Experience a unique adventure with this Whale Watching Boat Trip from Stø! Begin your journey as we set out towards the Bleik Canyon, an underwater marvel known for its abundant marine life. Onboard, our comfortable vessel offers amenities such as tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and biscuits to keep you refreshed. With our experienced and multilingual guides, you will be in capable hands as we venture offshore. As we move into deeper waters, you might spot several whale species like the majestic sperm whale, playful pilot whales, the acrobatic humpback whale, and even the striking orca or killer whale.
During the tour, we will make a memorable stop at a bustling puffin colony, where you can witness these charming birds in their natural habitat. This stop is a must-see, as the island is home to approximately 30,000 puffins each summer, making it an avian paradise. On the return journey, a delightful soup lunch made from local ingredients will be served, including our renowned fish soup or a vegetarian option, accompanied by fresh bread. This is a perfect time to relax, enjoy the stunning landscapes, and reflect on your encounters with nature.
Our final destination is the picturesque island of Anda, where you will be guided close to the bird cliffs that host a variety of seabirds, including the Atlantic Puffin and the impressive White-tailed Eagle. Keep an eye on the flat rocks north of the island, where you might spot harbour seals basking in the sun. This stop is a fitting end to your adventure, offering spectacular views and a chance to observe diverse wildlife up close.

A very beautiful tour from Sto. The crew provided a lot of information about the area we sailed through. We were very happy that we saw the Minke whale, the humpback whale, and the sperm whale. We enjoyed it.
Great hostile, friendly and educated crew who were determined to tell us a lot about the area, whales, birds etc and to find the whales which we’ve had (minke whales and the sperm whales). We’ve really experienced the Norwegian Sea with the big waves, lots of sealife and really great weather. For us a trip we will never forget and really recommend!
