Overview

Available languages

English

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.

From 07 Dec until 15 Jan there is a tour from 09:00 - 16:00. This tour spends the same time with the whales, but is done with a faster boat and therefore a shorter tour overall.

The boat ride is very very long to get to the area where the whales are, but the views are so beautiful that I didn’t mind! Unfortunately, we didn’t spot a whole lot of whales on my tour, but I know it depends on the day. The Tour Guide Was lovely and had a really good balance between giving information and letting everyone just relax.

Very happy we were able to catch the orca from a short distance from our boat, but the humpback was unfortunately too far off
We saw whales

Wonderful experience learning a bit about the whales and managing to see not only orcas but humpback whales, too! I guess we were lucky, but it was great. Beautiful scenery along the way. The boat is nice with seating and tables inside. Food to purchase is a bit limited but that's to be expected on this size of boat. Overall, I would recommend it.

My mum and I went with brim explorer for the whale watching tour and also for the northern lights tour. The staff was super friendly and helpful and it was fun listening to them! So I’m glad we booked the two adventures with brim explorer. Of course you need some luck to see whales, but our captain knew the right spots so we could see orcas and humpback whales! It’s a once in a lifetime experience! For me the distance the captain kept between the boat and the whales seemed just right. We could see the whales but didn’t disturb them. That was important for us, so thank you!
Great trip with amazing...

Great trip with amazing scenery on the way to the whales! It’s a long trip, but they keep you entertained with some informative and interesting lectures. Food and drink available for purchase on the boat, but they’re a little pricey, so bring some snacks. They even spotted the northern lights for us to enjoy on the way back!
