On the day of your whale-watching excursion from Alta, you'll need to arrive at the meeting point in the Æventyr Booking Point at least 15 minutes before the start of the experience. There, you will meet your instructor, who will welcome you to Alta and tell you about the itinerary for the day, as well as set a few safety rules for the tour, so you can enjoy it fully. They will also distribute the thermal suits, you'll wear to stay warm throughout this adventure in the Arctic.

Then, it's time to go! You'll be transported to the harbor and board a comfortable, spacious boat with viewing decks and panoramic windows, from where you'll be able to observe the stunning landscapes of the fjords, and the whales swimming around you. You'll sail along the crystal-clear Arctic waters of the fjord and snow-capped peaks with a warm drink in your hands, as you head toward rich herring feeding grounds, where the whales usually hand out. Your captain is passionate about keeping you and the whales safe and comfortable, so they will keep a safe distance from the ones you find, but since the whales are as curious about you as you are about them, there's a large probability that they will come swim around the boat, so you can see them from up close.

Keep in mind that, as much as your instructor wants you to observe the whales and other wildlife of the Norwegian fjords, they can't guarantee that you will, since the animals are in their natural environment and might simply not be there or no come to the surface. Other than that, to go whale -watching in Alta, you should remember to bring bring very warm layers to wear under the thermal suit, including wool or thermal underwear, extra layers on top, and even a wind and waterproof jacket that you'll wear under the suit. You should also bring a hat, scarf, gloves, snacks, and anything else you might need (medicine, glasses, etc.) to have a good time on this experience.

Take your chance to explore and discover the incredible landscapes provided by the Norwegian fjords and, if you're lucky, observe some of the largest mammals in the world. Book your whale-watching and fjord excursion from Alta today!
