Orca Norway is the first operator ever to offer orca snorkeling tours in Norway, and has, since 1992, operated each season with the same captain - Olav Magne Strømsholm.

The crew led by captain Olav is a group of experienced and skilled professionals: dive instructors, boat drivers, guides, photographers, chefs and hospitality specialists, all of which have worked multiple seasons in Northern Norway and elsewhere (Svalbard, Antarctica, Tonga). The crew speaks English, French and Norwegian/Swedish.
