Overview

Unlike Tromsø’s full-day whale safaris, this tour takes you straight to Skjervøy, where orcas and humpbacks gather just minutes from the harbour. With less sailing and more time whale watching, it’s a short, powerful Arctic adventure. Guests already in Skjervøy can join the Boat Only option directly at the harbour, while those in Tromsø can choose the Bus + Boat package, which includes a scenic transfer on a modern Best Arctic coach with Wi-Fi, USB charging, toilets, and panoramic windows. Onboard the historic RS 78 Hagbart Waage, a former Norwegian rescue vessel, you’ll enjoy comfort and authenticity — a heated indoor lounge, outdoor decks, and free hot drinks. Our expert guides share insights about whales and the Arctic ecosystem, and with our Whale Pass, if no whales are seen you can rebook another tour free of charge within 12 months.
