This experience, in a nutshell

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

Per me è stata un'esperienza entusiasmante! Non avevo mai navigato prima e già penso ad imbarcarmi di nuovo. Tutto mi è piaciuto in questo viaggio, le persone affidabili, accoglienti, colte e allegre che ho incontrato, la goletta aurica da sogno, la meraviglia infinita del mare e delle isole Pontine. Anche le stenelle che più volte abbiamo avvistato!! Ringrazio davvero di cuore Silvia, Francesco e Alejandro e spero non mancherà un'altra occasione per navigare insieme.

Esperienza veramente BELLISSIMA, nonostante i pochi avvistamenti, ma in quanto tali son stati assaporati al massimo! Tutto é fluito alla perfezione, dentro e fuori la barca, nonostante momenti di pioggia e mare mosso. Oltre ai compagni di spedizione con cui si é creato subito un clima di armonia e cooperazione, un GRAZIE speciale a Joelle - la NS ricercatrice Whale Whatcher WWF - e a Nicola - il NS skipper - nn solo per la loro professionalità e attenzione ad ogni NS esigenza, ma soprattutto per la loro passione per il mare e i suoi abitanti che hanno condiviso con noi e ci hanno trasmesso. Lo considero un assaggio di altre esperienze future.

La guida whale watcher Joelle è molto competente, super entusiasta (ragazziiiiiiiii, stenelleeeeeeeeeee!!!) e sempre attenta alle esigenze del gruppo. Con il suo sorriso (tanto più smagliante quanto più numerosi sono gli avvistamenti!) contribuisce a creare un clima allegro e spensierato tra i membri dell'equipaggio. Lo skipper Nicola ci ha illustrato con grande chiarezza alcuni principi base dell'andare a vela e ci ha portato con grande competenza, equilibrio e simpatia, sintonizzandosi perfettamente con tutti i componenti del gruppo (ok, con gli ingegneri informatici particolarmente). Abbiamo avvistato due gruppi di stenelle e qualche tonno salterino. Consiglio molto questa esperienza, io continuerò a iscrivermi finche non vedrò una balena!!!
