Expeditions are 7 days long, from Friday to Friday. The number of boat tours will depend on the weather conditions, but tours are usually conducted daily.
As the night is longer throughout the season, or because of weather conditions, time schedules can vary. But on a good day in November for example, this could be your typical program for one week:
DAY 1 (FRIDAY)
Arrival at Tromsø airport you will go to the ferry station (by taxi 10mn). The fast Liner n3, direction the “North” to Skjervoy, will be leaving at 16:00 0 so don’t be late!
Less than 3 hours of cruising you will swap ferry in Skjervoy on the same quay.
Arrival at Skjervoy the next ferry will be waiting for you on the next quay.
Your final ferry will cruise 30mn North of Kvanaegen Fjord to Seglvik.
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, guests will be required to attend a mandatory safety briefing, which includes important protocols for both boat rides and animal interactions. We emphasize the importance of respecting the wildlife and maintaining safe, non-intrusive behavior to protect both the animals and guests.
Additionally, guests must complete a mandatory dive training session in the harbour. This training will teach proper techniques for being in the water safely and respectfully around the animals. If needed, dive training can be repeated to ensure guests feel confident and capable.
Please Note
Getting in the water in this environment is not for everyone. Valhalla Expedition requires guests to be good swimmers and comfortable in the water. Based on the performance during dive training, Valhalla reserves the right to determine whether a guest is allowed to dive for their safety and the safety of others.
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.
We provide a light lunch onboard; however, the type of meal may vary depending on freezing temperatures and conditions. Our priority is keeping you warm, nourished, and comfortable during your time at sea.
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.
Bar is open at 6.30pm in the Lavvu (Big tent)
