Visiting Finnmark in the winter can be recommended! We have a wonderful light here in the winter months. You also have the opportunity to experience the world’s largest mammal, the whales, in the Altafjord. This trip combines both fjord and whale safaris. The most common whale species is humpback whales, but killer whales can also be seen. You will be dressed in warm winter suits, but we recommend that you dress well with wool underwear. We adjust the starting point by boat based on where the whales are located. This can involve 1-2 hours by car to give you a comfortable and warm experience and the best chances to see whales. You will also have the opportunity to see other wildlife and get stories from the Altafjord.
