Because of the short distance from Andenes to very deep oceanic waters, Andenes is the only place in northern Europe where you can see the giant male sperm whales on relatively short trips. Here you can encounter the world's largest toothed whale just off the coast of the fishing village. The Whale Center offers a unique combination of tourism, education and research. The Whale Safari with an expert guide lasts approx. 3-5 hours. The chance of seeing the whales is reckoned to be 90%. The Safari begins with a guided tour at the Whale Center. A multi media show on whales and their environment is shown several times a day. Research projects on living whales have also been an important part of the Whale Center since the establishment.
Getting there: You can go to Andenes by air from Bodø or Evenes, by ferry from Gryllefjord on the island of Senja (June-August only) or by highway Rv82 from Lofoten. You can also take the local bus from Sortland to Andenes. The trip takes 2hr 15min. |
