Go whale and orca watching from Tromsø to Skjervøy on a heated boat, with thermal suits, snacks, lunch, and top crew spotting.
“We went on this trip in Jan ‘23 and were lucky enough to see whales despite it being the end of the season. The scenery was breathtakingly stunning and the transit time to get to where the whales are (around 3 hours) honestly went pretty quickly with the amazing views en route. Many reviews on here saying the travel time to see the whales is too long and that too many people got seasick… I’m surprised people don’t realise that whales do not live close to the port and that the sea can be rocky and cause seasickness… 😅😅 my partner did feel unwell with the motion of the boat…”
