Description
Join a day trip to Skjervøy to spot Orcas and Whales in their natural habitat. This is the first experience focused on wildlife photography with a comfortable, heated boat and a nature guide onboard.
Set sail on an unforgettable Arctic adventure aboard our brand-new, covered, and heated boat, designed specifically for speed, comfort, and wildlife observation. Unlike small, exposed RIBs, our larger boat offers exceptional stability and protection from the elements, ensuring you enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
Inside, the heated cabin keeps you warm and comfortable, and whenever you wish you can step out onto the spacious observation terrace to feel the Arctic air and watch wildlife up close. We approach orcas, humpback whales, and other marine giants with the utmost respect for their space and habitat, following ethical guidelines to protect the delicate Arctic ecosystem.
At the helm is an experienced captain who regularly navigates the challenging waters of Svalbard, bringing unmatched seamanship and safety. Alongside him, a professional nature guide and ethologist shares deep insights into the lives of these incredible animals, while passionate wildlife photographers on board offer tips to help you capture unforgettable images.
Our tours are designed for true wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. The open deck provides unobstructed angles for your shots, while inside the cabin you can relax with complimentary hot drinks and snacks as the Arctic wilderness unfolds around you. This is more than just whale watching, it’s a premium Arctic safari that combines comfort, expertise, and respect for nature, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the beauty of Skjervøy and its majestic creatures.
