Whales and Northern Lights:

The most common species are orcas (killer whales) and humpback whales, though sightings can vary depending on migration patterns and weather conditions.

Both are natural phenomena, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, tours are planned to maximize your chances, and guides use their expertise to find the best locations and conditions.

Warm, layered clothing is essential. Thermal underwear, waterproof outer layers, gloves, hats, and insulated boots are highly recommended, as Arctic conditions can be cold and windy, especially at sea.

Most tours are suitable for a wide range of travelers, but conditions at sea can be challenging. If you are prone to seasickness or have mobility concerns, it’s best to check with the operator in advance.
