Whales safari on a traditional boat

Come with us in search of these magnificent cetaceans!

From late October to January, the fjords around Tromsø become the stage for one of nature’s most spectacular events: the arrival of herring, followed by pods of orcas and humpback whales. These intelligent and powerful animals navigate the narrow fjords to feed, communicate, and interact — and you’ll have a front-row seat.

Our journey begins in Tromsø, from where we drive toward the Skjervøy area, Kåfjord, and the Lyngen Alps. After a few hours of driving we board a charming Norwegian wooden boat and sail off in search of majestic whales.

With FRAMTours, this isn’t just a tour; it’s an authentic expedition into the soul of Northern Norway. This sailing experience is crafted for those who seek the quiet power of nature, the thrill of real exploration, and the rare joy of witnessing something few people on Earth ever see.

This tour is made in cooperation with Nunataak Sail Company. Please note that the duration of this tour depends on the whales location and can last between 1,5 and 3,5 hrs.
