Embark on an unforgettable whale watching tour in the icy waters of Alta Fjord. Get close to majestic sea mammals like orcas, sperm whales, and porpoises as you explore Northern Norway's stunning winter landscape.
Set out on a captivating whale watching tour in Alta Fjord and discover the rich marine life of Northern Norway. During the winter months, Alta Fjord becomes a prime location for spotting various species of whales, including killer whales (orcas) and sperm whales.
The tour offers a rare opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, along with playful hourglass dolphins and porpoises. Although the winter chill is present, the chance to observe these majestic animals makes it worthwhile. You’ll be guided by an experienced captain who knows the best spots for whale sightings.
If weather conditions are challenging or if no whales are spotted within the first two hours, the tour may adapt by offering an exciting King Crab Tour as an alternative. Regardless of the outcome, the experience of navigating the fjord’s brilliant waters is sure to be memorable.
