Norway Vacations - Day 6 Itinerary
Home » Norway » Norway Vacations A Week Long Itinerary » Norway Vacations - Day 6 ItineraryToday it’s easier than ever to see whales, if you have the patience and a little luck. The number of tour companies offering whale-watching trips in Norway is growing and most offer tours at affordable prices. They usually run from the northern hemisphere’s spring until their autumn. The killer whales can be spotted in Norway’s Lyford in the wintertime, from October to January.
The Loosen Islands are a chain of islands above the Arctic Circle, just six nautical miles offshore, where between May and September, massive sperm whales can be found in these nutrient rich and deep waters. The sperm whales in these waters are all male. The females remain in the warmer seas further south, around the Aazores and Canary Islands, with their young.
The Lofoten Islands have always been a prime hunting ground for the Norwegian whalers. But these days cameras have replaced the harpoons. Whale watching off northern Norway has become so popular that Norwegian authorities have set up a special whale route with car ferries linking the various islands in the area.
