Overview

Get a unique perspective on the majestic Humpbacks, Fin, Sperm whales and/or Orca's as they feed in the herring-rich fjords of the Arctic. With purpose made hybrid-electric boats for whale watching, we minimise disturbance to nature and whales. Leaving Tromsø in the morning, we head to where the whales are in time to enjoy the short hours of daylight. On the way you can take in the breathtaking views of frozen landscapes in comfortable, panoramic lounges and 2 decks. We use a hybrid engine to reach the whale’s feeding grounds, and as we near the whales, we switch to a silent electric engine that allows us to get closer without disturbing them. Please note that the duration of the trip depends on the whales’ location. It takes up to 3.5 hours to get to the whales and can therefore range from 8-9 hours. Please note that whale sightings are not guaranteed.

Meeting points

Meet 15 minutes before departure at the pier to the side of Skarven Kro Restaurant in Tromsø (Kaigata 6)

A Magical Arctic Adventure: Whale Watching, Northern Lights, and Stunning Fjords in Tromsø

Published on Feb, 2025

An unforgettable experience. On the early morning of the 27th of January we went down to Tromsø harbour and boarded the Brim Explorer expedition, Bee, Lucas, and Ivan were our guides for the day and provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a well pitched level of information throughout. We were well bundled up against the cold (better so than many of those on board) and so we were able to take advantage of the outdoor decks almost continuously throughout the day. The fjord was stunning and I believe that even if we had not seen whales we would likely have been delighted with the trip as we passed the Lingen Alps. We were fortunate enough to see two rather shy hump backed whales, who moved about between us and some other whale watching tours. Then, a little way onwards we saw a lone orca cutting through the waters. At this point (sadly) I felt very seasick and had to sit inside for a little while, but even so my partner and I had a superb view of the orca. The trip back was pleasant and we were even lucky enough to catch sight of the Northern Lights shortly before re-entering Tromsø. On the way back the crew provided a well organised informational lecture on the whales and their differences as well as on the displays of altruism shown by hump backed whales. As far as it could be controlled by human participants the crew were fantastic and I really couldn't applaud them more. If you're in Tromsø and looking for a whale watching tour, this is an excellent one to go for.

Long trip to get to where...

Long trip to get to where the whales were but “whale” worth it! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable

Magical day.

Published on Jan, 2025

Spectacular scenery. Magical experience seeing the Orcas feeding and playing. The crew were fantastic.

Once in a lifetime experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

A great way to see the Norway fjords and see some whales too! We saw orca and humpback whales. The food and drinks were reasonably priced and the crew was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend putting this on your itinerary!

Don’t think just book them! It’ll be worth it

So many Orcas! We went on 24th Jan 2025 and saw many pods of Orcas and 2 humpback whales. I admired the captain’s attempt at maintaining space between the boat and orcas - seems like Brim Explorer is an ethical and eco conscious choice for your whale watching expedition in Norway. Despite this we saw the whales in close quarters and left satisfied with excellent memories and even better photographs! To get the best seats on the boat my advice is to reach 15 mins before Check In and 30 mins before departure. We arrived 20 mins before departure and majority of the window seats were gone. Second piece of advice is to bring your own food or pre-order specially the soup to avoid them running out. Dress warmly as the journey is quite picturesque and it’s likely that you will end up spending the majority of your time outdoors. The crew is friendly and helpful. I loved the small little talks they delivered on the region, the whales etc.. throughout the journey.
