It feeds in the rich Barents Sea all summer, and in February, it\u2019s spawning season somewhere out in the Atlantic Ocean. From October-November to early February, it finds its way to somewhere along the coast of Northern Norway. At times it has been Tysfjord. In recent years, it has been Troms\u00f8. Now, they seem to prefer Skjerv\u00f8y. The reasons for this migration have not been identified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-sea-bubbles-and-boils-as-the-whales-rush-for-food\">The sea bubbles and boils as the whales rush for food <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The word is out; the herring is here! Both humpback and killer whales send out signals to their friends, and they all come rushing. The humpback whale is on its way from the polar ice edge to the Caribbean Sea, looking for a hot date with the ladies. It needs its strength. The killer whale\u2014the wolf of the sea\u2014always turns up where there is a meal to be had. There are some indications that the humpback has learned the killer whale\u2019s call for herring. Hey, if you\u2019re hungry, it may be a good idea to learn a foreign language! <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm5-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm5-1.jpg\" alt=\"Whalesafari in Skjerv\u00f8y is exciting \u00a9 Francisco Damm\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm5-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Whalesafari in Skjerv\u00f8y is exciting \u00a9 Francisco Damm\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/whalesafarikrisztinabalotay-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/whalesafarikrisztinabalotay-1.jpg\" alt=\"Whalesafari in Skjerv\u00f8y outside of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Krisztina Balotay\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/whalesafarikrisztinabalotay-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Whalesafari in Skjerv\u00f8y outside of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Krisztina Balotay\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Whalesafari in Skjerv\u00f8y is exciting \u00a9 Francisco Damm<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Whalesafari in Skjerv\u00f8y outside of Troms\u00f8 \u00a9 Krisztina Balotay<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-complex-tactics-are-used-to-get-food\">Complex tactics are used to get food <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Killer whales hunt in packs. The pack circles the school of herring until the fish are standing close together in the water. Then they simply take turns moving in, with the highest ranking members of the pack being the first to get their fill. Humpbacks use a different technique. They drive the herring together with their tail, before they go deep to gather speed, hurtling toward the surface with their mouths wide open. On the way up, the humpback collects hundreds of herring before leaping elegantly out of the water, sifting out the seawater from their mouths. Sometimes humpbacks also steal the herring gathered up by the killer whales. Table manners are obviously not a concern.  <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-0\">\n\t\t<ul><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\" alignwide wp-block-vnn-booking\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vnn-booking__image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lyngenfjord.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vnn-booking__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-on-a-whale-safari\">Go on a whale safari<\/h2>\n\n<p>Book a tour to see the majestic creatures<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button link-to-booking-provider-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.visit-lyngenfjord.com\/activities\/whale-safari-skjervoy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"vnn__byline vnn-grid has-no-author has-no-date has-tags\"><div class=\"vnn__byline-tags\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_se-og-gjore=activities\" rel=\"tag\">Activities<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_se-og-gjore=whalesafari\" rel=\"tag\">Whalesafari<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_se-og-gjore=wildlifesafari\" rel=\"tag\">Wildlife Safari<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_omrder=lyngenfjord\" rel=\"tag\">Lyngenfjord<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_sesonger=winter\" rel=\"tag\">Winter<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_fasiliteter=family-friendly\" rel=\"tag\">Family Friendly<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/experiences-and-activities\/?fwp_fasiliteter=groups\" rel=\"tag\">Groups<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":3449,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_searchwp_excluded":"","vnn_header_layout":"featured","vnn_header_layout_image_id":3446,"vnn_header_layout_image_focal_point_x":0.515,"vnn_header_layout_image_focal_point_y":0.77611940298507,"vnn_header_layout_description":"","vnn_header_layout_url":"","vnn_header_layout_url_text":"","vnn_header_layout_photographer":"","vnn_header_layout_video_id":"","vnn_header_layout_yt_id":"","vnn_header_layout_vimeo_id":"","teft_location_geodata_lat":70.046289897051,"teft_location_geodata_lng":20.937648033723,"teft_cards_image_id":3449,"teft_cards_image_focal_point_x":0.435,"teft_cards_image_focal_point_y":0.90298507462687,"teft_cards_title":"","teft_cards_excerpt":"","footnotes":""},"todo":[2,109,90],"facilities":[15,5],"season":[16],"region":[69],"malgrupper":[40,18],"class_list":["post-3403","aktiviteter","type-aktiviteter","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","todo-activities","todo-whalesafari","todo-wildlifesafari","facilities-family-friendly","facilities-groups","season-winter","region-lyngenfjord","malgrupper-bucket-list-betty","malgrupper-nature-lover"],"feature_media_url":"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Greengoldofnorway_Francisco-Damm5-1.jpg","vnn_map_marker_category":{"id":90,"name":"Wildlife Safari","slug":"wildlifesafari","icon":"","parentIcon":"","parent":"Activities"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v25.3.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Whale Safari Skjerv\u00f8y | Spectacular creatures | Visit Northern Norway<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/aktivitet\/winters-most-spectacular-adventure-is-a-whale-safari-off-skjervoy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Winter&#039;s most spectacular adventure is a Whale Safari off Skjerv\u00f8y\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Under the blue twilight of the polar night, dramatic events are unfolding in the deep.
