Whale Watching in Nordreisa

Welcome aboard a RIB boat whale safari in the beautiful Reisafjord, where you’ll experience an unforgettable day surrounded by spectacular nature! During this tour, it’s possible for us to get very close to whales. Both orcas and humpback whales are known to travel the seas in northern Norway.

Whale Species

Orcas, popularly (but wrongfully) known as Killer whales, are social herd animals who often stay together in the same groups for several generations. They have a black body and a large white spot behind the eye. Killer whales, which are the largest in the dolphin family, communicate by whistling and making pulsating sounds, which humans can also hear.

Humpback whales may be spotted alone, or as a small flock. They are big and powerful, with black on the upper side of their bodies and a clear hump on their backs. The humpback whale is acrobatic and known for its spectacular jumps above the sea surface! If you listen carefully, you can hear the humpback’s very special whale song. Humpback whales have a large tail fin that they show off when diving. The tail fin is unique to each individual.
