Tysfjord, situated several hundred kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, is rightly famous as one of the finest places in the world to see Orcas. From late October to mid-January, large numbers of these marvellous creatures can be seen here, attracted by the arrival of huge schools of Herring. Having arrived in Tysfjord, you spend the next two days on the water with the Orcas. You will have the opportunity to enjoy two styles of whale watching. One on a conventional passenger vessel from which you will get great views and will be able to take good photographs. The other on board a fast zodiac, a very intimate and exciting way to view one of the world’s most magnificent predators. As well as Orcas, Tysfjord is also home to a healthy population of White-tailed Sea Eagles, which can often be seen, in large numbers. As the light fades, you return to the hotel. After nightfall, if the weather is clear, you may be lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis, one of nature’s finest night-sky spectacles. Day 4.
