SKJERVØY – TROMSØ

From 1 November to 31 January, the Whale Route takes you from Tromsø to your whale watching tour in Skjervøy and back.

The Whale Route – the comfortable way to your whale adventure in the Arctic. Have you booked a whale-watching tour in Skjervøy and are looking for transportation from Tromsø? Travel the Whale Route on board our comfortable bus!

It takes about 4 hours to travel between Tromsø and Skjervøy. The bus departs from Tromsø at 5.30 am and arrives in Skjervøy at around 9.45 am, right on time to go on one of the whale watching tours leaving from Skjervøy harbour. The bus leaves Skjervøy after your tour at 1.30 pm. You will be back in downtown Tromsø at 5.40 pm.

Skjervøy is a lively fishing village about 250 km north of Tromsø that has become one of the most popular destinations for winter whale-watching safaris in Norway.

On your whale-watching tour, you will have the chance to see orcas, humpback whales and sometimes harbour porpoises. Orcas (also known as killer whales) and humpback whales have been migrating to this area every winter for a few years in search of herring.

The best time to observe these majestic marine mammals is from early November to late January.
