Overview

Experience whale watching as a true Arctic expedition. Departing from the small fishing village of Stø, this full-day safari takes you directly to deep offshore waters near Bleik Canyon, one of Norway’s most active whale areas.

Combine whales and seabirds watching in one journey. In addition to spotting species such as sperm whales, orcas, and pilot whales, the return route passes by Anda Island—home to puffins, sea eagles, and thousands of seabirds during summer.

Unlike shorter or high-speed tours, this experience focuses on time, comfort, and immersion. The spacious vessel offers both indoor seating and open decks, allowing you to enjoy the Arctic environment at your own pace. Hot soup, coffee, and biscuits are served onboard, making it a relaxed and enjoyable day at sea.

Guided by experienced local crew, you’ll gain real insight into whale behaviour, the marine ecosystem, and life along the Arctic coast—turning the tour into both a wildlife encounter and an educational experience.
