RIB Fjord & Whale Adventure
Feel the thrill of whale watching from an action-packed RIB boat
Feel the raw power of Arctic waters beneath you as your RIB boat cuts through fjord swells, bringing you eye-level with humpback whales and orcas in their winter hunting grounds. This isn't just whale watching – it's an adrenaline-fueled encounter where you're part of the marine environment.
Experience the thrill as your expert captain navigates between towering mountains reflected in crystal-clear waters, chasing whale spouts on the horizon. When engines cut to silence near these magnificent creatures, you're so close to the water that whale breaths create mist you can feel. The low-profile RIB puts you in their world – hearing every splash, feeling every movement.
Your small group of maximum 12 adventurers shares the excitement of spotting dorsal fins breaking the surface just meters away. These curious giants often approach, creating heart-pounding moments of connection that few ever experience. Return to harbor with wind-stung cheeks, racing pulse, and memories of true Arctic encounters where you became part of the whale's natural environment.
We will keep a safe distance and turn off our boat engines to minimize the disturbance to the whales. The whales are just as curious about visitors as we are about them, so they will most likely come and swim around our boat.
Please note that while we try our best, we can not guarantee that we will actually see whales on the trip. The season start and end date can be adjusted according to whale migration patterns.
