On route, hear intriguing tales from your guide about the seas around northern Norway. The local waters attract large pods of whales, as well as seals and majestic sea birds.
Stop to pull on your lifejacket and drive to a harborside to board your RIB. Hold tight as your boat speeds away from shore and bumps over the open waters to a well-known local whale watching area.
Cruise around in search of the whales and keep watch for these mighty marine mammals. Encounters are fairly common as your RIB is able to get closer up the wildlife than the larger whale watching boats. Throughout your cruise, your RIB skipper takes care not to scare or disturb the marine life.
Keep your camera poised to take photos whenever the whales appear, and with luck, catch sight of humpbacks, killers, pilots and even elusive fin whales. Watch for other marine life, too. Scan the seas for harbor porpoises and seals, and see birds such as white-tailed eagles, shags, Arctic skuas and common guillemots as they fly over the fjords and icy waters.
After around three hours at sea, dock at the harbor and return to Tromsø Harbor where your tour ends.
