Whale & Arctic Wildlife Safari with catamaran in Tromso

By The Arctic Resort Company AS

Whale & Arctic Wildlife Safari with catamaran in Tromso

Join a winter wildlife safari through the fjords of Northern Norway aboard a fast, modern catamaran. Departing from Tromsø, this full-day excursion offers a chance to observe Humpback and Fin whales, Orcas, and other Arctic wildlife that gather in the region between October and January to feed on migrating herring.

As you travel toward the feeding grounds, enjoy breathtaking views of the Lyngen Alps from the indoor lounge or open-air decks. Two different vessels operate the route — the spacious MS Rygerdronningen and the faster MS Rygertroll — both equipped with panoramic windows, kiosks, restrooms, and free WiFi.

The onboard guide shares fascinating insights into the marine life and local culture, and if whales are not sighted, guests are invited to rebook the tour free of charge (subject to availability). The tour is conducted in accordance with strict environmental guidelines to ensure sustainable wildlife viewing.

Highlights

  • Spot Orcas, Humpback whales, and Arctic seabirds in their natural habitat
  • Cruise through scenic Arctic fjords with views of the Lyngen Alps
  • Travel comfortably on environmentally friendly catamarans with indoor and outdoor seating
