The Story of The Whale
The Whale project took its first steps on an afternoon in January 2014. A group of whale and tourism enthusiasts gathered at the whale center in Andenes to explore the idea of creating a new whale attraction in Andøy. Everyone at the meeting agreed: Andøy had the perfect conditions to become a world-leading destination based on whales and their environment—the ocean—and establishing a unique whale attraction was the right path to take.
After the meeting, the discussion continued over evening coffee at the home of Mayor Jonni Solsvik. It was that evening the decision was made: Andøy would fully commit to the idea, and The Whale was born.
