Whale watching from Reisafjord: The Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival at Reisafjord and first whale safari
Today, you will check into the Reisafjord Hotel, which is located directly on the busy, but beautiful harbour front of the Reisafjord. From your room and the restaurant, you will have a wonderful view looking out over the fjord. Then, you will embark for your first whale watching safari. The guide will give you a lecture about the whales and a security briefing before the safari. You will also be provided with a wind and water proof floating suit so you can enjoy your time outside, even in the cold arctic winter. Back at the hotel in the afternoon, you can relax in the hotel’s fireplace lounge with coffee, tea and waffles. Enjoy a delicious dinner in the evening before you get a good night of sleep. And if you are lucky, you will see the Northern Lights dancing in the sky tonight.

Day 2.: Second whale safari and departure
After a tasty breakfast, you will return to the excursion boat for your second included whale watching excursion. From November to January, the gigantic whales often hunt for herrings off the coast around Reisa and Skjervøy, giving you the chance to spot them when they surface above the water. From the boat, you will have a unique view of the fjord landscape and can discover the wild coast of northern Norway from a completely new perspective. Then, it is time for your departure. Alternatively, you have the option of booking additional nights at the Reisafjord Hotel.
Optional: Extending your arctic adventure
If you would like to extend your stay at the Reisafjord Hotel, you can do so by booking additional nights with half board, which means that you will enjoy a delicious breakfast and dinner in the evening. You also have the choice between various activities that you can optionally book. These include, for example, guided dog sled tours, cross-country ski tours as well as snowmobile and ice fishing tours.
Accommodation:
You will stay in the Reisafjord Hotel in Sørkjosen. Located right at a busy harbour, the hotel offers new renovated rooms with views over the mountains and the fjord, a cosy bar and a restaurant with delicious food from the region. The staff is professional and dedicated to give you the best experiences during your stay. The price refers to the accommodation for a double room. It is also possible to upgrade your accommodation to a single room.

Additional Information:
The order of tours and activities within this itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and other contributing factors that must be taken into account by the guides when planning your tour. You will receive the exact order of activities once you arrive on site. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. The safety of guests and animals comes first, and for this reason, we reserve the right to change the itinerary and intensity of activities if and when needed. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period.The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay. For this reason, corona-related reasonable usage rules or restrictions may arise when using said services. Please note these official requirements (Google Translate).
