Please note that the duration of this trip depends on the whales’ location it takes about 3-3.5 hours to get to the whales and can therefore range from 8-9 hours. Please dress warm, bring your wool layers, as its cold when you step outside the boat

Midnight excursion to Beautiful Hella 22:00

It is ten at night and there is still lots of daylight! We pick you up at Radisson Blu hotel, take you to our office, and give you navigation suits, life jackets, and mittens. Then we go onboard our RIB-boat and after only thirty minutes, you realize that you are far away from the city surrounded only by nature, mountains, fjords, and light, very special evening light only seen above the arctic circle! In our approach to beautiful Hella, we will navigate along the Ry tidal current. This current attracts fish, and fish attract birds, so we will see and hear lots of nature while docking. We will then walk five minutes to a small boat house where we will serve coffee/tea & muffins while enjoying beautiful views of fjords, mountains and birds. From here, we will observe the strength of the current we just navigated. All this from 11 to 12 at night! Finally, we start our short hike back to the boat, and our navigation back to Tromso. Please note that this is NOT sea rafting.
