Whale Watching
Join an unforgettable whale-watching voyage in Northern Norway!
From late October, the fjords of Northern Norway turn into a fascinating natural spectacle. Vast schools of herring, stretching for kilometres, attract orcas and majestic humpback whales.
Experiences awaiting you
- Observe orcas and humpback whales from the comfort of the Nonoah’s deck — a front-row seat to nature at its finest.
- Guided snorkelling with a local dive centre — full equipment included and a professional dive master by your side.
- The possibility to anchor deep inside fjords, far from civilisation, and watch the Northern Lights from the comfort of the cosy saloon.
- Listening to whale communication through a sensitive scientific hydrophone — broadcast directly through the saloon speakers.
- Adventures and excursions in the heart of the Arctic.

Trip plan
We will tailor the itinerary to the current whale activity — and, upon request, to your wishes.
One of Nonoah’s greatest advantages is her independence from shore facilities — we anchor right where the whales are. In recent years, herring shoals have shifted as far as Alta, which means multi-day circular voyages starting and ending in Skjervøy are possible.
For snorkelling, you can choose between two options:
- Choose a voyage where a certified rescue diver is on board — giving you the opportunity to snorkel directly from Nonoah.
- Reserve a day for snorkelling with local operators (Lofoten Opplevelser a.s. or Whale2sea), who offer 3–4 hour trips on fast RIB boats. Advance booking required.

By car: You can turn the journey into a road trip and drive from the Czech Republic to northern Norway. With non-stop driving, the trip can be completed in around 40 hours.
