The trips are arranged to allow both boat based viewing and a strictly supervised swimming encounters for the braver, meaning there is something to suit everyone.

With very little light pollution, Norway is the perfect viewing platform for the Northern lights making your Orca experience even more special. The swimming trips are done with snorkels so you do not need any scuba diving experience.

Usually the boat trips are arranged for a maximum of eight people making your experience very personal and meaning you get the time to ask the questions you want and the one on one time with instructors.
