Take part in a fascinating whale watching encounter. There's something mysterious, elemental and deeply moving about seeing a whale at sea for the first time.

The boat trip, the anticipation, the first glimpse, the sudden realisation that you are seeing one of the world's most extraordinary animals in an alien environment. It all adds up to one of those never-to-be-forgotten moments in life. And there's now more reason than ever to go.

It's not just good fun; whale watching is good for conservation too. Whale watching in the Arctic has grown steadily since the first trips began in end of the eighties. It gives tourists the chance to see whales, dolphins and porpoises in their natural environment.

And it's a great way for people to learn about the natural and cultural history of the Arctic and ensure that they are better aware of conservation issues unique to this environment.
