Midnight sun trips

The most common whale species off Andenes are male Sperm whales. Up to 20 meters long and 60 tons heavy they are the largest toothed whales on the planet. Now it is possible to combine whales and midnight sun with a visit to one of Northern Norway's most important bird cliffs, Bleiksøya. There you will see thousands of Puffins, White-tailed eagles, and other species under the midnight sun. Have your camera ready to capture this spectacle of nature.

Our midnight sun trips take place between the end of May and the end of July and are weather-dependent. It is a combined whale and bird watching tour and is offered on specific dates if the weather conditions allow for and last about 4 hours. Contact us for more information and read the FAQs.
