After picking you up from your hotel, the airport, the harbour, or meeting up at our office at Komsaveien 2 we’ll give you a short introduction to the plans for the coming days before transferring you by minibus and boat thought the Altafjord 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.

Seiland National Park

In Northern Norway, weather conditions guide our plans, so this can change the starting time for the whale-watching tour — the exact schedule will be confirmed during breakfast, based on the latest forecast. 7:30 to 9:30 Breakfast. 10:00 to 14:00 Whale-watching tour, exploring majestic fjords and pristine Arctic waters where these incredible creatures roam freely. Our expert captain and knowledgeable guide will take you to the best spots for observing whales and other local wildlife in their natural habitat. 15:00 Light meal of homemade soup and bread, followed by some relaxation time in our outdoor sauna, beautifully set beside a river flowing down from the mountains. 18:30 Traditional dinner at restaurant. 20:00 First guided Northern Lights hunt. Sometimes, the lights can even be seen right from the lodge! On clear nights, we may also light a bonfire behind the house, where you can stay warm on reindeer skins, watching the sky dance with colour.

Seiland National Park

Our second day of activities will follow a similar rhythm, focusing once again on whale watching — with time for you to get a glimpse into local island life. 7:30 to 9:30 Breakfast. After breakfast, you’ll receive the updated schedule for the day’s whale-watching tour, which, as always, depends on the weather and sea conditions. 10:00 to 14:00 Whale-watching tour. 15:00 Enjoy a light homemade meal of soup and bread while relaxing and sharing stories and photos from your adventures with the group. You’ll then have time to unwind once again in our outdoor sauna and this time also with a hot tub time included, both set beside a peaceful river. 18:30 Traditional dinner at restaurant. After dinner, our bar will offer a selection of fresh Caribbean-style cocktails for purchase—an unexpected and refreshing treat in the Arctic. 20:00 The night will end with our second guided Northern Lights excursion, exploring the surrounding areas in search of another magical display in the Arctic sky.

Alta

On Sunday, we’ll spend a short but memorable morning on the island — the perfect moment to say goodbye to this fjord landscape paradise. 7:00 Breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll embark back to the city of Alta, enjoying the scenic journey one last time. 8:00 Transfer from Seiland to Alta. Upon arrival to the city of Alta approximately at 10:00, we’ll transfer you to your hotel or the airport, depending on your onward travel plans.
