Additional Information

Andøya is Norway’s hidden spot for fantastic wildlife.

Join our summer whale/wildlife RIB-boat excursion to explore the canyon of Bleik and its surroundings.

The canyon is home to abundant marine wildlife, including the magnificent sperm whales. You will also have a chance to encounter other marine mammals, such as pilot whales, orcas, minke, and occasionally Risso’s dolphins and fin whales.

All these animals frequent the area in search for food (different fish species), which also attract extraordinary bird and other wildlife.

In searching for whales, we will most likely encounter different birds (puffins, eagles, gannets, etc.) while we keep our eyes open for Harbor seals.

Join our 3,5 hours RIB boat excursion with a maximum of 12 guests to explore the wonders of Bleik Canyon.

During the tour, your guide will be onboard to give you information about all the wildlife we encounter, and take photos (as memories) to take them home with you after the trip.

All guests must be in OK physical shape as this is a difficulty level medium excursion.
Maximum weight is 120kg (260 pounds) due to small size of boat.

Location

Bleik Marina

Look for the sign of the local partner Green Gold of Norway (dragon on trailer) at the Bleik harbor. Once you arrive you will be met by your skipper. Bleik is a 10-minute drive from Andenes.

Unforgettable whale watching experience - one of a kind! - Highly recommend taking this amazing whale watching trip in Bleik! The skipper and incredibly knowledgeable guide both went out of their way to give us an unforgettable experience. We left late in the evening (around 9:30 pm) and only returned at about 1 pm, our camera roll full of amazing photographs. It was bright sunshine on the water, and we spotted a minke whale, pod of orcas, and even went to the island nearby to see the puffins. Thank you so much, The Gold of Norway, we will never forget this experience!

Room for more - We booked the evening tour with tea and muffins. The procedure at the meeting point with getting dressed and getting on the boat already started a bit chaotic. Wouldn't have been asked too much to explain the whole trip first. The guide was really unmotivated from beginning to end. She whispered more than she talked. As we sat in the back, we did not understand a word of the facts that she told about the whales. However, the driver was trying his best and explained some facts. We saw one orca, which was a pretty cool experience. Nevertheless, the boat got too close in our opinion and drove after the orca. Because the whales were far off shore we had to drive a long way and did not go to see sperm whales in Bleik Canyon. Also, the visit to the puffin island was just for 2 minutes (because if the weather maybe). Against the description of the tour we did not get any tea and only a few participants got muffins at the very end. The dismissal was also strange and we were left there without any "thank you for joining us" or whatever.
