Norway may not be thought of as a safari destination, but the breath-taking scenery and unique wildlife that inhabit Norway’s cold north make it a top location for those looking for an off-the-beaten-track experience. From the colourful houses of Tromso to the towering peaks of The Lofoten Islands, not to mention the astounding Aurora Borealis, Norway offers a myriad of activities to enjoy. If you fancy heading even further into the Arctic, travel to Svalbard aboard one of our expedition ships for wild encounters with polar bears, walrus, seals and more.
We like to offer exclusive safaris that travel deeper into our destinations to give our clients unforgettable experiences; with Norway, this means travelling north.
Lying far above the Arctic Circle, The Lofoten Islands are a rare European wilderness. A selection of traditional fishing villages, The Lofoten Islands now offer numerous adventure activities such as hiking, skiing, ocean rafting and scuba diving while also being a great location for wildlife sightings such as seabird colonies, otters and moose.

Everything went according to plan and it was an experience we will never forget! It was incredible! The encounters we had were amazing and the time on the water and boat were perfect. Patrick and our captain Oddgeir were great! Patrick did his best to ensure we got as many amazing encounters as possible. He ensured we were safe at all times and took us to remote locations, which allowed us to experience the whales in their natural habitat, not surrounded by multiple boats but rather by themselves, behaving as naturally as can be. It was absolutely incredible and we hope to travel with Patrick again in the future!
Fantastic. It exceeded expectations in every way. A very personal service from our destination specialist, Gemma, who was knowledgeable, helpful and extremely efficient. It was a pleasure to engage with her. Overall: excellent service, unique experiences, great ethos, friendly people, and our guides Patrick and Rita were amazing. They made our holiday perfect.
The trip was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with a love for the ocean and its wildlife. I have a passion for travelling and your company was able to set up one of the best trips I have ever taken that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon!
Traveled to Norway to swim with Orca Whales. The trip was incredible. Very nicely put together. The guide, Patrick was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgable, great to be around, and made the trip fun and exciting! Gemma at NWS was very reachable and informative. Was easy to get questions answered and quickly.
The trip was very good. Usually we don't use travel agencies, but I loved travelling with you!
Amazing time. Great experience with wildlife, nature and fun company. Relaxed atmosphere.
A once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
It was an amazing trip! Northern lights almost every night and many many orca every day. The guides were awesome and the crew on the ship were fabulous too. So many amazing memories and lots of outstanding pictures and videos.
Thanks so much for everything, Gemma - especially your help transitioning Jess for Andy! We would recommend this trip to anyone. The trip was absolutely incredible. We had success encountering orca and humpbacks every day, and the fulfillment of a life's dream to experience killer whales in their natural habitat, in the water, was everything I imagined it would be. On top of that, the professionalism of NWS, the guides, Kinfish and her crew, all helped make for a fluid, pain-free trip - thank you
The crew of MV Kinfish was amazing. They put their heart and sweat in making sure the boat was ready for the trip, made sure we achieved our objectives, and made sure we were very well taken care of. They were very accommodating and professional. Our guides Rita and Joshua were also very fun to be with. They definitely made the trip memorable.
Gemma gave us an outstanding service from the moment we asked whether there was a chance to have the Kinfish for the swimming with whales adventure. Not only the trip was organised, but Gemma also responded promptly to our numerous requests and helped us dealing with the uncertainty of who was to be the 4th member of our group. She even managed to get an extra dry suit at the last minute. We always received very professional service.
Apart from the obvious activities of hiking and seeing the Northern Lights, Norway offers plenty of more obscure sites and activities for those looking for something a little out-of-the-ordinary. Whether you choose to walk along the Red Beach at Mjelle, explore glacial caves in Nigardsbreen or photograph eider ducks on the Vega Islands you can thoroughly enjoy the unique landscapes of Norway while having something new and exciting to write home about. Why not travel to the North Cape, the very top of Europe which looks out at the gateway to the Arctic?
If eating out is your thing Tromso offers a complete unique experience with an exclusive romantic meal for two on board an old whaling boat, the Vulkana, which has been converted into a luxury spa and restaurant. With the entire boat to yourself, you will be able to relax and enjoy the Arctic spa, sauna, outside hot tub with views over the fjords, and a wonderful three-course meal cooked especially for the two of you.
This is a truly extraordinary opportunity to top off your Norway honeymoon.
