October to mid-January departures The following morning we sail from Svolvær quay to Tysfjord, a long narrow fjord where over 600 Killer Whales come to feed on herring each winter and our guide will introduce us to the lives of these fascinating mammals. Keeping our eyes peeled, eager to sight these impressive creatures, we learn about the family pods and how Orca rely on team-work to hunt the large population of herring that spend the winter here. With luck, we will be able to observe the playful behaviour of the younger members of the pod for ourselves and perhaps even experience their unique hunting methods first hand. We return to Svolvær later this afternoon for another night at your Rorbu and we will have the next day at our disposal before departing and joining the northbound ship. We will spend the night on board and have a leisurely morning before arrival in Tromsø in the early afternoon. Disembark and transfer for overnight stay.

Mid-January to March departures On these departures we include a fishing and sea eagle safari in your trip. You are taken out by traditional fishing boat to the clear waters of the archipelago where you can look out for the majestic sea eagle whilst waiting for a catch in this most beautiful of settings.
