Snorkelling with Orcas

You can join us in the area of Skjervøy from November until January for snorkeling with orcas and humpback whales. If we are lucky, we can also see Fin whales and Sperm whales. The whales follow the herring, and this time of year is an eldorado here in the north. Watching these fascinating whales at close range underwater is a once in a life time experience. We provide dry-suits and snorkel equipment, but you are also welcome to bring your own.

  • We remind you that due to the given weather conditions at sea, it may sometimes only be possible to do whale watching and not snorkeling. The minimum age to do snorkeling is 14 years old. Before joining our snorkeling trip, you are required to sign a medical waiver demonstrating that you are physically fit and comfortable in the water to take part in the activity.

Experience Wild Nature with Us in Northern Norway!
The wilderness is not a theme park designed to serve our needs. This means we do not control everything, such as the weather or the behaviour of the whales.

DURATION:
This trip duration is about 2-3 hours
