We are proud of been chosen to participate in the First Mile project which is working towards making tourism more sustainable.
Our contribution is to work for a greener travel for our guests both while they are in our destination but also travel to and from Andenes.
We offer whale watching all year. From Andenes we only go out with the RIB boats during wintertime. From November to January we also offer whale watching with RIB and the large boat from Skjervøy in Troms. NB: Skjervøy is further north, and close to Tromsø! In Skjervøy we also offer snorkelling with the whales. You find our winter-activities if you click on the trips Andenes or trips skjervøy in the top menu.
Other winter-activities in Andenes:
- Arctic winter wildlife is a trip closer to shore, where you can observe the beautiful White-tailed eagle, seals and if we are lucky - several whales.
- On-land activities are a nature & culture walk in the harbour. In the evenings we offer a nature walk with the chance of seeing the Aurora!
