Activity description
Discover the hidden secrets of Alta’s historical naval base while surrounded with the Fjord’s extraordinary wildlife.
Aboard a RIB boat, this trip will take you on a tour of the Altafjord. You will discover the ruins of Finnmark’s World War Two naval base, which still stations several big battleships. The boat will also show you around Altafjord’s rich biodiversity. Depending on the season, you will zoom along the cold Norwegian waters beside whales, seals, sea eagles and more.
This trip starts with a briefing in our Explorer Store, where we will provide you with warm thermal suits and safety equipment in order to be comfortable and secure at sea. We will then transport you to the port where our RIB is located.
