Head to the feeding grounds of killer whales and humpback whales from Tromsø. Welcoming adventurers from ages 2 and up on this family-friendly excursion!

This trip takes place from Tromsø in northern Norway. Tromsø is situated within the Arctic Circle, making it one of the northernmost cities in the world. Every year, humpbacks and orcas come to the Northern fjords of Norway to feed off Atlantic herring. This excursion will take us out to these spots to witness these beautiful marine mammals while they hunt for food.

Following international whale watching guidelines, this tour puts the utmost priority on protecting the wildlife. You will observe them from the boat without interfering with their habitat. The passionate and experienced crew on board will tell you all there is to know about these giants of the sea, while you get up close in the safest and most respectful way possible. 

The day begins by meeting your guides directly at the harbour for this 6-7 hour journey. On the way, hot drinks of tea, coffee or hot chocolate, biscuits, and a light soup lunch will be served to keep you warm and replenished. The journey to the feeding ground is approximately 2 hours long. Along the way, let yourself be dazzled by the views of the Norwegian fjords and mountains.

Your guides will also try to spot other wildlife as you navigate the waters: common sightings include harbour porpoises, white-beaked dolphins, and birdlife such as seagulls, little Auks, and white-tailed eagles. The impressive biodiversity up in the Arctic waters is sure to keep you busy while you make your way to the main event. After witnessing the fascinating natural cycles of the wildlife, you will return to the starting point.

My husband and I are really loved that experience. We saw orcas and humback whales. The orcas came close to say hi! It was a nice boat with toilet. I specially reserved for this boat beacuse it's a smaller boat. Everyboday has it's own seat during the travel even if it was a bit cramped. The camptain and the guide was friendly and helpful, and said a lot of useful information during the day.If i had the opportunity to travel again i choose the same company again. because the ship was fast we spend more than 2 whole ours on the spot and i loved that.

My mom and I really enjoyed this excursion! We saw a humpback whale and many orcas! We went during the first week of December and had the most gorgeous sky for our whole boat ride. It was really nice to be able to go inside the boat and get warm whenever we wanted. I loved that our captain/crew members were respectful of the whales. They kept their distance and let the whales come to us!
