Whale safari with Puffins and Muffins (Andøy, Vesterålen)

About this activity

Andøya is Norway's hidden spot for fantastic wildlife.

Join our summer whale/wildlife RIB-boat excursion to explore the canyon of Bleik and its surroundings.

The canyon is home to abundant marine wildlife, including the magnificent sperm whales. You will also have a chance to encounter other marine mammals, such as pilot whales, orcas, minke, and occasionally Risso's dolphins and fin whales.

All these animals frequent the area in search for food (different fish species), which also attract extraordinary bird and other wildlife.

In searching for whales, we will most likely encounter different birds (puffins, eagles, gannets, etc.) while we keep our eyes open for Harbor seals.

Join our 3,5 hours RIB boat excursion with a maximum of 12 guests to explore the wonders of Bleik Canyon.

During the tour, your guide will be onboard to give you information about all the wildlife we encounter, and take photos (as memories) to take them home with you after the trip.
