Highlights
Set out on a remarkable marine adventure with the Silent Whale Watching Tour, a uniquely eco-conscious experience that brings you up close to humpback whales and orcas in their natural Arctic habitat—without disturbing their environment.
Board a specially designed vessel powered by a silent hybrid-electric engine, allowing you to glide almost noiselessly through the icy waters. This quiet propulsion system minimizes disruption to marine life, offering a more respectful and intimate whale-watching experience.
As you sail through the pristine fjords, keep your eyes peeled for graceful orcas slicing through the water and humpbacks breaching against dramatic backdrops of snow-capped mountains.

This tour is more than just sightseeing—it's a tranquil encounter with the wild, allowing you to witness nature’s giants in near silence and appreciate their world on their terms. Ideal for wildlife lovers and eco-minded travelers, the Silent Whale Watching Tour offers a powerful and moving experience that balances breathtaking observation with environmental respect.
