Arctic Explorers Presents: Whale Watching RIB Experience – The Ultimate Arctic Adventure from Tromsø to Skjervøy.
General information
“Epic Whale Watching Trip. We had an amazing time with Arctic Explorers. We were rewarded with humpback whale sightings just 3 minutes off the pier! ... It was a perfect experience. If you want to see whales, this trip is for you (providing nature cooperates). We saw over 200 whales on our trip—yes, two hundred. It was amazing!”
- Mcberra, November 2015
“Mind-Boggling Experience – Whale Watching!! ... Astonishing reflections, terrific colors in the sky, and most importantly—the Whales. We saw so many whales from both close and afar, jumping and diving. It’s an unbelievable sight. We loved it and highly recommend this if you are in Tromso!!”

Stay Informed - Weather Alerts: Mother Nature can sometimes play spoilsport. On occasions when inclement weather forces us to cancel the expedition, we'll promptly notify you via email.
Hence, it's crucial to check your email inbox before bedtime and immediately upon waking up. When unfavorable conditions lead to a tour change and two boats with 24 guests in total want to reschedule, it's often those who respond first that secure any available spots. The rest will receive a full refund.
Don't be among those who check their emails too late and miss out on potential rescheduling opportunities; be proactive to ensure the best outcome for your adventure.
