Join Sami Experience on an exciting Whale and Seabird Cruise from Alta, where you’ll have the chance to witness majestic whales, sea eagles, and diverse birdlife in their natural Arctic habitat.
Embark on an unforgettable wilderness adventure with the Sami Experience and explore the beautiful Altafjord. This whale and seabird tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the Arctic wilderness while observing some of nature’s most spectacular creatures. As the boat glides through the calm fjord waters, you will be greeted with magnificent views of Norway's pristine coastal landscape, where whales and seabirds thrive.
Altafjord, rich in marine life due to the seasonal herring migration, attracts a variety of whale species, including orcas, humpback whales, and fin whales. These majestic animals are often seen hunting and playing in the water, providing an extraordinary experience. At the same time, the skies above are home to the sea eagle, a striking bird of prey known for its powerful flight and sharp vision, often seen soaring high as it hunts for prey.
This five-hour cruise is designed for comfort and optimal viewing, with indoor seating and an open deck ensuring guests can experience both the natural beauty of the fjord and its incredible wildlife. Whether you are a photographer or simply a nature enthusiast, this journey through the Arctic provides an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the region’s rich marine and birdlife.
Guests are encouraged to dress warmly and bring a dry bag for valuable belongings. A camera or smartphone is recommended for capturing the unique wildlife encounters.
