Whale watching from our comfortable boat

Our fast, warm and modern catamaran takes you on a memorable cruise in unforgettable, Arctic scenery. Cruises from October through January.

On this whale watching adventure from Tromsø, you can enjoy Humpback whales, Orcas and porpoises in search of Atlantic herring, a key food source for marine wildlife in these waters. A local guide tells us all about whales and other wildlife that thrive in Arctic conditions.

About the boat: Feel like an Arctic explorer aboard our spacious catamaran, which is perfect for comfortable whale watching in the cold, far north. The boat is stable, even in rough seas, and she is fast. Her top speed lets us reach the whales quickly. On board, our kiosk offers a selection of baked goods, hot or cold drinks. Enjoy the breathtaking views of spectacular whales and Arctic landscapes from the comfort of our warm cabin with panoramic windows. Then head out in the brisk polar air of our spacious outdoor sun decks for a closer look. The direction of the tour will depend on the weather conditions and the most probable whale sightings.

Whales head north during the winter in search of herring 

Northern Norway’s Tromsø is one of the world’s best bases for spectacular whale watching. October through January is the best period for whale watching because the sea mammals migrate to the waters here in search of herring along Tromsø’s beautiful coast. We usually see Humpback whales and Orcas playing in the feeding grounds. Whales are very social animals, so don’t be surprised if they put on a little show for you. 

Didn’t see whales? Don’t despair! We guarantee a second chance! Our experienced crew will do everything they can to ensure that you see humpback whales or Orcas on the trip. If you don’t get to enjoy these impressive animals, we will give you a free voucher for our next available whale safari within the same season.
