Silent whale watching tour by boat

4.7/5
4 reviews

Admire the wonderful humpback and killer whales feeding in the arctic fjords during this silent cruise.

You will leave Tromsø early morning to make the most of the short hours of sunlight and head towards the feeding spots of the whales. When the polar lights rise you can look out of the panoramic windows of the lounges or head to one of the multi-level decks to admire the breathtaking landscapes of a frozen world around you.

This tour uses a silent hybrid-electric boat to get to the feeding grounds of the whales. Once a whale is spotted, the captain switches the engine to a silent hybrid-electric mode to minimise disturbance to the animals and their environment.

    Wir mussten aufgrund des Wetters bevor wir Wale sehen konnten wieder zurück. Es wurde angeboten das Geld zurück zu bekommen oder umzubuchen. Wir haben einen anderen Tag ausgewählt. Hat alles super geklappt. Der Service ist super und alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und leidenschaftlich bei der Sache. Wir haben bei der zweiten Fahrt Orcas und Buckelwale gesehen. Absolut traumhaftes Erlebnis. Die Wale werden respektiert und es wird Abstand gehalten. Super!
