Join us for an unforgettable Polar Whale Safari in Tromsø, available from late October to end of January. Get up close with curious humpback and killer whales in their natural habitat and immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of the Arctic.

Your experienced guides will pick you up from Tromsø city center and take you on a scenic boat trip to Skjervøy, where the adventure begins. Along the way, you may also spot other incredible wildlife, including sea eagles and a variety of birds.

Whale Safari in Tromsø’s Majestic Waters

Whales are naturally curious and often approach the boat to see what’s going on. Our guides know exactly what to look for, ensuring you’ll have the best views and photo opportunities.

We set off early at 8:00 AM to be the first boat on the water, giving you more time with the whales than the other boats around. And don’t worry about the cold—we provide insulated suits and hot drinks to keep you comfortable and warm throughout the tour.

This is the perfect chance to explore Tromsø’s beautiful nature while experiencing the excitement of a Polar Whale Safari. Book now with Polar Adventures and get ready for an unforgettable Arctic experience.

Amazing cruise even though the weather was not great the tour operator did everything to help make the trip fun. Saw various birds and even managed to catch a fish. Food was also great and plentiful, even catered for food allergies.

It was a really really good experience, very well organized and father and son were a really good crew. We had done to the wale safari too which was also a good trip, Thomas is a really nice and friendly guy. We can only say we will do it again if we stay in tromsø.

Amazing trip. The guides were fun, friendly and helpful. They shared stories about them and interesting information about the area. The captain was great at getting close to the whales, we got there before everyone else each time.
