Important Information if you want to see whales in Tromsø

In the winter of 2017/18 the whales that use to feed in the fjords outside Tromsø spread out and finally gathered to do their main yearly feeding in “Skjervøy”. This means that there alternatives to go on a guaranteed whale safari around Tromsø has changed from previous years. We do see Humpback Whales, Orcas and Porpoise (a small whale) on some of our Arctic Sail Safari Tours, but we don’t want to guarantee a whale species sighting.

But no need to worry, we have arranged one option to see whales in Skjervøy this year!

The fjords in the Arctic are alive and we want to take you out for the best chances to see whales in small groups. It’s an exciting adventure in the fjords for a day of exploration, spotting whales and other wild life.

For the last 7 years from November to January, Humpback Whales and Orcas have come into the fjords close to Tromsø to feed on herring. From last year they changed their destination to Skjervøy, north-east of Tromsø. From November we will go out and start to search for the whales, the Orca Express Boat is operated by our trusted partner “Arctic Adventure Tours”.

These marine mammals are of course wild and in their natural habitant, so we cannot guarantee to see them, but if we are as lucky as previous years they will be back in our fjords from about November to January.

The skippers and guides we work with have great knowledge and a lot of experience to keep you safe and comfortable while cruising.

Just like you, we love to travel, explore and wish to seek out the best experiences in each destination we venture to.

We believe watching the whales in Arctic during winter time is an experience that you can not miss while in the area.
