Whale Safari in Tromso
Overview
Experience the thrill of whale watching in Tromsø onboard the very comfortable catamaran MS Gabriele. It is also the fastest boat which means we get to the whales faster and can spend more time observing them. The most common species seen around Tromsø are the humpback whale, orca (killer whale), and sometimes the fin whale. Humpback whales are known for their acrobatic displays, often breaching and slapping their tails on the water, while orcas, with their distinctive black-and-white pattern, hunt in packs and are a sight to behold as they glide through the waves. Occasionally, lucky visitors may spot the elusive fin whale, the second-largest animal on Earth. Marvel at the breathtaking beauty of these incredible creatures as they glide through pristine waters. Don’t miss the chance to create memories that will last a lifetime—book your whale safari in Tromsø today. The tour lasts between 6 to 8 hours to ensure we have enough time to find whales any day and time to observe them.
