Boat Trip from Tromsø to Alta with Orca & Whale Watching

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on a very special journey between two incredible Arctic destinations with our boat trip from Tromsø to Alta, featuring whale watching! Departing from the vibrant city of Tromsø, known for its dramatic landscapes and diverse cultural experiences, you will be on board the spacious MS Keiser Wilhelm. With large windows providing panoramic views, the boat offers a warm and cozy salon to relax in, or you can step onto the deck to feel the fresh Arctic air. As we travel, you will have the unique opportunity to witness the majestic whales up close. From elegant humpback whales to mighty killer whales, these magnificent creatures glide through the water with awe-inspiring beauty. Our knowledgeable guides will share fascinating insights into their behaviour and migration patterns.

Halfway through our trip, we will make a brief stop in the charming fishing village of Øksfjord. Nestled among towering mountains and sparkling waters, this picturesque location allows you to stretch your legs, capture stunning photographs, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. As we continue our journey, the potential sight of the Northern Lights, could add an extra layer of magic to your experience, turning the sky into a canvas of vibrant colours.

Finally, we reach our destination, the peaceful and authentic city of Alta. Known for its fewer tourists, good conditions for observing the Northern Lights, and rich connection to Sami culture, Alta provides a delightful contrast to the hustle and bustle of Tromsø. This tour is ideal for families and nature enthusiasts eager to witness majestic whales up close and explore the unique charm of Tromsø and Alta.
