Embark on an unforgettable adventure through the stunning Altafjord on our exhilarating RIB boat tour. As you speed across the water from Alta Harbor to our king crab harbor, you’ll have the opportunity to take in the awe-inspiring scenery that surrounds you. The fjord’s rugged coastline, dotted with majestic mountains and Arctic tundra, is a testament to the raw beauty of this unique landscape.
During your journey, our knowledgeable guides will share fascinating insights into the region’s rich history and culture. You’ll learn about the Alta rock carvings, a UNESCO World Heritage site that dates back thousands of years. These ancient petroglyphs, etched into the rock by our ancestors, depict scenes of daily life, hunting, and fishing, offering a unique glimpse into the past.
As you approach our harbor, you’ll feel the excitement build as you prepare to meet the star of the show: the mighty king crab. Our state-of-the-art aquarium is home to these impressive creatures, and you’ll have the chance to get up close and personal with them. Learn about their incredible journey from the depths of the Barents Sea to your dinner plate, and discover the important role they play in the local fishing industry.
After marveling at the king crabs, you’ll have the opportunity to taste their succulent meat before heading back to Alta Harbor. And if you’re hungry for more, you can pre-book a king crab platter or a hearty local fish soup at our restaurant, featuring the freshest seasonal ingredients sourced from the surrounding waters.
This RIB boat tour is not just a thrilling ride through the Altafjord, but also a journey through time and taste. Don’t miss your chance to experience the best that Alta has to offer, from its breathtaking natural wonders to its delicious local cuisine.
