Snorkeling with Orcas & Humpback Whales
Join us on a unique whale watching expedition, where you can see hundreds of orcas and humpback whales up close in their natural habitat. During the winter months in northern Norway, we observe the animals’ feeding and hunting behaviour in a responsible manner while snorkeling.
Duration: 7 days
Starts: Tromsø, Norway
Ends: Tromsø, Norway
Language: English Speaking Voyage
During five full days, our expedition takes you into the majestic fjords of Northern Norway, in search of pods of orcas and humpback whales. Our two Expert Guides will share their knowledge and teach you how to watch for whales. When the weather conditions and the whales allow, you will get a chance to go into the water for a look into their world. On board, we provide specially designed Waterproof® snorkeling drysuits and snorkeling equipment. Snorkeling is ofcourse not mandatory. Whale watching from the ship, and up-close in the zodiac, is equally fascinating!
The combination of wildlife encounters, the beautiful scenery of the Norwegian fjords and the amazing Northern Lights, makes our ‘Winter Whales of Norway’ expedition a one of a kind experience. From many years of experience, we know the best time of the year for spectacular wildlife encounters is from the end of October to mid-January, when the balance between light and presence of the whales is at it’s best.
Highlights of our expedition
• Responsible whale watching
• Snorkeling package included
• Small groups
• Luxury expedition ships
• Experienced wildlife guides
The success of our Winter Whales of Norway Expeditions very much depends on the whales and weather conditions. Two things which are beyond our control. Our itineraries are flexible and will be altered according to weather, wildlife behaviour, daylight, and other elements which may vary from day to day. We count on your realistic expectations and personal flexibility.
