Tromsø - Silent Whale Watching by hybrid-electric ship
Spend a day at sea in the beautiful Arctic landscape and get a unique perspective on the giants of the north — orcas, humpback, fin and sperm whales - while our guides share their passion and knowledge about wildlife and nature. Our boats are purpose-built for Arctic whale watching, operating silently in electric mode near the whales to ensure minimal disturbance to the ocean and its inhabitants. This means not only better animal welfare — but also a serene guest experience.
Witness the magnificent Humpback Whales and Orcas as they feed in the herring-rich fjords of the Arctic. Our silent hybrid-electric ship means we minimise disturbance to wildlife and you can watch from the boat with minimal noise.
We depart Tromsø in the morning and head out in the direction of the whales feeding grounds. On the way you can take in the breathtaking views of frozen landscapes in comfortable, warm lounges with panoramic windows. You’ll find a selection of food and drinks for purchase on board.
While we search for the whales, our passionate guides will share personal stories about interesting sights along the way and give you in debt information about the Orca and Humpback Whale. Once the whales have been spotted, we switch to our electric and silent engines to minimise disturbance to the whales. Purpose built for whale watching, our ship has multiple decks, giving our guests space for a great view.
*Please note that the duration of this tour depends on the whales’ location and can range from 8-9 hours. The exact season varies year to year. We cannot guarantee whales sightings.
