hour of searching the fjord. The captain was very kind and helpful, they are also provided with suits and gloves to counteract the cold even if with the wind on the fjord you have to be patient, but it is absolutely worth it!
