What to expect

Head out into the ocean on a RIB speedboat and go on a discovery of some some very special nordic wildlife. In this tour you will go searching for whales and puffins.

A speedboat gives you the ability to cover a bigger area as you go in search of these gentle giants. While you can spot some whales without leaving the bay, finding bigger ones requires you to travel a bit further out. A RIB boat is faster than the wind, which makes it more likely for you to reach the big whales.

The tour also includes a visit to Puffin Island. Here you can experience thousands of puffins, also known as "Clowns of the Ocean", during their nesting period (April 15th – August 20th).

Seeing whales is highly dependent on nature and as such no guarantees can be made regarding animal encounters, however this tour increases your chances to see some of the world's biggest animals.

The minimum age to take part in this tour is 8 years, and minimum 130 cm in height
Please note: the tour on RIB speedboats is not allowed for passengers with heart or back problems, or pregnant women
It is highly recommended that passengers bring their own warm and waterproof clothes, footwear and protective bags for cameras, as it can be cold and wet out at sea
For safety and comfort, the tour operator reserves the right to change schedules, even with short notice, should the weather or other conditions change
