I-Cruiser Posted March 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) We are cruising the norwegian fjords in june and was wondering if we will see whales or dolphins? Not very likely unless your cruise takes you up to Northern Norway. But never say never :) The best place for Whale safari is at Andoy(Andenes) on the Northern tip of the Lofoten Islands. Close to the town to Harstad. Edited March 1, 2014 by I-Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desdichado62 Posted March 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Dont think we go that far north, oh well you never know. There is a small population of tumlare (Porpoise), which are are closely related to Dolphins, in the waters at the Swedish west coast. So I would guess that they also exist along the Norwegian south coast and there about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-Cruiser Posted March 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yes, Thats right, you can find porpoise in the North Sea of the coast of Western Norway. But not sure if there are any "tours to watch" them. If you get to see any its by chance so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldonaldonald Posted March 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Where are cruising from? You could see dolphins in the North Sea if you're lucky- I have seen Atlantic white-sided there. I have also seen harbour porpoises in the fjords, as mentioned above. Minke whales further north in Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
