Join us in the area of Alta from October until January for snorkeling with orcas and humpback whales. If we are lucky, we can also see Fin whales and Sperm whales. The whales follow the herring, and this time of year is an eldorado here in the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching these fascinating whales at close range underwater is a once in a life time experience. We provide dry-suits and snorkel equipment, but you are also welcome to bring your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have many fully booked tours, especially for snorkelling. If the trip is full, it’s possible to register for a waiting list. This is done in the calendar where you book the trip. We are opening at full capacity and will therefore not be able to increase capacity further once we are fully booked. If anyone cancels, we will contact those on our waiting list. We have no way of calculating the chance of this happening.\u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not arrange transportation. You can visit the Visit Alta website for transportation options. Here you will also find accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For snorkeling activities we provide with a dry suit, which includes boots, neoprene hood and gloves. We recommend warm technical clothing, including socks, preferably wool, to dress underneath the suit (2 layers). Spare warm hat and waterproof gloves can also be helpful if you want to change on the way back on the boat, in a waterproof bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 We remind you that due to the given weather conditions at sea, it may sometimes only be possible to do whale watching and not snorkeling. The minimum age to do snorkeling is 15 years old. Before joining our snorkeling trip, you are required to sign a medical waiver demonstrating that you are physically fit and comfortable in the water to take part in the activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
