The aurora belt · WHALE WATCHING
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 2 whale watching & aurora trips worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend the day looking for minke and humpback whales, dolphins, and harbor porpoises in Faxaflói Bay, then return after dark for a two-hour Northern Lights cruise. Guides such as Rebekka, Lucas, and Daniel have helped make past trips memorable. Warm overalls and heated cabins are provided.
“Brilliant tour, we were lucky enough to see humpback whales”
Leave Tromsø for a 24-hour coastal cruise toward Skjervøya, with a three-course dinner, Northern Lights search, whale watching, breakfast, lunch, lectures, and an overnight cabin. Expect a small ship setting with up to 52 people and a return around 7 PM the next day.

We learnt lots of new things. Cabins are comfy and warm and there’s several food choices at each meal. All you of what we had was lovely. Whilst we didn’t get to see the northern lights due to cloud cover the polar twilight gave impressive scenery and beautiful colours in the sky. We did see loads of humpback whales including several breaches and several pods of killer whales some getting pretty close. An amazing trip and one to remember for…”
