We had the best Crew in the world. Margot, Vilde, Jules and Gema really made this trip unforgettable and served the best chai in the world. We had a really close encounter with two humpback whales and we saw some orcas in the distance as well. Our boat was very respectful towards the animals and didn't chase after them, like others did. We allowed them to come close to us and since we didn't disturb them, the also stayed close for quite some time. We definitely recommend the tour!

Excellent comfortable boat that despite being full has many viewing platforms both inside and out over three levels. Crew friendly and very knowledgeable about the whales and their environs. Variety of food and drinks available in board. Christmas songs a bonus !!

The tour was cancelled because the boat had technical problems. So this wasn't Headout's fault. What a bummer, yes, but Headout cared quite fast to refund the price. Now, 5 days later refund already on my account. Very good!!!

Set sail from Tromso through icy fjords aboard a hybrid-electric boat, bound for the whale-rich waters of Skjervoy.

The voyage to Skjervoy takes 3 to 3.5 hours offering plenty of time to scan for wildlife, enjoy the scenery, and hear fascinating stories from onboard guides. They’ll share insights into whale behavior, migration patterns, and ongoing conservation efforts.

After your whale-watching session, you’ll cruise back to Tromso with memories of Arctic marine life few get to witness.
