Summer Whale and Marine Life Boat Safari from Stø in Vesterålen

This amazing summer whale and marine life boat safari from Stø begins in a village located in the Vesterålen archipelago in Northern Norway. Vesterålen is situated to the north of the Lofoten Islands and is known for its picturesque landscapes, fishing communities, and outdoor activities. The Lofoten islands are located above the Arctic Circle and offer a mix of mountains, fjords, and coastal scenery.

The safari begins at the Arctic Whale Tours headquarters at Stø, in Vesterålen. The crew will welcome you on board the ship, and you will get comfortable inside the cosy ship or out on the deck. The captain will then set sail into the vast Norwegian Sea. On this excursion, you will head to the canyon of Bleik in search of sperm whales - the highlight of the safari! On the way, you may encounter a number of other cetaceans, including pilot whales, minke whales, orcas, humpbacks, harbour porpoises and Atlantic white-sided dolphins.

As the marine mammals wander to different areas every day and migrate at different times, each safari will spot different animals, making each one of these whale and marine life boat safaris from Stø in Vesterålen an exciting new venture into the waters. The informed crew will give you plenty of information about the wildlife of the Norwegian coast as you navigate through the beautiful landscape. On the way, a light hot fish or vegetarian soup will be served aboard the boat, made from locally cultivated ingredients. Hot drinks (tea, coffee or hot chocolate) and biscuits will also be distributed to keep you warm and replenished.

On the way back to Stø, the boat will make a stop in front of the island of Anda, which is home to thousands of seabirds. Most notable of these are the puffin colonies. Get your binoculars out to observe 3000 of these North Atlantic seabirds in their natural habitat, nesting in the cliffs! Other birds you may spot include white-tailed eagles, cormorants, kittiwakes, razorbills, and many more. Beneath them, you might spot some of the resident seals on the rocks as well.
