Tour description

Depart Tromsø at 08:00 in the crisp arctic morning, and head out to the whales’ feeding grounds in time to enjoy the few hours of polar daylight. Purpose-built for whale watching, the hybrid-electric boat gives you a unique perspective on the surroundings.
On the way, you can take in the frozen landscapes as it slowly wakes up. You can relax in comfortable, panoramic lounges and multi-level decks. The friendly crew will share their personal stories about interesting sights along the way and give you in debt information about the Orca and Humpback Whale.
As the boat is getting closer to the whales, it switches to a silent, electric engine, which allows the boat to get close without disturbing the whales. You will find a selection of food and drinks for purchase onboard.
Please note that the duration of this trip depends on the whales’ migration pattern and can therefore range from 6-8 hours. The crew will do their best to find the whales, but can not guarantee sightings as orcas and humpback whales, as they are wild animals and do as they please.
Join in for an unforgettable meeting with humpback whales and orcas.

Life in the arctic

Norway’s Arctic Climate

Norway’s Arctic is one of the most astounding places on the planet. From the vast untouched snowy landscape, to the breathtaking Aurora Borealis, to the unique wildlife, the Arctic is truly something incredible. Unfortunately, climate change is having a devastating impact on Arctic regions worldwide. If change doesn’t occur rapidly to repair the damage that has already been done, the results will be devastating for Arctic regions as well as the rest of the world.

Animals in the arctic

It should come as no surprise that the Arctic region is one of the toughest places on earth for wildlife to live. Humans have been able to adapt fairly well to living in this part of the world due to the ability to wear clothing and reside in heated structures throughout the majority of the winter. However, for the animals that are forced to stay outside and venture through the Norwegian fjords and other areas of the Arctic, the climate is much more inhospitable.

The Arctic Circle

Sitting at Earth’s most northerly latitudes, you can think of the Arctic as the planet’s hat. The main focus of this area is, of course, the North Pole, however there is so much more to it than that. Surrounding the North Pole is the Arctic Circle which stretches out into different countries, forming a line around the top of the Earth. Let’s take a closer look at this fascinating part of the world.
