Norway Whale watching in Skjervoy

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Every year between November and January, an enormous migration unfolds: around 300 million tons of herring enter the fjords of Northern Norway. A feast that attracts orcas, humpbacks, fin whales, even the occasional sperm whale.

Photography Tips

Orcas sometimes come closer than expected and on the zodiac, we never needed to be closer than 300 mm, but sometimes we only needed 50 mm. Take a dry bag to cover the camera while driving, it can get very wet!
