It is a remarkable experience to observe orca whales from solid ground, and even more magical to see them up close from the deck of a boat. Imagine, then, slipping into the water and snorkeling alongside these majestic creatures, entering their world and encountering them in the subaquatic realm they call home. After an introduction to basic snorkeling techniques and equipment, your local captain will guide you along the traditional migration routes where whales are most likely to appear.

When a whale is sighted, you will gently enter the water with your guide and float at the surface, watching as these extraordinary animals move through the depths below. Your dry suit, snorkel, fins, and gloves will keep you warm and comfortable, allowing you to remain in this timeless underwater environment and experience a rare sense of connection with some of the ocean’s most noble inhabitants.

Kindly note that on request, we can arrange for a private photography team to document your adventure, both underwater and from the boat.

Terms and Conditions apply. For the following activities — Fjord & Wildlife Cruise, Swimming and Snorkeling with Whales, Deep Sea Fishing, Fjord Cruise under the Midnight Sun, and Arctic Floating — there will only be a 50% refund if the activity is cancelled due to weather conditions.
