Mobile ticket
Come and experience the beauty of killer whales and humpback whales in their feeding grounds.
We are Arctic Adventure Tours and your tour starts at the BUS TERMINAL at Tromsø Havn Prostneset. Look for and go to the big red bus from Best Arctic. Please be ready at the bus terminal at 05:20 AM.
After a scenic drive from Tromsø, your local skipper will greet you and provide you with thermal flotation suits and safety equipment in our dressing room.
(Dress in several warm layers from home - being at sea in the Arctic in winter is a cold experience).
From here there is a short walk down to the RIB boat and then the search for the whales begins. After the tour, you will receive light sandwich and drink to enjoy before the bus ride back to Tromsø.
Remember to bring snacks with you, as it will be a long day. If you have specific dietary requirements we recommend bringing your own food and snacks with you, so you are sure you have food for the day.
Duration: 12 hours (05:20 AM - 17:30)

Hello Norwegian Orcas!

5.00Patience and be grateful with what nature has to offer. After 1.5hrs of searching the area, our groups (just 2 boats) were blessed with 2 pods of Orcas! No words can describe the excitement of first seeing the Orcas close up with your own eyes.
We had a blast!

5.00We were extremly lucky to see so many whales. But our professional guide, his knowledge of the region and the whale behavior as well as the good (and very warm) gear and garments made it all possible. We recommend taking some snacks with you.
Amazing Trip

5.00The trip was amazing. We saw lots of orcas and humpback whales and the boat ride was also not too wavy. We recommend bringing some snacks as it's in total a 8h bus ride and about a 2.5-3h boat ride.
