As we head out onto the fjord, you’ll be surrounded by the stunning Arctic coastal landscape. Each autumn, the Alta Fjord becomes a natural gathering point for herring, attracting large pods of whales. This is one of the best places in Northern Norway for whale watching, where orcas, humpback whales, and fin whales are frequent visitors – offering breathtaking opportunities for observation and photography.
The wildlife experience doesn’t stop there – keep your eyes on the skies! The majestic White-Tailed Eagle, known as the “lord of the skies,” rules this region and can often be spotted soaring above. Alongside, you may encounter a wide variety of seabirds that thrive in this rich ecosystem.
Our boat MS Kautokeino is heated and equipped with comfortable indoor seating, as well as a spacious outdoor deck for those who wish to get even closer to nature. Whether you prefer to watch from the warmth of inside or feel the fresh Arctic breeze on the deck, you will be perfectly placed for unforgettable encounters.
