Whale watching adventure from Tromsø

From November to January, the fjords north of Tromsø come alive with orcas, humpback whales and fin whales as they gather for their yearly feast on Atlantic herring. Experience a personal and hassle-free whale safari, where you can witness these ocean giants in their natural environment, while taking in the raw, untamed beauty of Northern Norway.

Come share a day with us, the whales, and the beauty of Northern Norway!

At Njord Adventures, we offer our guests an unforgettable opportunity to observe marine life in its natural habitat while sharing insights into its behaviour and biology. We are committed to delivering a safe, educational and inspirational day out at sea, while giving wildlife the respect and space they deserve and require. 

As a small, privately-owned business, our goal is to provide our guests with an experience that feels both professional and personal. Small group sizes, friendly and experienced crew, and respect for wildlife are all things you can expect from us.

    The guide and skipper are so friendly and nice! And they do have lots of respect for the whales. They let them approach instead of chasing, like other companies sadly do sometimes. Thank you for the awesome days at Skervoy... READ MORE
