Daily whale tour
Come with us in search of these fantastic cetaceans, giants of the sea that between November and January come to the waters of the Norwegian Sea to feed on herring.
We depart from Tromsø at 08:00 in the crisp arctic morning air. Our destination is a whale watchers dream, the feeding grounds of both Orcas and Humpback whales. We arrive in time to enjoy the few hours of polar daylight that the Tromsø winter season gives us. On the way to the whale watching area, you can take in the breathtaking views of the Tromsø fjords and frozen landscapes of the arctic fjords from our hybrid-electric boat. Our captain will keep an eye out for the whales. Sometimes it takes a little longer to spot an Orca or Humpback, but our guides have some nifty tricks to spot them. While we search for the whales, our passionate guides will share their personal stories from the Tromsø area and interesting sights that we can see from the fjords. Of course, a whale watching tour would not be complete without an abundance of information about the Orca & Humpback Whale.
Once the whales have been spotted, we will switch to our electric and silent engine to minimise disturbance to the whales. The vibrations and noise from the engines have been cited by researchers as a large disturbance to marine life and whales. Designed for whale watching, our boat has comfortable, warm lounges with panoramic windows, so that you will have a front-row seat to the whales from wherever you are. You’ll find a selection of food and drinks for purchase on board.
