Whale Safari in Tromso
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Experience the thrill of whale watching in Tromsø onboard the very comfortable catamaran MS Gabriele. It is also the fastest boat which means we get to the whales faster and can spend more time observing them. The most common species seen around Tromsø are the humpback whale, orca (killer whale), and sometimes the fin whale. Humpback whales are known for their acrobatic displays, often breaching and slapping their tails on the water, while orcas, with their distinctive black-and-white pattern, hunt in packs and are a sight to behold as they glide through the waves. Occasionally, lucky visitors may spot the elusive fin whale, the second-largest animal on Earth. Marvel at the breathtaking beauty of these incredible creatures as they glide through pristine waters. Don’t miss the chance to create memories that will last a lifetime—book your whale safari in Tromsø today. The tour lasts between 6 to 8 hours to ensure we have enough time to find whales any day and time to observe them.

5.00We booked this last minute and we were so glad we did! The boat was a smooth trip and the tour guides were great. We saw lots of orcas and even a fin whale! The trip in total was 6 hours (9-3) so it was nice to still have some of the afternoon once we docked. Thanks again!

5.00The staff is exceptional, especially Lorenzo, whose english is on the high level, clear and excellent pronunciation, and above everything he's very informational, about whales and generally. The other staff are very polite and reachable. Seeing whales are lifetime experience! Worth every penny spent!
Great service and experience, but too many tall people blocking good views of whales

4.00The humpback whale viewing was difficult because guests at the front wouldn’t kneel to allow more people to see. Otherwise, the guide was great and seeing the orcas was delightful! The cabin was comfortable and overall we really enjoyed our experience
