      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.

      Orcas and Humpbacks in Alta

      Sabine_P, Nov 2025
      We were super lucky today: the weather was good (apart from being cold) and we saw a large Orca family feeding with at least the Humpbacks joining them. Sea eagle and sea gulls were everywhere - and they were close to the RIB. Manon was our lady driver and she did a great job driving and making everyone feel comfortable. You get all the necessary gear so you won’t get cold. You even get served a hot drink and some chocolate on the RIB! Well done ladies and thank you for an unforgettable morning! ❤️

      This is a must do when in...

      It was such a fun boat ride. Even though we didn't see many whales, the experice of seeing the fjord from the water was amazing.

      Magic

      Ein tolles Erlebnis mit einem RIB

      Thomas_L, Nov 2024
      An unserem dritten Aufenthaltstag in Alta haben wir bei Æventyr über Viator eine Walsafari gebucht. Der Pickup erfolgte kurz vor 9 Uhr am Kreuzfahrtliegeplatz und hat pünktlich funktioniert. Nach einer kurzen Van-Fahrt in den Ort wurden wir eingewiesen und erhielten unsere Schutzanzüge, die uns wie übergroße Minions haben aussehen lassen. Unsere beiden Guides Anneken und Tura haben uns per RIB (jeweils 12 Gäste) zum Altafjord gefahren, in dem wir an diesem Tag etliche Orca-Sichtungen hatten, und auch Finn- und Buckelwale sehen konnten. Die beiden sind sehr behutsam in angemessener Entfernung zu den Walen gefahren und haben auch den Motor ausgestellt, um die Tiere nicht zu stören. Es war keine "Waljagd", wie man es von anderen Anbietern vielleicht gehört hat. Die Wale haben sich auch nicht durch uns stören lassen und zogen gemütlich ihre Bahnen. Die Fahrt im RIB hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und man war schneller und wendiger als die großen Beobachtunsboote. Wir können die Tour nur empfehlen.

      The best Adventure , Wir haben uns sehr gefreut

      Berthold_B, Nov 2024
      Es war die beste Entscheidung, die wir treffen konnten. Wir haben sehr viele Wale 🐋 gesehen , Der Ausflug war absolut organisiert, sehr professionell. Es sind keine Wünsche übrig geblieben.
