Whale Watching Tour in Alta
★ 4.5 · 50 reviewsBy Icecube of Aurora
Set out on a captivating whale watching tour in Alta Fjord and discover the rich marine life of Northern Norway. During the winter months, Alta Fjord becomes a prime location for spotting various species of whales, including killer whales (orcas) and sperm whales.
The tour offers a rare opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, along with playful hourglass dolphins and porpoises. Although the winter chill is present, the chance to observe these majestic animals makes it worthwhile. You’ll be guided by an experienced captain who knows the best spots for whale sightings.
Please note: There is no guarantee that you will always see whales or that the weather conditions will be optimal for spotting them.

Policy on Rescheduling Tours Due to Weather Conditions
-

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. If you does not attend the tour at the rescheduled date and time, the original booking remains valid, and payment for the tour will still be required in full.
-
If you are late for the tour, the boat will wait max 10 minutes after the tour's starting time and then leave for the tour. You will then be reported as a no-show and not eligible for a refund.
