Silent Whale Watching by Hybrid-Electric Boat from Tromsø

Overview

Available languages

English

Mobile ticket

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.

It was a good day out on the boat and seeing the whales/orcas. The guide Max definitely kept the boat entertained! Would recommend to go with Brim, as they’re very ethical, ensuring to not disturb the animals.
It was perfect!

It was wonderful to see the whales in their natural habitat all day long. The inside of the boat was heated, which helped to bear the cold. The guides who gave us details about the whales were very informative and friendly.
Great scenery and whae sightings

It is a long boat trip and on the return journey most of it is in darkness. However, the crew gave us some interesting talks about the various whales and there was also a marine biologist on board who shared the sonar readings he had taken from the whales we had seen. We were supposed to take the trip on the Monday but were advised once on board that it was likely to be quite rough and many people the previous day had been extremely seasick. We were given the option to reschedule, which we did for 2 days later. We lucked out - the sea was calm, the visibility of the beautiful coastline really good and we saw a large pod of humpbacks, some orcas and a rare fin whale. Great trip!
Great experience the scenery spectacular

It was a gorgeous experience! Sadly we only saw 2 whales in the distance however we did get to see the northern lights which was an added bonus. The crew were fabulous x

From start to finish the tour was excellent. It is a long way to reach the whales, but we still had around an hour watching them. The crew were really knowledgeable and presented information in a way that's really easy to understand. We saw a pod of orcas, some humpback whales and a fin whale. We even saw northern lights on the way back. The crew is watching out for interesting things and let's you know straight away. I definitely recommend this tour. Even if you don't see any whales or the northern lights, the arctic scenery is spectacular.
Amazing scenery, great wildlife

It was very cold outside but the unlimited coffee makes it better 😆 The explanations of the wildlife were really interesting!! 100% recommend :)

We were so glad we booked this experience for our trip. We were lucky enough to see humpback, orca and fin whales. The boat was well designed for viewing, modern, comfortable and warm with great food and drink. Our guides, Fred, Marsha and Christina, were brilliant! Warm and friendly, and experts in the field. We had really interesting presentations about the whales and their environment as we journeyed to and from the viewing location. The ethos and values of how the company approaches whale watching and having the silent boat is excellent. Would recommend 100%

We had an amazing day out with Brim - got to see orcas, humpbacks, and minke whales, as well as panoramic views of the beautiful fjords! The boat was gorgeous and very comfortable, perfectly set up for sustainable & considerate whale watching. The food and drinks served were really nice, and the crew were fantastic - very knowledgeable, helpful, and fun (especially Connor and Captain Arnstein). A really memorable trip :)
Such a fun day on the...
