About the Activity
What to Expect
Embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure through the breathtaking scenery of the Arctic with our boat trip in Tromsø with whale watching! Set off from Tromsø and cruise through the stunning fjords of the Arctic, where the majestic wildlife takes centre stage. The journey's duration varies between 6 to 8 hours, allowing ample time to spot the magnificent humpback whales breaching dramatically and killer whales hunting in pods. The enchanting blue twilight of the polar night adds a magical touch to the experience, making it a must-see for wildlife enthusiasts.
The MS Gabriele, our spacious catamaran, ensures a comfortable journey with its stable build even in rough seas. With a capacity for up to 198 passengers, it provides a warm and cozy interior, as well as ample outdoor decks for panoramic views. While the boat is heated, it is advisable to dress warmly to fully enjoy the experience on deck. As you glide through the waters, you may also glimpse porpoises or Arctic seabirds soaring above, adding to the rich tapestry of Arctic wildlife.
Committed to animal welfare, our tour is conducted with respect and care, following Visit Tromsø’s ethical guidelines. This journey is ideal for whale enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, and families eager to witness the grandeur of Arctic species in their natural habitat.
