Whalesafari from Tromsø
We set out on a whale watching trip from central Tromsø in the morning, looking for humpback whales and killer whales.
This boat trip takes you out to the places where these graceful giants come in search of herring.
You can experience the whale from the panoramic windows of the lounge on board, then step out into the crisp arctic air on deck to get even closer to the whale.
MS Gabriele is one of Norway's most beautiful charter boats and takes 195 passengers. With a speed of up to 25 knots, we get quickly and comfortably to where the best experiences are to be found.
MS Trolltind Nordic was originally buildt for whale research. The boat is spacious inside and outside for up to 84 passengers. The boat is very seaworthy.
WHALESAFARI
6-8 hour round trip with a safe and good boat. No disembarkation during the trip. The duration of the trip depends on where the whales are located, and can therefore vary from 6-8 hours to ensure we find the whales.
Humpback whales can grow up to 16 meters long and are known for their fantastic "break" when they burst straight out of the water. Black and white killer whales travel in large groups in search of herring. If we're lucky, we'll also see porpoises, and we'll get to experience a number of wild arctic birds.
Tromsø is located north of the Arctic Circle, and although it is dark in the period 27 November to 15 January, there are still hours of magical blue twilight for parts of the day. The boat trip from Tromsø through the fantastic fjord landscape is magical.
The boats have plenty of space both outside and inside. The boats are stable even in rough seas. The boat is warm and cozy, but you should wear clothing to be out on deck.
We take animal welfare seriously, and we are out in the field with great respect and caution. We follow Visit Tromsø's guidelines for whale watching in Trømsø.
