Whales & Lights in Arctic Norway

Above the Arctic circle, the fjords of Norway serve as a feeding ground for whales and orcas. We set out on an adventure to spot these impressive creatures. The mysterious twilight and Polar night can treat us to spectacular northern lights. We will depart from Tromsø, a cozy town located right in the middle of the planet’s Northern Lights belt.
