Andenes
Experience the wonderful whales off the island Andøya in Vesterålen, with Whale2Sea & Whalesafari Andenes, in our large, traditional boat MS Reine.
About the tour
Our whale watching tours normally last between 3-4 hours thanks to the short distance from the harbor to the whale field. We are one of few companies worldwide that combine whale watching and research on whales. The guides are mostly biologists or students in the subject and take good care of our guests on board.
While at sea, you can rely on our crew’s knowledge and experience in searching for the whales. Our boats are fully equipped and adapted as whale-watching vessels. Our guides speak several languages and during the trip they will give you a good insight into the whales that we see. The largest mammals to be seen off Andøya is the Sperm whale. In addition, we can see whales such as the orcas, fin whales, pilot whales and more. If no whales are observed during our trip, you can get a new free ticket on the next available departure or the next time you visit Vesterålen.
ATTENTION: Whale watching trips are weather-dependent (they can be cancelled in case of strong wind/high waves at sea or thick fog). We therefore recommend setting aside a couple of days in the area, if possible.
Whale center
We have a new whale exhibition. With four themes divided between four rooms, you can learn about whale biology, marine ecology and our ongoing research on these amazing animals. You can experience the exhibition on your own or book a guided tour. Every evening in the summer season we also have lectures at The Whale Center about our whales and the ongoing research. Lecture and self-guided tour in the exhibition are free for our guests that have been on one of our tours. In addition to the exhibition and lecture, the Whale Center has a shop with exclusive souvenirs and a café.
