Whales- birds and wildlife tour - Explore 70 Degrees

If you are looking for a wildlife activity, outside of the whale season, this will be your choice! 

Join us cruising the fjords in our safe and steady Rib, in search for whales, mammals and birds of our region. This is a unique chance of witness the huge variety of wildlife of Arctic Norway. Is all dynamic and the presence of the species varies during the year.

In the end of January, after the winter whales ends their feeding party in the fjords around Skjervøy, we still time to time see whales/ cetaceans being presence around; such as sperm whales and humpback whales. Dolphins like white beaked dolphins and harbor porpoises are residents in our areas all year round. Together with the cute marine mammals seals and otters.

Even moose and reindeer on land are common to see when we approach closer to shore. 

We are also pleased to often bump into the amazing diversity of birdlife of the region. The eagles and cormorants are majestic in their size and wing - movement. Other fascinating seabirds as puffins, guillemots, razorbill, little auks, eider ducks, long taled ducks, arctic terns are to mention some.

As a nature based activity provider with local anchoring in Skjervøy - Arctic Norway, we find story telling important to us. To introduce you to the landscape affected by countless generations of Sami and Norwegian people, and other aspects of history, is something we would be pleased to bring on the table for you.

Our local guide will make sure this activity at sea is high in quality and safe, for you to feel taken care of and catered to. We look forward to being your host!
