But when it comes to experiencing whales on a sea safari in Lofoten, it\u2019s simply a matter of coincidence.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No activity providers in Lofoten offer whale watching safaris or can guarantee you will see this marine mammal. If you are lucky enough to spot whales, it\u2019s an experience you remember for the rest of your life. However, only coincidence will determine whether this happens while you are on a sea safari in Lofoten. If you want a guarantee of experiencing the mighty marine mammal, you can travel to beautiful <strong>Andenes in Vester\u00e5len<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-95-chance-to-see-whales\">95% chance to see whales<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andenes in Vester\u00e5len is <em><strong>the place<\/strong><\/em> in Northern Europe with the highest probability of experiencing whales. Consequently, providers can offer whale watching safaris where there is a 95% chance to see whales. These safari trips normally last three to four hours, but the duration varies depending on where the whales are. You will get a guided tour by an experienced crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-whales-in-lofoten-the-magical-coincidences\">Whales in Lofoten \u2013 the magical coincidences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the many charming features of Lofoten is the versatility of the archipelago. You will discover endless activities to suit every occasion, level of experience and requirement. Many of these activities take place in the sea \u2013 everything from fishing from the shore to fishing trips to boat and sea safaris in Henningsv\u00e6r to cruises in the Trollfjord. These activities and many more are magical experiences. If you are extra lucky, you may encounter whales breaching the surface as a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vlb-background-container alignfull alignfull is-style-background-top
