Fjord & Whale Adventure
Explore our northern Norwegian fjords with a chance to see whales.
In winter, whales come to the herring-rich fjords in northern Norway to hunt. This is a unique opportunity to experience the whales up close while exploring the beautiful Fjords of northern Norway.
You will get to enjoy the beautiful winter skies, while surrounded by mountains and the fjords wildlife.
Once on the boat we will make our way out into the fjords to look for humpback whales and Orcas. We will keep a safe distance and turn off our boat engines to minimize the disturbance to the whales. The whales are just as curious about visitors as we are about them, so they will most likely come and swim around our boat.
Please note that while we try our best, we can not guarantee that we will actually see whales on the trip. The season start and end date can be adjusted according to whale migration patterns.
Join us for an exciting adventure at our Æventyr Adventure Store conveniently located in the city center. Please arrive 5-10 minutes prior to the Tour's commencement. The Tour will kick off with a brief orientation, and you'll be provided with warm suits, floating west, gloves, boots, and goggles for your boat journey.
Embark on a captivating expedition led by your knowledgeable guide, as we traverse the scenic fjords and majestic mountains.Once we reach the harbor, our voyage onto the fjord begins. Our skilled captain will skillfully seek out the presence of whales, aiming to bring you as close as possible without causing any disturbance to these magnificent creatures. Based on what port we go out from we will be out in the boat between 1-2,5 hours.
Upon returning to the harbor, a light lunch will be served.
We conduct this tour in small groups of maximum 12 participants only to ensure a great and personal experience for all of our guests.
