Description

Set out on an unforgettable whale watching adventure in Alta Fjord, Northern Norway, where winter brings the chance to witness majestic marine life in their natural habitat. Glide across icy waters as you search for sperm whales, orcas, porpoises, and playful hourglass dolphins, all under the guidance of an experienced captain.

Your journey begins in Alta, where you’ll be warmly welcomed and outfitted with a life jacket, insulated coverall, and the option to borrow boots, woolen socks, mittens, and headwear to stay comfortable in the Arctic chill. Sip on hot tea or coffee and enjoy biscuits as you keep watch for the fjord’s most impressive residents.

The tour lasts approximately four hours and is available for small groups of up to eight people, ensuring a personal and intimate wildlife experience. Commentary is provided in both English and Norwegian, making it accessible for international visitors eager to learn about the region’s unique marine ecosystem.

While sightings are not guaranteed due to nature’s unpredictability, your chances are high during the winter months when whales migrate through these northern waters. If weather disrupts your tour, you can reschedule or receive a full refund, offering peace of mind for your booking.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the wonders of Alta Fjord’s wildlife in winter. Spots are limited, so check availability and secure your booking now for an Arctic adventure you’ll never forget.

•Policy on rescheduling tours due to weather conditions: If adverse weather conditions occur at the time and date of a booked tour, you have the option to either cancel the tour with a full refund or reschedule it to a new date. Should you choose to reschedule rather than cancel, and a new date and time are agreed upon between you and the captain, this new arrangement becomes binding. If you does not attend the tour at the rescheduled date and time, the original booking remains valid, and payment for the tour will still be required in full. •If you are late for the tour, the boat will wait max 10 minutes after the tour's starting time and then leave for the tour. You will then be reported as a no-show. •The minimum required number of participants are two. If you book for yourself, you can pay for two adult tickets or the tour is cancelled unless more people book the same tour at a later date. If you pay for two adult tickets, you will be refunded the extra ticket if more people join.
