The Original Orca Expedition


Join us in Northern Norway from October to late January, where the world’s largest gathering of orcas takes place in dramatic Arctic fjords. Orcanorway offers 3-day and 6-day liveaboard expeditions designed for intimate wildlife experiences. With a 99% in-water encounter rate over the past seasons, you’ll have the chance to swim with orcas as they hunt herring in coordinated groups—often accompanied by humpback whales. This is your chance to be part of a truly unforgettable Arctic adventure.

Over 30 Years of Orca Adventures


Since 1992, we've pioneered orca expeditions inspired by founder Olav Magne Strømsholm's passion for marine life. What began with a single boat and a dream has evolved over three decades into an iconic Norwegian adventure, exploring stunning fjords and creating unforgettable encounters with orcas.

The Journey of Orcas Along Norway's Coast


For over three decades, we've closely followed the movements and behavior of orcas along Norway's coast. Since our first expedition in 1992, we've adjusted our journeys to follow these majestic creatures, gaining unparalleled expertise in their migration patterns. Our collaboration with scientists and local fishermen has given us unique insights into the orcas' changing habits.
