Private tour: King Crab Boat Tour
★ 4.7 · 50 reviewsBy Icecube of Aurora



Embark on an unforgettable 2-hour journey through Alta Fjord, where you'll experience the thrill of capturing and holding a live red king crab. Begin your adventure at Fiskerihavna in Alta, where you'll meet your captain and receive safety gear, including warm coveralls and life jackets for colder days.
You'll then head to the king crab fields, where the crew expertly uses a box-shaped trap, called a "pot," to catch the impressive red king crabs. Once the crabs are safely onboard, you'll have the unique opportunity to hold one and snap some amazing photos as souvenirs of your adventure.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply looking for a unique activity, this king crab tour offers an exciting hands-on experience.

Should you choose to reschedule rather than cancel, and a new date and time are agreed upon between you and the captain, this new arrangement becomes binding.
