点评:After a few years of being on my ‘bucket list’ I finally made it to Skjervøy thanks to the information and enthusiasm of Steve Truluck at Sea.
We flew to Tromsø before joining the Hurtigruten coastal explorer ship for the 4 hour transfer by sea to Skjervøy.
The next day we joined our first trip out with guide and skipper Torleif and Cnut on a comfortable boat with inside and outside seating.
Once we spotted our first orca they were literally everywhere we looked. The orca were joined by humpbacks.
In total throughout the trip I estimate 50+ orca and 10 humpbacks.
Our hosts were extremely knowledgeable and respectful of the wildlife whilst also ensuring the guests all got to see.
We always kept our distance but were lucky to be approached my many animals who passed right next to our stationary boat.
Dervola stand out from the other operators by their ethical approach, a longer trip (4 hours) allowing us longer with the animals and also having enclosed areas on the boat which meant you keep warmer.
I also observed other operators actively approaching the animals at a close distance.

我们飞往特罗姆瑟,然后登上 Hurtigruten 沿海探险船,经过 4 小时的海上转船到达 Skjervøy。
第二天,我们与导游兼船长 Torleif 和 Cnut 一起参加了我们的第一次旅行,乘坐一艘舒适的船,船上有室内和室外座位。
当我们发现第一头虎鲸时,它们几乎无处不在。虎鲸和座头鲸一起出现。
整个旅程中,我估计总共有 50 多头虎鲸和 10 头座头鲸。
我们的主人非常了解野生动物,尊重野生动物,同时也确保所有客人都能看到它们。
我们总是保持距离,但幸运的是,许多动物从我们静止的船旁边经过,我们走近了它们。
Dervola 凭借其道德做法而从其他运营商中脱颖而出,更长的旅程(4 小时)让我们可以更长时间地与动物相处,船上还有封闭的区域,这意味着你可以保持温暖。
我还观察到其他运营商主动近距离接近动物。
