Orca safari

Lofoten Opplevelser offers Orca safaris and Snorkeling with the orcas from Skjervøy in Troms (this is not in the Lofoten!). We host our tour from 20/10/2025 - 18/01/2026 (Hollidays: 22/12 - 26/12 + 01/01/2026).

There is no ice in the fjords and huge schools of Norwegian spring spawning herring are hiding here during winter. The immense herring stock is the reason why the orcas, hump back whales and fin whales are coming here to hunt. Norway has the largest stock of orcas in the world, about 3000 individuals. The safari takes place in big rib boats and gives us a unique opportunity to experience the animals up close.

Meet at our base camp at Industiveien 10 in Skjervøy at 09:00. We will give a lecture about the whales and a security briefing before the safari. We will provide you with wind and water proof floating suits.
