When the winter herring move into the fjords, the whales follow. In a small group, you see humpback whales and orcas up close. When we spot whales, we cut the engine and glide in quietly so we do not disturb them. They are often curious and come close to the boat. The guides know these waters well and tell you about the whales' behaviour. Coffee, toddy and snacks are served at Canyon Hotel after the tour. The whole trip takes about 3.5 hours, including transport and coffee afterwards. Because of the cold, we spend about 1 hour on the water.

The team is so helpful and they really take care to make it a good stay, very personal and considering. Like visiting friends y...
(Translated by Google) It's perfect for a hotel tucked away in the countryside. The meals are delicious and the rooms are comfortable. And a great spot to watch the Northern Lights.

Vahva suositus paikalle ihan jo pelkästään henkilökunnan ystävällisyyden vuoksi.
Идеально! Место просто великолепное. Дом под горой. Тишина. Кухня прекрасна. Каждый день новое меню, но необольщайтесь гурманы, готовится одно блюдо и подаётся всем. Цена для Норвегии не кусается. Персонал приветливый. По возможности помогут. Самое главное в номере нет телевизора!
Great place, we come back again
