About the experience

Explore Altafjord's UNESCO sites and meet king crabs on this rib safari

Our unique Altafjord is rich in culture, wildlife, and a nutrient-filled fjord that has sustained human life for thousands of years. During the journey from Alta Harbor to our harbor, you will experience spectacular nature close to the city and gain insights into our unique history, including the rock art of Alta, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Upon arrival at our harbor, you’ll encounter the mighty king crab in our aquarium and learn about its fascinating history, as well as how it is utilized today as both a fishery resource and a culinary delicacy. You’ll also get a taste of this delicacy before we head back.

Inspired by your encounter with the king crab, you may also choose to book a king crab platter in our restaurant or enjoy a delicious local fish soup made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. These might include cod, halibut, pollock, or salmon. This must be pre-booked when reserving your tour.
