The tour departs in the morning by boat from the charming village of Andenes, situated in the northernmost part of Norway’s stunning Andøya Island.

Once in the ocean, lucky guests can swim alongside these awe-inspiring creatures for an experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression. The excursion typically wraps up around mid-day, leaving guests with memories to last a lifetime.
