Norway · WHALE WATCHING IN TROMSø
Good whale watching in Tromsø fill up weeks ahead and the short-season ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Tromsø Whale Safari with MS Gabriele: a warm, fast catamaran hunt for orcas and whales near Skjervøy, plus Arctic fjord scenery and options if whales move on.
“It was very nice, we saw a lot of whales and orcas😍”
Go by small RIB from Tromsø to Skjervøy for Arctic whale watching, with thermal gear, warm food, and possible orca and humpback sightings.
“This has been my dream for years and it did not disappoint! We must’ve seen about 100 orcas and 30 humpbacks. It was such an amazing experience start to finish!”
Silent hybrid-electric whale watching from Tromsø to Skjervøy and Kvaenangen for humpbacks and orcas, warm boat, long fjord day.
“The cabin was lovely and warm with comfortable seats. The trip out to where the whales were was over 3 hours and the sea was very choppy but we did see some whales. Didn't managed to get any photo's as they were to quick when they appeared but it was lovely to see them. And it was an added bonus seeing the northern lights on the trip back.”
Chase migrating whales off Skjervøy on a fast RIB, staying warm in Arctic gear with English guides from Tromsø and nearby.
“This was mine and my boyfriend’s best experience of our lives. Both guides were absolutely fantastic! The tour was incredible and it was run so well. We saw so many orcas and got to take loads of pictures etc. if you are wanting to book a whale watching safari I would definitely recommend you book this one! 10/10”
Heated yacht comfort from Tromsø to Skjervøy for Arctic whale watching, with the Lyngen Alps ride and possible orca and whale sightings.
“Fuimos de Tromso a Skervoy en autobus comodo. Al llegar el propietario del yate nos estaba esperando. El trayecto en el yate fue agradable con calefacción en todo momento. Vimos muchas orcas y ballenas de cerca. Estuvimos mucho rato con ellas y con la posibilidad de poder estar a fuera o cubiertos con la calefacción por el frío. Nos ofrecieron bebidas calientes y galletas. Un acierto este tour para la gente que lo pasa mal por el frío. Ves a las orcas y ballenas igual que en las lanchas rápidas pero sin pasar frío!”
Every kind of day out on this coast, and the best of each.
