Fun Alta excursion! - Friendly people who really try to get you in front of a whale. We were struggling to find any whales and he boat captain took off across the fjord and found an entire pod of orcas, who looked incredible. I would recommend wearing every warm layer you have as the included clothing is nice but not sufficient, especially for colder days.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience, totally recommended. I was lucky that we had a wonderful day and we saw so many orcas, humpback, and fin whales. We were surrounded. The captain was very knowledgeable and funny in his own way. :) I went twice.

Whale safari - Amazing trip with experienced crew. I would recommend Æventyr for everyone that visit Alta. Might seem a bit expensive, but definitely worth it.

Wonderful Trip but Check Details! - We had a wonderful time on this trip to see whales in Alta. Just make sure you check all the details, as the reality of our trip was nothing like the details listed here. We drove 5 minutes to a harbour in Alta and boarded a RIB with only 6 other people. It was brilliant to be on such a small boat and able to go so fast and we were given lots of clothing to keep us warm. However it was still freezing as we were exposed to the elements and after the first few hours we were really struggling. We did see fin whales close up which was amazing! When we got back they provided us with a hot drink and chicken wrap - for the price we were expecting a little bit more than this! But it was still a fantastic trip and the people who ran it were wonderful and kept us safe and happy. Just be prepared to be outside in the arctic elements for many hours and wear as much as you possibly can!
