General information

This tour is conducted by Explore 70 Degrees.

IMPORTANT: This tour departs from Skjervøy, not Tromsø. Skjervøy is approximately 150 km from Tromsø.

Let’s have a blast and enjoy this unique natural phenomenon together: a winter adventure with magnificent sperm whales, feeding orcas, humpback whales and fin whales.

In our safe and sturdy RIB boat, we head out to sea in search of these amazing mammals. Hopefully, we will be fortunate enough to spot these giants in their natural habitat. Operating with a maximum capacity of 12 passengers ensures an intimate and personal atmosphere on board during the trip. The crisp, clear ocean air and the magical winter light will provide an unforgettable experience.

We place the utmost importance on animal welfare during our whale safari. With the greatest respect, we will not push the boundaries of these wild animals.

Our local guide has extensive knowledge and expertise in whale watching and will ensure the excursion is conducted to the highest standards of quality and safety, both for you as a guest and for the whales.

We look forward to hosting you!
