Alta: Altafjord Whale Watching in a Heated Boat

Embark on a whale safari from Alta and set out to explore the stunning Altafjord and its remarkable inhabitants. Enjoy the anticipation of encountering these majestic creatures, guided by your captain's expertise in navigating the fjord and locating marine life.

As the seasons shift between November and February, local waters come alive with the arrival of migrating herring, signaling the presence of magnificent orcas and humpback whales. Step onto a comfortable vessel, the Sea Runner, equipped with modern amenities, including a toilet, screens for presentations, and WiFi access, ensuring a truly enjoyable experience for all guests.

As you board, breathe in the refreshing sea breeze and take in the breathtaking scenery, including the serene fjord, snow-covered mountains, and the enchanting winter sky. Whether you choose to relax in the heated indoor seating area or take in the views from the outdoor decks, every guest will find something to enjoy.

Relying on their expertise and deep familiarity with the area, your captain will make every effort to locate the whales and marine life during your excursion. However, as these magnificent creatures roam wild and free, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Safety is our top priority, which is why we provide life jackets onboard for guests who may feel more comfortable wearing them. Additionally, our vessel features a railing for added security.

While we strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all, please note that during periods of high speed, it may not be possible to walk outside. However, we do ensure that there are ample opportunities to slow down and enjoy the scenery, allowing guests to safely step outside and take in the breathtaking views.

Please dress warmly to combat the cold weather and layer up according to the conditions. Feel free to bring backpacks for your belongings, and don't forget to bring along your camera for capturing the experience.

This activity is suitable for everyone, including small children. Passengers need to be able to walk a few steps.
