In winter, whales come to the herring-rich fjords in northern Norway to hunt. This is a unique opportunity to experience the whales up close while exploring the beautiful fjords of northern Norway.

You will get to enjoy the beautiful winter skies, while surrounded by mountains and the wildlife of the fjords.

We adjust the start point of this trip to where the whales have last been seen to maximise your chance of seeing them. The tour starts with a car/minibus transfer to a harbour outside Alta city, which takes approximately 25 minutes.

Once on the boat we will make our way out into the fjords to look for humpback whales and orcas. We will keep a safe distance and turn off our boat engines to minimise the disturbance to the whales. The whales are just as curious about visitors as we are about them, so they will most likely come and swim around our boat. Due to the temperatures in the Arctic we are out on the water for approx. one hour.

Please note that while we try our best, we can not guarantee that we will actually see whales on the trip. The season start and end date can be adjusted according to whale migration patterns.

We conduct this tour in small groups of maximum 12 participants only to ensure a great and personal experience for all of our guests.
