Every winter the orcas come to feed on herring on the Northern Norwegian coast

Whale Safari

From November to February huge numbers of herrings enter the coastline of Northern Norway to spawn, and every winter the whales, especially orcas and humpbacks, come to this area to take part in this massive herring feast. We will enter the RIB to experience this event up close when the weather allows it, and use Quest as a more stable platform on rougher days.
