Swim with wild orcas and humpback whales in Norway's Arctic fjords. We time the expedition with the herring migration—when orcas hunt in coordinated pods and the fjords come alive with predator activity.
Small groups, handpicked travelers, and days spent in Arctic waters watching one of the ocean's apex predators at work.
We meet in Tromsø and transfer to Skjervøy, your base for the week. Settle into waterfront cabins, meet the group, and prepare gear. Evening briefing on orca behavior and Arctic water safety.
We push deeper into the fjords where orcas hunt. Witness carousel feeding—orcas working together to stun fish with their tails. Humpback whales often join the hunt.
