See humpback whales and orcas from a spacious catamaran. In winter, the whales follow the herring into the fjords outside Alta. The boat is 24.9 metres long and 9 metres wide, with a cruising speed of 18–20 knots. The heated saloon seats 85. Outside there is plenty of room to watch and take photos: a large aft deck of about 50 m², plus areas around the wheelhouse and on the forward deck. Along the way, your guide talks about the whales, their migration and life in the fjords. When we find whales, the captain adjusts speed and distance so you get a good view without disturbing the animals. The whales are curious and sometimes come closer to the boat on their own. You can move freely between the saloon and the decks. Onboard there are two toilets, one of them accessible, and a service counter with drinks and light refreshments. These are wild animals, so we cannot guarantee whales on every trip. The start and end of the season may change with the whales' migration.
