We offer unforgettable full day whale and bird watching safaris in Stø from start of June until end of August.
Experience a day out on the open sea, as we take you to Bleik Canyon, one of the most important sperm whale feeding areas in Northern Europe. We also have a chance to meet other cetacean species, including orcas, minke whales, long-finned pilot whales, and harbour porpoises.
On the way back to Stø, we will make a stop off Anda Island to have a look at Atlantic puffins, guillemots, razorbills, white-tailed eagles and harbour seals. Anda supports one of the most stable puffin colonies in Norway, with about 30,000 birds nesting on the island every summer. We offer a light soup lunch onboard, with unlimited tea, coffee and biscuits available for guests.
Our highly experienced and qualified guides will ensure you have an informative, safe and exciting day in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
We have a 100% whale guarantee; in the very rare occasion we cannot find any whales, we will offer you another whale safari free of charge

The last stop on our whale safari is the island Anda. Here we will take you close to the bird cliffs, which are home to thousands of seabirds. About 30000 puffins inhabit the island every summer from mid April to mid August. We will also go close to the flat rocks north of the island to see if we find harbour seals resting on the rocks. Some of the bird species you can expect to see are:
Our safari success rate is around 95 %, but occasionally, it happens that we fail to spot any whales (we are dealing with nature and wildlife, after all). For such rare days, we have a whale guarantee: If we do not see whales, guests who are interested can join on another safari free of charge. In this case, please contact reception after the trip and we will rebook you.
