With magnificent scenery, plenty of fresh sea air, and incredible wildlife, this experience is sure to leave a lasting impression. Andenes, in Northern Norway, is the prime location for whale watching.

The waters around Andenes are highly productive, attracting a diverse range of both baleen and toothed whales! Among the most common sightings in summer are male sperm whales, which stay here all year round. Spotting a sperm whale is an awe-inspiring experience—this species even inspired Melville's classic Moby Dick. As the largest toothed whale in the world, it can grow up to 20 meters long and weigh 60 tons! Other whale species in the area are equally fascinating. This is a highly dynamic environment, and no two trips are the same.
SEASON: May - September
CAPACITY: 6 RIB boats, each accommodating 12 passengers.
DURATION:
The trip lasts approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the whales' location and the time needed to find them. We aim to maximize the time spent with the whales on every trip.
