Get a unique perspective on the majestic Humpbacks, Fin, Sperm whales and/or Orca's as they feed in the herring-rich fjords of the Arctic. With purpose made hybrid-electric boats for whale watching, we minimise disturbance to nature and whales.
Leaving Tromsø in the morning, we head to where the whales are in time to enjoy the short hours of daylight. On the way you can take in the breathtaking views of frozen landscapes in comfortable, panoramic lounges and 2 decks.
We use a hybrid engine to reach the whale’s feeding grounds, and as we near the whales, we switch to a silent electric engine that allows us to get closer without disturbing them.
Please note that the duration of the trip depends on the whales’ location. It takes up to 3.5 hours to get to the whales and can therefore range from 8-9 hours.
Please note that whale sightings are not guaranteed.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see so many humpback whales in their natural habitat. Started off with an early morning boat ride to the fjord. Boat ride was mostly smooth sometimes choppy, it was about 4hrs each way plus about 1.5hrs stalled at the fjord watching the whales. Long journey, but definitely worth the time. We went towards thens of January which is when the feeding season ends before they migrate to the Caribbean.

We got lucky! In a very grey/cold/rainy day we managed still to see a few orcas, humpbacks and fin whales! The trip is long to the place where the whales feed, but the crew is so lovely and knowledgeable that makes it so much nicer.

Incredible day! We saw so many whales! Humpbacks and a huge pod of orcas, so close to the boat! We also took a 3 month old baby, the boat was so clean, well organised with excellent baby change facilities. staff were amazing and the trip light hearted and fun!

I took this at the end of the trip, so between staying up into the wee hours of the morning to not much sleep to get up and day daytime activities, I was so beat, I ended up sleeping for a great deal of this. I did t really pay attention to exact times, but I believe this was a 3+ hour ride to see the whales and then back again. Great to have room to stretch your legs instead of a bus, but the one I did with the RIB provided less people to battle to see the whales. The whales I did see with this tour were not close, so if we are comparing the RIB is better in my opinion, but you do t have the luxury of going indoors to a warm area like this tour, so it really depends on what your needs are.
