The captain/guide spoke proper English and he was very nice and friendly. We spotted whales as well.

Really nice guy and perfect tripPosted on Lynn RosenthalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had an incredible experience with Captain Dan from Salty Beard! From start to finish, it was fun, refreshing, and truly memorable. Dan’s deep knowledge of the area combined with his humor, charm, and easygoing style made the trip feel both personal and epic. He showed us hidden corners of the fjord, shared stories that brought Oslo’s waterfront to life, and created a relaxed atmosphere that made us feel like old friends. This was hands down one of the highlights of our time in Norway, and we can’t recommend it enough.
