Full description
Embark on a boat tour through the waters of Tromso and Skjervoy and watch for whales and wildlife as you gaze at the beautiful landscapes of Norway. Spot different animals, in particular, the Orca, and learn the history from your guide. Begin the tour at 8 AM and be the first boat into the whale-watching area from Tromso. Take your time admiring the majestic Orca whales in complete silence for the ultimate chance to hear their charming calls. While on board, delight in food and snacks, and sip on a hot drink. Look out over the landscape and hear the crew's stories and information about the whales, and other wildlife such as seagulls, the white-tailed eagle, guillemots, wider ducks, and cormorants. Discover the coast of Tromso and SKjerboy, widely considered among the best areas in the region for spotting whales. Be on the lookout for the inquisitive humpback and killer whales swimming and feeding on herring. Frame all the action through the lens of your camera. With outdoor decking and indoor seating on board the heated boat, you can enjoy an up-close experience with Norway’s native wildlife.

The experience was fantastic! The crew were very formerly and knowledgeable. We saw loads of Orcas and Humpback whales. Cookies and hot drinks were available all along the way. We also spotted very strong northern light on our way back. Highly recommend!

wonderful excursion! we were lucky due to the weather to find ourselves on the gabriele boat because the sea was very rough and it was a wonderful surprise the comfort was at the top and we were able to see orcas and a few whales, the landscapes during the excursion were to die for, the colors, the light...etc everything was top notch. Thank you to the organizers for arranging this trip.

Definitely recommend this smaller boat than the big one. The captain and the crews are excellent. We were able to see quite a few humpback whales, fin whales and many orcas. We were very close to the whales. The journey was long, 3 hours each way, but worth every penny. Continuous supply of hot drinks and biscuits, then on the return journey, they serve hot soup and bread. Highly recommended.
