Full description
Step aboard our high-speed modern catamaran and join an exhilarating journey to the heart of the whale's winter wonderland. Our swift vessel ensures that we are one of the first boats to arrive at the whale sighting area on every tour, maximising your time among these magnificent creatures. During winter the humpback and killer whales migrate to Northern Norway, to the cold waters of Tromsø to feed on the Atlantic herring throughout the winter months (mid-October until end of January). As we cruise to the whale location, you are treated to stunning views of the Lyngen Alps and a captivating, scenic voyage. Our knowledgeable guides offer insightful information about the whales and local history, ensuring a fun and educational experience. Relax in our spacious lounge, fitted with panoramic windows and watch the ocean wonders unfold. If you don't see any whales on your tour, you get to book a second tour for free at Norwegian Travel sales shop, Sjøgata 16 (subject to availability on the next tour). We are dedicated to providing eco-conscious experiences and our tours are designed to respect marine life. We adhere to the AECO guidelines for whale watching, and we are Eco-lighthouse certified. Our boat is spacious with a comfortable, warm lounge with panoramic windows, a big kiosk, lavatories, and several outside decks.

I had a wonderful experience! We were able to see a lot of Orcas and even a humpback whale. And on the way back we got the chance to view the northern lights. The guides Daniel and Stan were very nice and so funny! I had a blast! I would really recommend this activity!

The entire experience from start to finish was professionally organised and managed . Dan and Stan the tour guides were brilliant with their talks in whales - Dan has a wicked sense of humour and comes alive when he speaks explaining the whale environment . We managed to see a large number of whales of different species - I surely would recommend it to families and those who want a leisurely day out in the most stunning scenery and also spot whales . Yea and coffee provided was non-stop and the crew looked after all of us . A must do !

We saw humpback whales, fin whales and orcas. The drive past the snow-covered rocks and mountains was impressive. The crew was very friendly, a lot was said and you learned a lot about the animals and the country. The tour is really recommended.
