BIG BOAT SAFARI
Departures Fridays - Sundays from 30.10.2009 to 17.01.2010, also during Christmas and New Year.
Our safari starts at Base Camp, where we take the bus
to the safari boat. We often find whole packs of whales immediately, but sometimes it takes a bit longer. We fit in with the animals' movements and speeds so as not to disturb them. We study the killer whales as
they hunt and eat herrings, with the seagulls and sea eagles following them. Sometimes, the whales get curious about us humans and come right alongside the boat. You can see whole whale families, males, females and
calves.
If there's enough time, we can also get close to Skarberget (Eagle Mountain) that plunges straight into the fjord. Here, large flocks of eagles gather during the autumn to take
part in the hunt for the herrings. We end the day with a lecture about the orcas at 18:00.
