INFLATABLE SAFARI
Daily departures from 30.10.2009 to 17.01.2010, also during Christmas and New Year.

Come on a killer whale safari in an inflatable! From inside the inflatable, just half a metre above the waves, you'll experience nature as you've never done before. Our tours go into Tysfjord or across the Vestfjord, depending on where whales have been seen. Tours start and end at Orca Base Camp, and last for up to three hours. We'll provide you with lifejackets, but you have to bring your own warm shoes, hats and gloves. Once we find the killer whales, we turn the engine off. Close contact with these great animals, the silence interrupted only by their dramatic blowing noises, the smell of real herrings, and you feel like part of the whole phenomenon.

WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH – YOU HAVE TO BE THERE!

The safari boat:
Our fleet consists of rubber dinghies with powerful outboard motors, fully updated with modern navigational and communications equipment. Each boat can take up to 20 people, and all passengers are supplied with windproof floating suits for the duration of the trip.

Our skippers have been given thorough training, and we have made a point of assembling a staff of responsible individuals who also have considerable knowledge of the local history, culture and natural surroundings.

Guarantee:
As whales are elements of nature, we do not guarantee that we will find the whales at all times. For the season 2006/2007 we observed whales around 65 % of the trips. We had to cancel the safari 2 of the seasons 93 days due to bad weather.

Prices:

940,- NOK

Age limit: You have to be minimum 10 years old to participate in our rubber boat safari.
