Summer Whale Safari in Andenes (Andøy, Vesterålen)

$217.40
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Experience authentic whale watching from Andenes; one of Europe’s top locations where deep waters lie just offshore.

Our spacious, stable vessels offer a comfortable journey with heated indoor lounges, large viewing decks, and onboard refreshments. Unlike smaller high-speed boats, you can enjoy the experience at a relaxed pace.

Our expert guides provide engaging insights into whale behaviour and the Arctic ecosystem. On selected departures, we use a hydrophone to help locate whales beneath the surface.

We follow responsible whale watching practices at all times. And if no whales are seen, your Whale Pass allows you to join another tour free of charge.
