Orcas & Humpback in the Northern Lights 8 days

This is a special photographic expedition to either Kvaløyvågen, Sommarøy or Senja Island in Arctic Norway, specifically looking for orcas and humpback whales, which follow the herring shoals at this time of year, along with sea eagles and other birds. The trip is led by Frank Wirth, the noted wildlife photography and whale expert, who will accompany small groups on board small boats. Snorkelling with whales is also an option, depending on sea and weather conditions. There is a land wildlife photography programme if weather conditions prevent going to sea. A bonus is opportunities to see and photograph the Northern Lights.
