Tromsø
From November to January, the fjords north of Tromsø come alive with orcas, humpback whales and fin whales as they gather for their annual feast on Atlantic herring.
This tour is operated by Njord Adventures.
Experience a personal and hassle-free whale watching adventure, where you can see these ocean giants in their natural environment while taking in the raw, untamed beauty of Northern Norway.
The journey to the whales takes approximately 2.5 hours. During this time, you can relax and enjoy the ocean, mountains, fjords and the polar night of Northern Norway. On the way, we navigate through different areas with varying sea conditions, from more sheltered waters to the everyday adventure of crossing Lyngenfjord.
When we reach the whales, we slow down and take our time. There is no strict schedule – the whales and the weather set the pace.
Throughout the day, you will be looked after by our friendly and experienced crew, who have many years of first-hand knowledge of the sea, nature and wildlife of Northern Norway. Tea, coffee and biscuits are available free of charge, and we also serve a light soup lunch on the way back to Tromsø.
Our boat, MS Sylvkallen, is a 17-metre monohull with two cosy indoor lounges and a spacious deck. As the smallest boat offering daily whale watching trips from Tromsø, she is ideal for those who want a closer-to-the-elements experience while still enjoying the comfort of warm indoor areas.
Fully equipped with all necessary safety equipment, Sylvkallen is a sturdy and seaworthy boat, perfectly suited to northern sea conditions.
Come and share a day with us, the whales and the beauty of Northern Norway!
