Arctic Whale Tours

About us

From November to January, we operate whale-watching tours from both Tromsø and Skjervøy – two starting points for exploring the Arctic fjords and looking for humpback whales and orcas as they follow the herring migration.

Who we are

Our mission is to create memorable experiences at sea while combining comfort, safety and respect for wildlife. Our experienced captains and guides share their knowledge of whales, the marine ecosystem and the coastal traditions of Northern Norway.

Our tours

• From Tromsø: Sail aboard MS Alba, a spacious Westamaran catamaran with heated lounges, panoramic windows and outdoor decks. The full-day tour takes you through the Arctic fjords and includes whale watching, hot drinks and biscuits.

• From Skjervøy: Step aboard RS 78 Hagbart Waage, a historic rescue vessel refitted for passenger comfort. This 2–3-hour whale-watching tour offers the opportunity to experience the whales and Arctic surroundings from a traditional Norwegian vessel.

Our promise – the Whale Pass

Wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed. If you do not see any whales, dolphins or porpoises during your tour, you can join another whale safari free of charge, subject to availability.

On board

• Hot coffee, tea and biscuits are included.

• Light meals and other refreshments may be available for purchase, depending on the tour.

• Safety equipment is included on all tours.
