Welcome and lets start your Expedition

DAY 1  (FRIDAY)

Arrival at Tromsø airport you will go to the ferry station (by taxi 10mn). The fast Liner, direction the “North” to Skjervoy, will be leaving at 16:00 0 so don’t be late!

Ferries in Norway are like public bus transportation elsewhere.

Our crew & dogs will be welcoming you and help you get settled in your cabin.

​We will meet in the Lavvu (big tent) have a small dinner and explain you your stay with us.

DAY 2 (Saturday)

Good morning! Finally you can discover your surrounding!

7:30 am: Your day will start with a hearty breakfast taken in common at the “whale house”

You will have a detailed security briefing before your first day at sea, concerning safety, equipment, behavior on the boats, respect of sea environment and animals…

You will also get all your equipment such as thermal overall (Dryrobes) and for those who are thrilled to snorkel all the necessary gear and wet suit. We have some special boots and fishing gloves you can buy from us if you do not have any

When everybody is ready, all set and geared up, let’s meet at the harbor!

Before heading to sea, a dive training will be done in the harbor as this you will be able test your equipment and realize that you are not cold in the water!

We will also give you tips on how to swim in a 10mm wetsuit, not splash the surface with your fins and how to come up on the boat with and without the ladder.

If you don’t manage to swim or else we might not allow you to go in the water for security reasons but we can try again the dive train the next day.

As soon as we leave the harbor everybody is on duty to help spotting blows, fins or seagull gatherings giving us an indication where the whales are.

We will be avoiding the “busy” areas in respect of the whales…

When we spot them, your captain will approach slowly and sideways never from the front or rear. He will judge from their behavior and weather conditions if he allows you to go in the water.

Onboard we will have hot soup so as to keep you warm, a sandwich, cookie or cake and tea.

We will head home when the light goes down or maybe before depending on the weather conditions

After a good warm shower, you will be asked to be responsible to rinse and let dry your equipment.

At the Whale house fresh cake or waffles will be served and you can enjoy your free time by using all the games at your disposal or sauna, jacuzzi..

Before dinner, a conference will be held about orcas and humpback whales prepared by our friends of Norwegian Orca Survey. And of course, every day you can share experiences with our “crew” or fellow guests.
