Whale Watching Tour in Skjervøy from Tromsø

Embark on a full-day whale watching tour in Skjervøy on a speedboat, with transfers from Tromsø!

For this activity, you’ll be picked up from Tromsø, the largest city in Northern Norway situated on the island of Tromsøya. The adventure takes place in Skjervøy, a picturesque island located along the Lyngenfjord. The area is known for its rich marine life, including whales, seals, and various seabirds!

The adventure begins at the meeting point in Tromsø, where you’ll be picked up in a comfortable minibus and driven to the starting point in Skjervøy along a scenic route. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the experienced skipper and receive a thermal flotation suit, a life vest, goggles, a hat, and mittens. After getting dressed into your Arctic gear, the whale watching tour begins! You’ll settle into the sturdy rigid inflatable speedboat and prepare to set sail along the scenic fjord.

Between October and January, the migrating herrings arrive in the local waters in Skjervøy. This is the best time of year to spot the Orca and Humpback whales, who feed on the herrings. You’ll travel along the stunning coast, admiring the Arctic beauty. Once you find the whales, you’ll observe these marvellous creatures in their natural habitat, watching them feed on the herring shoals that surround Skjervøy.

After the 3-hour RIB tour, you’ll return to the starting point in Skjervøy. A delicious hot chocolate and baguette snack will be served to warm you up after the excursion. After changing out of your winter gear, you’ll enjoy the scenic return drive to the starting point in Tromsø.
