Description

6 days orca safari, live-aboard:

Every year in January-February, the probably largest gathering of "killerwhales" (Orca) in the world take place in the North West Cost of Norway, due to enormous amounts of herring.

Sometimes as many as 70 whales can be observed at the same time.
We follow the whales closely to watch them play and feed. When possible, we enter the water and dive with them. To be with these magnificent animals in their own habitat is an experience for life.

We operate from a well equipped 91ft live-aboard cutter with compressor, tanks and weights for 12 divers. Name of the boat M/S "Sula".

The Atlantic Road

The Atlantic Road meanders at the ocean’s edge, from island to island, across bridges and rock-fills. There are numerous attractive picnic areas where you can park to get even closer to the waves – a few steps and you can also cast a fishing line, if you wish. There are some excellent fishing spots. A stone’s throw to the west the shipping lane crosses Hustadvika, a notorious stretch of open sea. Many shipwrecks rest on the seafloor here. The Atlantic Road is especially fascinating when the autumn storms rage – large waves break right next to the road (and occasionally even wash across the asphalt). Road construction workers had to endure twelve hurricanes before the Atlantic Road could open in 1989! At the end of the 19th century, 120 people lived on these windswept islands. Their livelihood was fishing and production of dried fish.
