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.
