Whale2Sea

Whale2Sea Whalesafari Andenes, tilbyr turister og befolkning opplevelse basert på båtturer med RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) og storbåten MS Reine fra Andenes havn. It was Andøya that gave the world the
term ‘whale safari’ in 1989. Now you can get even closer
to the water and see the fauna and birdlife on the western
side of the island of Andøya as you have never seen
it before. You are invited to c

ome and watch sea eagles
and puffins from aboard a safe and modern RIB boat. If
you’re lucky, you will see coastal seals, harbour porpoises
and small whales leaping in front of the boat. We cannot
promise that you will see a specific species, of course
– this is not a zoo – it is the wild, untamed west coast
of Andøya. We can guarantee one thing, however: you
will never forget this close encounter with nature and the
ocean as long as you live. Once the sun rises above the horizon in the middle of
May, it doesn’t go down again until 25 July here in Andøy. There’s nothing quite like sunny weather and the intense
Midnight Sun glowing just above the horizon. It can be
cloudy of course, but it never gets dark. And the scenery
is an attraction in itself. Explore Andøya on a thrilling
trip through the skerries, with their impressive birdlife
and fauna. We have three daily departures from Andenes
harbour to the western side of Andøya. We call at Otervika,
Rækvika and Høyvika before ending up at Stave. On the return trip, we call at Bleiksøya island, one of the
most famous bird cliffs in Norway. There are 80,000 pairs
of nesting puffins there. Other species include cormorants,
auks and guillemots. And the sea eagles are waiting
for us! En route, our experienced guide tells you about the area. We guarantee an exciting and safe experience! On safari trips, you will be
equipped with a survival suit, but you have to bring
along warm footwear, a hat and gloves yourself. The boat
is well-equipped and undergoes a thorough quality and
certification inspection every year. Our boats can accommodate
12 passengers.
