Arctic Express Alta-Tromsø with Whale Safari (one way) – Barents Sea, Norway

EXPERIENCE

Travel from Alta to Tromsø on a whale watching excursion and a comfortable journey between two incredible Arctic destinations, each with its own unique charm.

Start your tour from Alta and travel through the majestic beauty of the Norwegian fjords to Øksfjord and then further on to your destination, Tromsø.

On the first part of the tour we stop at the best location, when the light is at its best, to watch whales. Prepare for breathtaking moments as you witness the ocean’s most magnificent creatures up close. From graceful humpback whales to powerful orcas, these majestic animals glide through the water with awe-inspiring beauty and power.

With expert guides onboard, learn fascinating facts about these whales’ behavior, migration patterns, and importance to the local ecosystem.

Midway through your voyage, enjoy a brief stop in Øksfjord, a charming fishing village nestled amidst towering mountains and glistening waters. Take in the stunning arctic landscapes, snap some photos of the tranquil surroundings, or simply stretch your legs as you soak up the peaceful atmosphere.

This tour is not just about whale watching – it’s also a fantastic transport option from Alta to Tromsø, offering incredible panoramic views along the way. As you glide through the fjords, be surrounded by dramatic landscapes of rugged mountains, serene islands, and deep-blue waters.

If the conditions are right, we stop to observe the Northern Lights, the Aurora Borealis. This is a magical view. It’s even better at sea on the right day, when the colorful lights dance in the sky and reflects on the water surface.

Your journey concludes in the vibrant city of Tromsø, known as the “Gateway to the Arctic.” Famous for its stunning natural beauty, lively culture, and northern lights displays, Tromsø is a memorable destination to explore.
