Who is the fishing tour suitable for?
The fishing tour is suitable for both those with experience in fishing and those who don't have much experience but still want to give it a try. You will receive guidance from the captain on board and leave with a better understanding than before you set out. You will also receive instruction on the proper use of fishing equipment.
What should I wear?
The weather in Alta can vary from day to day, but this is part of the charm of Finnmark. The fishermen here in the north have learned over the years what is suitable for the fjord, and we recommend our customers to follow the same experiences.
