Alta Riverboat Safari – An Adventure Through Northern Norway's Wild Heart

Set off on a peaceful yet exciting riverboat journey against the current of the stunning Alta River. As you glide through gentle rapids, you’ll be surrounded by the serene beauty of lush forests, where pine, birch, and aspen trees line the banks, and small houses and farms dot the landscape. Look closely, and you might even spot a golden eagle soaring gracefully above the treetops.

As the journey continues, the scenery shifts. The river’s path becomes narrower, and the mountains and cliffs gradually loom closer, giving the landscape a more dramatic, rugged feel. You’ll soon pass through several lively rapids, adding a touch of excitement to the experience, before reaching the magnificent Alta Canyon, or "Gabo," where the imposing cliffs of Northern Europe’s largest river canyon dominate the view.

This riverboat safari is the longest, taking you deep into the wilderness as the river twists and turns through remote terrain. While the rapids are thrilling, rest assured that your experienced boatmen will ensure your safety at all times.

The journey takes you through the Alta Canyon, a natural wonder that is not to be missed. Remember to dress warmly, as the cool waters and fresh breezes can make the air feel crisp.

On your return, we relax with a warm cup of coffee or tea, the perfect end to a day spent exploring the wild beauty of this extraordinary landscape.
