A 7 days and 6 nights trip to Arctic Norway to closely observe the imposing and fascinating orcas in their natural habitat. The exits will take place on board of inflatable boats (RIB = Rigid Inflatable Boats); this approach allows for excellent quality of sightings, and considerable flexibility.

The Northern Lights are also a constant in our excursions, beyond 69 ° N, in the center of the “oval” of the northern lights. Do not miss the short hiking tours thanks to which you can observe mammals and birds elsewhere very "difficult" to meet (otter, sea eagle, king of eiders etc.) . The atmosphere is very relaxed and it will be pleasant to spend some time in the heat of the Brygga to converse with researchers and enthusiasts.

WHAT YOU CAN'T MISS OUT?

- The Orca up close - the largest, fastest, most intelligent predator of the seas
- Pilot whales, humpback whales, fin whales and sperm whales - the other protagonists
- The Northern Lights - above 69 ° N, in the center of the “oval” of the northern lights
- The sea eagle and the Nordic birdlife
- A trip to the mainland - the European moose and the world of reindeer (optional)
- The unspoiled landscapes of Arctic Norway
