This whale watching tour in Tromsø lasts between seven and nine hours aboard a hybrid-electric boat designed to reduce noise and disturbance to whales. The trip begins in the morning at Tromsø and heads out towards the feeding grounds of humpback, fin, sperm whales, and orcas, which feed on herring in the surrounding fjords. Guests can enjoy views of frozen Arctic landscapes from two decks and panoramic lounges while traveling. The boat uses a hybrid engine to reach the whale areas, switching to a silent electric engine when near the whales to allow closer observation without causing disturbance. Sightings are not guaranteed and the time spent on the water depends on whale locations. The journey to the whales can take up to three and a half hours, and guests may spend one to two hours observing them before returning. Along the route, the boat passes Lyngstuva lighthouse located at the peak of the Lyngen Alps, then arrives at Skjervøy, where whales are often found feeding. On the return trip, the boat sails past the Arctic Cathedral near the Tromsø bridge. The boat is equipped with on-board WiFi, restrooms, a cafe offering food and drinks for purchase, and a live guide provides commentary throughout the cruise.
