You will receive proper guidance from our captain on the tour, and a taste of how fishing works in the North. You will also receive guidance in the usage of fishing equipment.
The weather in Alta can vary strongly from day to day, even hourly, however this is one of the charms of Finnmark. The fishermen here in North have learned over the years what good clothing suits the fjords, and we recommend the same for our guests.

- Fleece jacket, woolen sweater or any other middle layer jacket.
