Explore Seiland National Park

The trip starts with a short brief in our premises and dressing of suits and other equipment, to explore the Altafjord in a safe and comfortable way, in a RIB boat. We will drive past areas with historically worthy and beautiful nature in the inner parts of Altafjord. Further out in the fjord we will see higher and alpine mountains. The destination of the trip is Bekkarfjord which is located in Seiland National Park. Here we leave the boat and go up through the magical landscape, along the Melkeelva and up a few meters. we get a glimpse of Seilandsjøkulen, which is mainland Europe’s northernmost glacier.

After a great walk, we have lunch down by the shore before returning to Alta. We will also have the opportunity to experience wildlife, such as seals and sea eagles up close.Seiland is a unique and beautiful part of Western Finnmark’s island nature, with small and large fjords surrounded by steep mountains that plunge into the sea. Seiland’s two glaciers are the northernmost in Scandinavia. The steep coastal mountains are a breeding ground for a rich population of birds of prey. The ultrabasic bedrock in the south gives rise to a particularly lush plant life.
