Orcas🐼 The fjords north of Tromsø area are undoubtedly THE best place on earth to observe orcas in their natural habitat, while hunting for herring in the north of Norway! To be eye to eye with these 4 ton giants is an experience that many see as a highlight in their life!
Humpback Whales 🐋 Although often perceived as the Orca Kingdom, there are other predators who also want a piece of the pie! Over the past few years, humpback whales have been spotted regularly joining the orca during the herring feeding frenzies.
Land Based 🏨 Most orca experiences in Norway are hosted by liveaboards, which means guests stay on the water the whole week. This trip is land-based, meaning that at night we sleep at Hotell Maritim Skjervøy right at the harbour, walk down to the boat in the morning and are back at the hotel at the end of the day for a freezing night walk!
The Arctic Circle delivers one of the ocean’s great wildlife spectacles, particularly in the fjords of northern Norway. Each autumn, massive herring migrations draw orcas and humpback whales in from the open sea, turning sheltered inlets into extraordinary feeding grounds.
Orcas hunt in coordinated family pods, herding herring into tight bait balls before stunning them with powerful tail slaps. Humpbacks lunge through the same schools with their mouths wide open, swallowing thousands of fish in a single surge.
With snow-capped fjords as a backdrop and the northern lights a real possibility overhead, it is one of the most compelling wildlife experiences on the planet.

Hotell Maritim Skjervøy sits right on the harbour of Skjervøy, the small fishing island north of Tromsø that has become the winter capital of Norwegian orca watching. The hotel has 35 rooms, all with private bathroom, TV and WiFi, several of them with views over the harbour. The restaurant and café look out over the water and serve breakfast, the dish of the day and à la carte, and the bar is the place to debrief the day in the evening.
For this trip the location is everything. The Ocean X is moored in the harbour a short walk from the hotel, so mornings mean suit up, grab your camera bag and walk down to the boat. In the afternoons you are back before the polar sunset around 15:00, then a hot shower, a warm meal and the aurora dancing over the fjord if the sky cooperates. Simple, comfortable and exactly what a week chasing orcas in the Arctic asks for.
