Breathe in the sea air. Among the fjords, mountains and arctic waters you might be lucky enough to witness the gentle giants.
Between October and January we welcome the migrating herring to our local waters. With their arrival, the Orcas and Humpback whales are never too far behind.
Tour Itinerary:
Meet your bus driver at 05:20 at the pick up point and settle in for a comfortable and scenic drive out to Skjervøy. When you arrive, your skipper will greet you and walk you to the dressing room. Here you will receive a thermal flotation suit, life vest, goggles, a hat and mittens.
Once you are kitted up, then it is time for the search to begin! Spend 3 hours marvelling at these incredible animals, and watching them feed on the herring shoals that surround Skjervøy. After your RIB tour is over, your guide will assist you in the dressing room and give you a baguette snack to enjoy on the bus ride home.
The bus will arrive back into Tromsø at approximately 17:30.
