Swim with Orcas in Fjords of Norway

Environment

- We are totally committed to respecting and conserving the habitat of the marine mammals of the fiords, the orca, humpback whales, harbour porpoise and fin whales, and encourage our guests to follow our lead.
- We encourage and promote marine tourism and educate our guests to lobby against whaling that is still practised in Norway, in the hope they will cease this practise.
- We only work with suppliers who have strict environmental policies for: the safe disposal of waste & grey water and recycling of plastic, glass etc.
- Our clients are informed on the need to adhere strictly to our waste disposal policies during their time with us.
