About this activity
SAFE AND QUICK BOAT
We have a 28 feet Polarcirkel Rib boat, with two engines for increased safety. It and is built for Arctic conditions. The boat is brand new, and was built in October 2018. More correctly, it is an rbb-boat, Rigid Buoyancy Boat, which is more solid than a rib boat.
APPROVED BY...
Our Whale Watching Trips are approved by the official Tromso tourist company, Visit Tromso, as well as the official travel company to Norway, Visit Norway.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: Easy
PICK-UP
Pick-up will be around 05:55 am outside Scandic Ishavshotel.
DROP-OFF
Usually around 6 pm, depending on weather conditions and daylight. Can be earlier if whales appear closer to Tromso. Can be later, if difficult driving conditions.
SIZE OF GROUP
Small group up to 12 guests on the boat, which allows more freedom, and gives a more personal experience. More guests from other companies in the bus.
INCLUDED
- Transport to the boat
- Lunch
- Warm drinks
- Warm boots
- Flotation suit (Adults only)
- Hats
- Balaclava
- Ski goggles
NOT INCLUDED
- Accommodation
- Flight
- Tripod for camera
- Pictures from the trip (We found out it was hard for the guide to get good pictures so we skipped it, since the best spots on the boat will be taken by the guests, partly blocking for the guide)
- Warm mittens (Do not wear gloves, since the fingers are separated and get cold.)
- Wool socks (Do not wear cotton socks!)
OUR GUIDES
All our guides have years of experience, expensive certificates, and extensive safety training. These are professional skippers/guides that have the proper boat licenses, knowledge, education, passion, and personality.
ON TEAM WITH THE WHALES – AND THE SCIENCE
We follow all whale watching guidelines set by scientists. Our skippers have participated in a whale watching course, to learn how to guide this trip on team with the whales.
DARK SEASON
There is mostly plenty of daylight in the dark season, although you might be rewarded with northern lights at daytime. Apart from northern lights the unique dark season colors in the sky is also a memorable experience, seen from the water.
HEIGHT: Minimum 140 cm tall.
