This tour is conducted by Brim Explorer. Join on an exciting whale watching tour to Skjervøy, we divide the journey between bus and boat, so that you get to enjoy the arctic landscape both from land and sea!

Depart from Tromsø in the morning on boat or bus to travel to Skjervøy to see the whales. Take in breathtaking views from both the overland and on the water. The coach is comfortable and the our hybrid-electric boat has panoramic lounges with large windows. During the boat trip, our captain will keep an eye out for the whales. When the whales have been spotted we will switch to our electric and silent engine to minimise disturbance to the whales.

Start the day by boat:
We depart Tromsø by boat and travel through the arctic waters to Skjervøy for 2.5 hours. Once we reach Skjervøy, we spend around 1.5 hours searching and observing the whales. Afterwards we will dock in Skjervøy and you will take a stunning bus ride past the Lyngen Alps back to Tromsø.

Start the day by bus:
We depart Tromsø by bus and drive through the backcountry around the fjords and Lyngen Alps to Skjervøy. Once we reach Skjervøy, you will step aboard our hybrid-electric boat and sail outside of Skjervøy to the feeding grounds of the whales where we will search and observe the whales for about 1.5 hours before we sail all the way back to Tromsø.

Please bring warm cloths, including your wool and equivalent. We sail in the arctic waters, and its cold, especially out at sea. Our saloons are heated and comfortable, but its cold outside.

Note: We reserve the right to change the journey to be solely by boat if there are not enough people booked. If this happens, we will spend up to 2 hours with the whales.
