The ultimate whale watching experience

Your arctic adventure starts from Tromsø early in the morning on a thrilling whale watching adventure! The warm and luxurious catamaran is not only sustainable, but is also fast, making us among the first to reach the whale’s feeding grounds. That means you can spend more time being amazed by Orcas, Humpbacks and porpoises playing in the fjords of Northern Norway.
Whales are very sociable animals, so don’t be surprised if they put on a little show for you. Snuggle down in a comfortable seat, grab a cup of complimentary coffee or tea and simply enjoy the sight of the majestic Lyngen Alps, the Tromsø fjords and the colorful Polar night sky during your cruise.

About the purpose-built sightseeing boat

The luxurious, sustainable catamaran is the perfect choice for comfortable whale watching in the cold Arctic winter! She is designed specifically for sightseeing tours, meaning that she is spacious, quiet, comfortable and seaworthy, even in rough seas. Breathe in the crisp Arctic air and admire the impressive whales from our large viewing decks, or from the warm cabin with panoramic windows. The licensed café offers tempting, locally baked treats, snacks and drinks to enjoy when you’re not busy capturing photos of Orcas, Humpbacks or porpoises!

Learn about animals in the Arctic

As you cruise the Arctic fjords, you learn more about the whales and their migration from the enthusiastic and professional guides. They are always available and eager to share their knowledge about these magnificent animals and other local wildlife. While you enjoy your time aboard our comfortable boat, the experienced crew are on the lookout for whales. When the crew spots them, the captain lets you know in plenty of time to head out to spacious viewing decks and watch these beautiful giants in their natural habitat.

Second chance guarantee

The crew will do everything they can to ensure that you see Humpbacks or Orcas on our whale watching tour from Tromsø. If you don’t get to enjoy these impressive animals on your first trip, you´ll get a free voucher for the next available whale watching cruise in the same season.

Sustainable & Responsible Whale Watching

The tour is committed to sustainable and responsible whale watching tourism. The silent, fuel-efficient engines ensure minimal impact on marine life, allowing us to glide quietly through the Norwegian fjords without disturbing the whales. The cruise follows Visit Tromsø’s guidelines for whale watching, keeping a respectable distance and allow these incredible animals to approach our boat on their own terms.
