Experience the true essence of whale watching on this thrilling fjord safari by Icecube of Aurora. Witness a variety of whales, including killer whales (orcas), sperm whales, porpoises, and hourglass dolphins up close in their natural habitat!
Join Icecube of Aurora for a whale-watching tour in Alta Fjord and get up close to Northern Norway's most majestic marine creatures. A winter tour in Alta Fjord can be a magical experience; while it may be cold, the chance to see whales makes it worthwhile. Recently, whales have started appearing in Alta Fjord, migrating further north, providing us with a unique opportunity to observe them in this area.
The two most common species spotted in Alta Fjord are sperm whales and killer whales (orcas), but there are also good chances to see porpoises and hourglass dolphins. You will be fascinated by the playful and curious behavior of the younger whales, making the experience even more memorable.
Please note: There is no guarantee that you will always see whales or that the weather conditions will be optimal for spotting them. If no whales are seen within two hours, the captain may suggest switching to a King Crab Tour, if weather conditions allow, or continue searching for whales.
