Whale watching with the best seats on the tour boat M/S Marianne

They sail to get as many experiences and stories as possible, as well as see porpoises, seals, birdlife and, rarely, sea eagles.

Jump aboard tour boat MS Marianne and enjoy a sailing trip on the Little Belt from the best seats, with an experienced skipper at the helm. You meet from Gammelhavn in Middelfart, from where you sail through the Lillebælt Nature Park on an approximately two-hour trip.

Whale watching with MS Marianne
Since Lillebælt Nature Park is home to one of the world's densest populations of porpoises, the curious little whale is often seen at sea level. Your skipper has extensive experience in finding the porpoises and you therefore have a good chance of experiencing them up close when you are on a whale safari with MS Marianne.

Discover Lillebælt Nature Park
Sailing trips in the Little Belt are always an eventful experience, as the Nature Park is home to many seals and birds in addition to porpoises - you may even be lucky enough to see sea eagles along the way. In addition to experiencing the rich wildlife, you can also enjoy the beautiful view of the Lillebælt's wonderful coasts. The unique nature of the Little Belt is an Ice Age landscape and contains both smaller islands, eroded coastal cliffs and fine sandy beaches, the variety of which is best experienced from the water.

During the voyage
The trip is quiet and calm, depending on weather and current conditions and varies from time to time, as the goal is to get as many experiences, animal sightings and stories as possible during the sailing trip.

Whale watching is an exciting experience for young and old and therefore works well as a family activity. If children on board the boat feel like it, they are welcome in the wheelhouse, where they can try their hand as a helmsman under expert guidance.

MS Marianne's skipper is happy to talk about the porpoises, wildlife and nature, as well as about the bridges and the area, during the voyage.
