Set sail from Tromso on an 8 to 9-hour whale-watching cruise aboard a purpose-built hybrid-electric boat, switching to silent electric operation around the whales.

Getting started

Meet at the pier beside Skarven Kro Restaurant at Kaigata 6 in Tromso at least 15 minutes before departure. Board your boat and settle into the heated panoramic lounges or head to one of three outdoor viewing decks as you leave the city.

What to expect

Searching for Arctic whales

Cruise toward the whales' current feeding grounds, taking in fjords, snow-covered mountains, and frozen seascapes along the way. Marine biologist guides share insights into whale behavior, migration, feeding patterns, and Arctic life while the crew searches for wildlife.

When whales are spotted, the boat switches to its silent electric motor to reduce noise and vibration. Look for orcas, humpback, fin, and sperm whales while observing them with minimal disturbance before cruising back to Tromso.

Features:

  • Silent whale watching: The vessel switches to electric propulsion around whales, reducing noise and disturbance while they feed and move naturally.

  • Purpose-built hybrid-electric boat: Watch from three outdoor decks or stay inside the heated lounges with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows.

  • Marine biologist guides: Hear stories and insights about whale behavior, migration, feeding, and Arctic nature throughout the journey.

  • Flexible whale search: The route follows the whales' current feeding grounds rather than a fixed destination, giving the crew flexibility to search where activity is occurring.

After your whale-watching session, you’ll cruise back to Tromso with memories of Arctic marine life few get to witness.
