Small Group Whale Watching by RIB
Overview
In winter, whales come to the herring-rich fjords in northern Norway to hunt. This is a unique opportunity to experience the whales up close while exploring the beautiful Fjords of northern Norway.
You will get to enjoy the beautiful winter skies, while surrounded by mountains and the fjords wildlife.
Once on the boat we will make our way out into the fjords to look for humpback whales and Orcas. The whales are just as curious about visitors as we are about them, so hopefully the will come and swim around our boat. Due to the temperatures in the arctic, we are out on the boat for approx. one hour
Please note that while we try our best, we can not guarantee that we will actually see whales on the trip. The season start and end date can be adjusted according to whale migration patterns.
We conduct this tour in small groups of maximum 12 participants only to ensure a great and personal experience for all of our guests.
