Snorkel or watch orcas in the fjords around Skjervøy in Arctic Norway, where huge shoals of overwintering herring pull in pods of killer whales and humpback whales each winter. Fast RIB boats run whale watching and, in calm conditions, in-water snorkelling through the short Arctic days near Tromsø, with orca activity often near-guaranteed at the season's peak. The herring and whales are here from late October to January, best from November to December.
