What you can expect
Enjoy a whale-watching adventure onboard an open RIB boat. Search for humpback whales, fin whales and orcas in their natural habitat as you admire the incredible landscape of the Arctic.
Meet your bus driver at 05:20 AM at the pick up point at TROMSØ HAVN PROSTNESET AT THE BUS TERMINAL (Samuel Arnesens gate 5, 9008, Tromsø).
Please be ready at the BUS TERMINAL and settle in for a comfortable and scenic drive out to Skjervøy.
Remember to bring snacks with you, as it will be a long day. If you have specific allergy or dietary requirements we recommend bringing your own food and snacks with you, so you are sure you have food that is safe and good for you to eat.
You can relax on the 4-hour bus journey to the island of Skjervøy, the town closest to the feeding grounds of the whales. Here, you are met by your skipper for a pre-departure briefing.
The skipper will provide a thermal floating suit, boots, goggles and gloves. But please DRESS WARM FROM HOME in layers, as it is cold being out at sea. Bring also mittens, hat and a buff to stay warm.
Then, the fun begins as you speed through the stunning fjords of Northern Norway, searching for a dorsal fin or the splash of a fluke. Have your camera at the ready to capture the stunning sights of whales in their Arctic feeding grounds. Look out for Orcas, Humpback Whales, Fin Whales, White-tailed Sea Eagles and much more. Learn about them and other local marine life with your experienced skipper.
After approximately three hours at sea, you will return to harbour and warm up with a hot drink and a light sandwich. From here, you go back to the bus to enjoy the journey back to Tromsø. You will be back at approximately 17:30.
NB: Children younger than 14 years old & less than 140 cm tall cannot join the tour for safety reasons.
