Search for orcas, humpbacks, and fin whales from a fast RIB boat off Skjervøy, with Arctic gear and Tromsø transport included.

“We had such a great trip with Ivar and his entire crew in Skjervøy. They were very helpful, provided great information about the location, nature and the whales. We got to see so many whales, including humpbacks and entire orca families. The provided clothes kept us warm throughout the entire trip. We would highly recommend this tour since it’s entirely managed and fulfilled by locals. The boat was nice and fast, not too crowded and the captain always kept a safe distance to the whales to not disturb them.”

“In short: highly recommended! I’ve been to Tromsø whale watching 10 years ago and back then I had to say it can’t get better than this. Now the herring has moved further north east and with it the whales and the tourists. This year I wanted to give this experiance to my young daughters and I’ve booked a tour with Viktor.
