From October to January, you have the rare opportunity to get up close with the true giants of the sea in the breathtaking surroundings of Jøkelfjord. Each autumn and winter, orcas, fin whales, and humpback whales follow the migrating herring north, gathering in the fjords to feed.

Witnessing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is nothing short of magical. Imagine standing on deck as an orca surfaces beside the boat, or watching a humpback whale lift its powerful tail above the Arctic waters. The dramatic winter light, snow-covered mountains, and crisp northern air create a setting you will never forget.

The exact timing of the whales’ arrival and departure varies from year to year, as it follows the natural rhythm of the herring migration. Your local captain will always choose the best route based on current conditions to give you the greatest chance of remarkable sightings.

This private tour lasts for up to 3 hours and offers an intimate and respectful wildlife experience. Onboard, you will be served snacks and refreshments while your experienced Captaint guides you safely through the fjord, sharing knowledge about the whales and the unique Arctic ecosystem.
