Overview

Come and experience the beauty of killer whales and humpback whales in their feeding grounds.

We are Arctic Adventure Tours and your tour starts at the BUS TERMINAL at Tromsø Havn Prostneset. Look for and go to the big red bus from Best Arctic. Please be ready at the bus terminal at 05:20 AM.

After a scenic drive from Tromsø, your local skipper will greet you and provide you with thermal flotation suits and safety equipment in our dressing room.

(Dress in several warm layers from home - being at sea in the Arctic in winter is a cold experience).

From here there is a short walk down to the RIB boat and then the search for the whales begins. After the tour, you will receive light sandwich and drink to enjoy before the bus ride back to Tromsø.

Remember to bring snacks with you, as it will be a long day. If you have specific dietary requirements we recommend bringing your own food and snacks with you, so you are sure you have food for the day.

Duration: 12 hours (05:20 AM - 17:30)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Tromso Skjervoy Whale Watching on RIB Boat?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
