We are sure you must have heard of African safaris where the tourists are taken in Jeeps to the nearest Savanna forest and shown a pack of big cats and other animals in their natural habitats.

However, safaris can be arranged not only in Africa but even as far away as Norway? Whale safari as a tourist niche is catching up fast in Norway, with several thousands of tourists wanting to spend money to spend some time with the whales.

Tromso is a serene and beautiful Scandinavian fishing town located in Northern Norway. The town is famous for its Arctic Cathedral, Elk rides and the aurora lights seen during the winters, alongside the whale safaris.

What Exactly Does A Whale Safari Looks Like?

To rephrase the question, one can ask what exactly is done on a whale safari in Tromso? To begin with, boats are arranged for tourists for whale-watching. These boats then set sail for the local waters near Tromso. While enjoying the serene and timeless natural beauty of northern Scandinavia, you can witness one of the most magnificent species on Earth swim across the waters in packs and sometimes, displaying a varied range of behaviours. The whales might even interact with you through gestures like splashing their tails or making groaning like sounds. If you are lucky, you may get a chance to see the infamous orca whale also known as killer whale. A whale safari is typically packed with thrill and excitement.

Is The Whale Liveaboard Activity Safe?

Without a speck of doubt, it is. The whale live aboard activity is carried out by experienced professionals such as former sailors and fishermen who are well-acquainted with the local waters like the back of their hand. They know where to find the whales so that you can be sure that your time is not wasted looking at empty waters.
