Urban experiences meets raw Arctic nature
Helgøy Skyssbåt
Helgøy Skyssbåt is a family-owned shipping company offering unique maritime experiences in the Tromsø region during the winter season.
About us
We specialize in whale watching in the Arctic waters around Skjervøy, one of the most important feeding grounds for orcas and humpback whales.
We follow a fixed route to the whale watching area but, adjust our course whenever the whales move outside the main area. With our fast vessels, we have the flexibility to change direction when needed, increasing the chances of excellent sightings. We intentionally limit capacity to ensure a comfortable and relaxed experience on board.
You’ll travel on a modern, refurbished vessel featuring a heated indoor lounge and large windows, allowing you to enjoy the scenery in comfort regardless of weather conditions. With an experienced captain and crew who know the local waters well, you are in safe hands throughout the journey.
Our tours are suitable for couples, friends, and families. We make it easy to travel with children, with ample space for strollers and equipment—and free travel for children under 4 years old.If you are continuing your journey after the tour, we provide generous luggage space on board, so you can easily bring what you need.
Complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are served on board. In addition, a selection of snacks and beverages is available for purchase on board, including vegetarian and vegan options.
As a certified Eco-Lighthouse company, we are committed to protecting the environment we operate in and reducing our environmental impact.
Please note that the vessels are not wheelchair accessible due to boarding conditions and varying water levels at low tide.
Northern Lights tours are available upon request for groups.
