Altafjord
After picking you up from your hotel, the airport, the harbour, or meeting up at the Alta Hurtigbåtterminal we’ll give you a short introduction to the plans for the coming days before transferring you by minibus and boat to the island of Seiland, where your adventure begins. The journey takes about two hours, and once you’ve checked in at Seiland House, you’ll have some free time to relax and explore the beautiful surroundings.
18:30 We serve a traditional Norwegian dinner at our Boat House restaurant. During dinner, you’ll receive more details about the activities as well as the latest weather forecast to help plan your whale watching tours and Northern Lights experiences.
On this first night, you can choose to unwind in our restaurant and bar, enjoy the view from the Northern Lights Amfi, or head out on your own to search for the magical lights near the guest house.
