Experience killer whales and humpback whales as they hunt for herring in majestic North Norwegian fjords. Join us for a whale safari from Tromsø on a comfortable and spacious boat, accompanied by knowledgeable guides.

Enjoy a fjord cruise in spectacular surroundings with winter-clad landscapes and atmospheric twilight light from our lounge or out on our large deck. On board, there will be guiding and information from our guides. When we arrive in the Skjervøy area, we keep a lookout for a blow or a breach and hope to introduce you to our friends in the sea, killer whales and humpback whales, as they hunt for food in the fjords.

  • NB: the duration of this trip depends on where the whales are located and is approximately 8 hours. The exact season varies from year to year, and we cannot guarantee that we will find the whales.
