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

Go into the water with killer whales. If conditions are right, and you're really adventurous, you can go into the water with the killer whales. We'll provide all the gear: dry suits, inner linings, masks and snorkels. We don't use flippers or flash cameras as this may frighten the herring and killer whales. Snorklers stay on the surface, and can experience killer whales in their element below the surface of the sea.

Our partners have over 20 years' experience in inflatable safaris. Safety is a major concern for the company. Our fleet consists of large inflatables with powerful engines and state of the art navigation and communications equipment, and the boat operators are thoroughly trained.

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.

Snorkelling safari must be paid, even if you have not got the opportunity to go in to the water. We can not guarantee that you will go in to the water, although we do on most trips. The skippers are in charge during the safari. They have knowledge of the weather and the behavior of the whales. The skippers will decide if the conditions are right and when to go in to the water.

Liability and age limit:
Snorkelling is at your own responsibility. Anyone participating in a snorkelling safari must sign a declaration of liability before departure.

Age limit: You have to be minimum 16 years old to participate in our snorkelling/diving safari.

Inflatable Safari with snorkelling:
