SILENT WHALE SAFARI
Daily whale tours from Tromsø
We depart from Tromsø at 08:00 in the crisp arctic morning air. Our destination is a whale watcher’s dream, the feeding grounds of both Humpbacks, Fin, and/or Orca’s. We arrive in time to enjoy the few hours of polar daylight that the Tromsø winter season gives us.
On the way to the whale watching area, you can take in the breathtaking views of the Tromsø fjords and frozen landscapes of the arctic fjords from our hybrid-electric boat.
Always Scouting
Our captain will keep an eye out for the whales. Sometimes it takes a little longer to spot an Humpbacks, Fin, Sperm whale and/or Orca’s, but our guides have some nifty tricks to spot them. While we search for the whales, our passionate guides will share their personal stories from the Tromsø area and interesting sights that we can see from the fjords. Of course, a whale watching tour would not be complete without an abundance of information about the whales that live in the north.
Whale watching tour with minimal intrusion
Once the whales have been spotted, we will switch to our electric and silent engine to minimize disturbance to the whales. The vibrations and noise from the engines have been cited by researchers as a large disturbance to marine life and whales.
*Please note that the duration of this tour depends on the whales’ location and can range from 8-9 hours. The exact season varies year to year but is usually between November and 31 January. Our crew will do their best to find the whales but we can not guarantee whales sightings.
