Whale watching in the summer
Andenes May - September max 12 guests 1,5 - 2,5 hours
The waters of Andenes are highly productive, attracting a great diversity of both baleen and toothed whales! The most common sightings in Summer are Sperm whales, who stay here the whole year-round. The sight of a Sperm whale is really an overwhelming experience that already inspired Melville's tale about Moby Dick. It is the largest toothed whale in the world, growing up to 20 m and 60 tons! Get your camera ready to take outstanding shots of the Sperm whale fluke before they dive!
