Whale safari

A Whale Centre was established in 1988 and is situated in an old fish processing warehouse at the harbour front. Here, you can book your Whale Safari and participate in a guiding at the Whale Museum. Our experienced and international guide team offer you a museum guiding in different languages. This will give you a deeper insight on whales, their biology and our research projects. A final multi media show makes the guiding perfect.

Afterwords we are heading out to the deep sea - to Bleik Canyon - in search for whales. Our most famous and most sought after species is the Sperm whale. During the 4-5 hours trip we might be able to spot several of this large marine mammals. We watch them while they are resting on the surface. But the most impressive moment is the up to 18 meters/60 feet long Sperm whale raising its humongous tail fin just before descending to the depth of the vast ocean.

Whale Guarantee
Experience shows that whales are spotted during 95-99% of our safaris. Our guarantee: We´ll give you a free new trip or your ticket reimbursed if you are unfortunate and don´t see whales the first time.

Scientists and Guides
The guides at the Whale Centre and onboard our vessels are scientists and students from many different countries. In such a way, every whale watching trip is partially devoted to research.

Our long-term project is the photo identification of sperm whales. Those creatures each have an unique tail fin pattern - comparable to our fingerprint being singular to every human being. That`s how we count and recognize Sperm whales year after year since the late 1980`s.

Research on living whales has been important to us since the establishment of the Whale Centre in 1988. Whalesafari Ltd. offers researchers from different universities to stay and use the facilities connected to the centre. Biologists, biology students and experienced naturalists work on board our vessels and in the museum - and in this way both get training in education and research.
