Between October and February, whale and dolphin species like the harbour porpoise, humpback whale, killer whale and fin whale migrate to Tromsø’s waters to feast on the large stocks of herring.
So if you’ve ever wanted to see whales in the flesh, Tromsø has emerged as the best destination in northern Europe for marine wildlife expeditions.
A trip with a company like Tromsø Safari will take between 3.5 and 7 hours, depending on how quickly you sight these creatures.
