Additional Information

During the winter season, the fjords of northern Norway, abundant in herring, attract whales in search of food. This gives one a rare chance to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, amidst the stunning backdrop of the fjords.

You would have the privilege to bask under the spellbinding winter skies, flanked by majestic mountains and diverse marine life of the fjords.

On boarding the boat, we’ll set off into the fjords in pursuit of humpback whales and Orcas. We would maintain a respectful distance and switch off our boat motors to prevent unwanted disruption to the sea creatures. These whales are as intrigued about us as we are about them, therefore, chances are they might swim close to our boat.

Kindly note, while we do our utmost, we cannot ensure that we’ll sight whales during every tour. The commencement and conclusion of the season can be modified based on the migratory patterns of whales.

The to-and-fro journey to the harbour takes about 1.5 hours each and is accounted for in the total tour duration. The estimated boat duration is roughly 3.5 hours.

Whale safari - Amazing trip with experienced crew. I would recommend Æventyr for everyone that visit Alta. Might seem a bit expensive, but definitely worth it.
