Join us on a whale watching excursion off the coast of Andenes and the opportunity to see some of the world’s largest mammals up close. Early in the morning we go ashore in Risoyhamn and travel by bus to Andenes. Enjoy amazing views of rugged mountain peaks on one side and the Arctic Ocean on the other. We will find the whales grazing at the edge of the vast deep basin by Andenes. This is the only place along the Norwegian coast where the basin-edge is this close to land, giving us the perfect opportunity to see them. Since whales are mammals, they need to resurface in order to breathe, so we’ve got a great chance of sightings. It is breathtaking to see their flukes before they dive down again to feed. After several intense hours on the open sea, the boat takes us to Senja, known as “Norway in Miniature”. On the bus trip along the national tourist road you can enjoy diverse and stunning landscapes. We rejoin our Hurtigruten ship at Finnsnes, just in time for lunch.
