Product Info

From October to January, the herring migration draws an abundance of majestic whale species to the fjords of Skjervøy — and you can be right there with them.

Joining a RIB boat is a unique adventure that combines the thrill of close wildlife encounters with the serene beauty of Norway's fjords. This is an incredible experience to grab an unforgettable glimpse into the natural wonders of the Arctic.

You can choose between two options:
-With transfer from Tromsø.
-Without transfer, meeting directly in Skjervøy.

Please carefully choose the option suitable to your plans. Skjervøy is approximately 160km from Tromsø and a 4 hour drive.

If you start from Tromsø, your journey begins early with a scenic 4-hour bus to the island of Skjervøy. Once there, you’ll spend around three exhilarating hours at sea, braving the Arctic elements in search of whales. After the safari, you’ll warm up on shore with hot drinks and snacks before settling in for the comfortable return drive, arriving back in Tromsø by early evening.

If you have your own transport or are staying in Skjervøy, simply meet us at the harbor for the same tour but without the transport.

Your experienced skipper will suit you up in the necessary safety equipment before whisking you away on an open RIB boat to speed through the stunning fjords of Northern Norway, spotting wildlife and capturing unforgettable moments.
Back on shore, warm your hands around a hot drink and snacks, then settle in for the comfortable return to Tromsø.
