Day 5
EXPLORE The indigenous culture
With our guide you will set out from Alta in the morning, heading south towards the town of Kautokeino. Kautokeino is the municipality in Norway with the most Sami-speaking inhabitants. The site is in a very sparsely populated area south of Finnmarksvidda, and reindeer herding has been the main industry for hundreds of years. The traditional way of life is still strong. Here you will be introduced to a life in balance with nature where events depend on the reindeer, not on modern times.
You will have a stop at the first workshop for silver jewelry in Finnmark, established in 1959.
Day 6

With your guide you will set off to Alta harbor. You will be equipped with snug, warm suits, which are necessary for the upcoming boating adventure. Start your search for what some consider to be a prized delicacy. The experienced guide will let you in on local secrets and tell you stories revolving around the king crab and the history of the area, while you enjoy something warm to drink. After some King Crab encounters, we head back to the lodge to taste the beasts in a delicious lunch at the Lavvo restaurant.
After lunch, you will be picked up at the lodge and driven to the Husky farm. You will learn how to prepare and when everything is ready the dogs will be eager to set off for some dog sledding. We open the gates and head into the forest. As you get back to the kennel a true fine dining experience awaits you in the restaurant.
Day 7
Whale safari and Igloos
In winter the herring migrate across the arctic ocean coast to their wintering grounds in the Norwegian Sea and the whales follow. That is why November through to February, the waters in this area are some of the best in the world for whale spotting. Together with your private captain, you will set out through the open water in a warm and comfortable boat. As you scan the seas for any signs of whale spray or a tail fluke, you will learn all about the lives of these fascinating creatures, who roam the world’s oceans on their lifelong journey. You may also encounter some of the region’s flourishing marine and bird life, such as the great cormorant or the majestic sea eagle.
