Humpback whales can grow up to 16 meters long and are known for their fantastic "break" when they burst straight out of the water. Black and white killer whales travel in large groups in search of herring. If we're lucky, we'll also see porpoises, and we'll get to experience a number of wild arctic birds.
Tromsø is located north of the Arctic Circle, and although it is dark in the period 27 November to 15 January, there are still hours of magical blue twilight for parts of the day. The boat trip from Tromsø through the fantastic fjord landscape is magical.
MS Gabriele is a perfect boat to experience whale watching. The boat is large and spacious, with plenty of space both outside and inside. The boat is stable even in rough seas, and it is the fastest of all the providers so that we quickly reach the whales.
The boat is warm and cozy, but you should wear clothing to be out on deck.
MS Gabriele is adapted for the disabled, with a large toilet and two window seats for wheelchair users.
