Kayak Tromsø

24/11/2018

There are tough conditions in the fjords around Skjervøy these days. Conditions that are only for experienced kayakers, small groups and flexible-minded people. But it is worth it. Our trips are still a total niche, and we like it! :-) Pictures from our guide Kenneth that is out with one experienced client for a multi-day trip!

As predicted before the travelling pattern of the herring would eventually have to change. And after 5 seasons of amazing encounters close to Tromsø the herring & the whales moved further North towards Skjervøy/Reisafjorden, this season. So we went out there with some groups of guests the last couple of days and hit the jackpot with both humpback whales and orcas. But, kayaking there is more demanding as the fjord is wide open and very prone to weather. Still, we are happy to have had happy guests again :-) Thanks to our guide Kenneth for the pictures!

Please do not expect something like this to happen on every trip with Kayak Tromsø ;) But Bjørn Tore Sørensen 's amazing picture shows what is going on in our fjords. And we have had many great encounters over the years that were spectacular, as well! Interested in kayaking with us from November 2017 onwards again? Take contact at [email protected]

Tommy Abrahamsen (27) fikk sitt livs hvalopplevelse i Kaldfjorden før jul. Plutselig spretter en spekkhogger opp fra havet, bare et par meter fra kajakken.

Orcas seem to be reaching an age very similar to humans. And some of them haven been observed and studied for decades. Also in our water around Tromsø we know of Orcas that have already been observed at the "herring rush at Tysfjord" in the 90's. Still, there is so much we do not know about them.

Goodbye Granny!

The world's oldest known killer whale, estimated to be 105 years old, is missing and presumed dead, researchers say.

Happy new year to everybody. It is time to stretch your extremities after all the Christmas and New Years' celebrations! :-) See below for an extraordinary sighting from last season!

We are fully booked for the rest of the season (apart from two spots (!!) the 06.01.), but if you are already interested for season 17/18, starting in November 2017, check for details on www.kayak-tromso.com

For Kayak Tromsø meeting the other silent tour operator North Sailing Norway on the water is always nice. Hearing the sound and breathing of the whales is as important as seeing them! Turn up the volume (this was the darkest day of the year)!

We have some heavy winds these days and cannot always go out to our favourite "whale spots". We have to adjust to the wind and waves. Still, we are out there most of the days and do our best in a safe manner. If you bring the right skill set as a sea kayaker, if we are efficient as a group, and if we are additionally a bit lucky, we can eventually get into occasions like filmed here (a bit into the footage two of our Kayak Tromsø kayakers are filmed)! Amazing material from Amund Lie. Feel free to check his work out on www.hydrophobic.no and watch this video in full resolution on a big screen (and with sound on)!

Today we enjoyed the successful finish of a 3-day adventure out in the fjords of Tromsø. Again, our clients had to fight the wind and the rain, and as a reward we got close to lots of Orcas and Humpback whales when the rain showers ended!

A windy and challenging day today, but really a lot of action on the water (whales & waves). It is nearly impossible to capture the moment, but see some pictures from today and yesterday :-)

It was raining and quite grey, but we had a great day on the water with two clients today! In the following video you get a feeling for the size of these stunning animals (please turn your sound on)! Feel free to share...

Both Humpback whales and Orcas are having lunch just around us in Mid December.
