Embark on a captivating journey through Alta's rich history and natural wonders. Our unique Altafjord has sustained human life for millennia, thanks to its nutrient-rich waters and diverse wildlife. As you depart from Alta Harbor, marvel at the spectacular surroundings that have inspired countless generations.

Upon arrival at our harbor, come face-to-face with the mighty king crab in our aquarium. You'll learn about how this crab came to the Barents Sea, how it's become a valuable part of the local fishing industry, and how it's caught and prepared as a delicacy. You'll even get to taste some of the delicious king crab meat.

Next, visit the Alta Museum, where you'll have an hour to explore thought-provoking exhibitions that showcase Alta's rich history.

The ancient rock carvings, known as petroglyphs, date back 7,000 years and depict scenes of hunting, fishing, and everyday life, offering a fascinating glimpse into the lives of our ancestors. The Struve Geodetic Arc, a groundbreaking 19th-century scientific endeavor, helped determine the Earth's size and shape.
