Overview
In winter, whales come to the herring-rich fjords in northern Norway to hunt. This is a unique opportunity to experience the whales up close while exploring the beautiful Fjords of northern Norway.
You will get to enjoy the beautiful winter skies, while surrounded by mountains and the fjords wildlife.
Once on the boat we will make our way out into the fjords to look for humpback whales and Orcas. We will keep a safe distance and turn off our boat engines to minimize the disturbance to the whales. The whales are just as curious about visitors as we are about them, so they will most likely come and swim around our boat.
Please note that while we try our best, we can not guarantee that we will actually see whales on the trip. The season start and end date can be adjusted according to whale migration patterns.
The transfer to the harbor takes approximately 1.5 hours each way and is included in the tours total time. Actual time on the boat is approximately 3.5 hours.
