Hermes II - unique boat trips in Tromsø

About us

Hermes II is a unique piece of Northern Norwegian coastal history. Experience the breathtaking scenery around Tromsø and the atmosphere on board this authentic wooden boat, which is more than 100 years old. Along the way, we will guide you through its fascinating history and tell you about the boat’s preservation project.

Travel back in time with us and experience a sense of tranquillity as the silence of the sea blends with the rhythmic pulse of the old boat engine.

Visit our Design & Gift Shop

You can also visit the Hermes II Design & Gift Shop in Kystens Hus, where you can learn more about the boat and the trips we offer.

Short trips

Our short trips combine the fascinating history of the boat with Tromsø’s spectacular surroundings. Relax on board and enjoy memorable views just minutes from Tromsø city centre.

These trips are perfect for anyone looking for a short outing at sea while learning more about Northern Norway’s coastal history.

Tailored trips

Would you like to arrange a special trip for your group? Hermes II can provide a memorable setting for a company outing, board meeting, anniversary or another special occasion.

You can choose anything from a simple boat trip with hot drinks to a complete package with restaurant-quality food, entertainment or activities of your choice – or something in between. Together, we will create the perfect programme for your trip on board Hermes II.
