Riggen restaurant is located on the first floor at the whale centre which is situated close by Andenes lighthouse. Here you can enjoy a panoramic view of Andenes harbor and the great Atlantic ocean while enjoying good food and drinks. In the summer time you can enjoy the midnight sun crossing over the sky and in the winter time you might get a good look at the Northern Lights or a stormy ocean. Before noon and some hours into the afternoon, the restaurant functions as a café as well. Riggen dancebar is located upstairs and can offer you a nice evening in the same beautiful surroundings.

Så vakkert .👍⭐️
A very beautiful picture! 👑 How often is the aurora borealis visible over Andenes during winter?
You know that these days in #andenes the sun doesn't rise... but could you guess that the moon doesn't set? 😲 It nearly touches the horizon in the north, like the midnight sun in summer, and then...up again. 🌖 🌍
We have now canceled our Trip a second Time😔
A year in #andenes means meeting a lot of #whales. So here's a calendar with lovely pictures taken by our guide Stefan. Maybe a nice gift? 🎁
You'll find it as A4 with ISBN 9783674102201, or a larger with ISBN 9783674102218
is there a link to order it?

Lucie Mtc trop bon souvenir !
Finding food (echolocation) is just one of the functions of #spermwhale clicks, which can also be used for social communication.
Will scientists manage to decode their signals?

An ambitious project is attempting to interpret sperm whale clicks with artificial intelligence, then talk back to them.I love this. Dori believes herself and her skills. youtu.be/jJGeeryk0Eo
Following sperm whale sounds through our underwater microphones, we can find them even when the fog is closing in on us... 🐳🎙

Lovely 😍
already been there and we loved it
I was there that day! It was great! And gived the crew snaps afterwards 😇
🌬🌊A storm passing in the northern Norwegian sea is no weather for a boat trip.
Birds like #fulmars, though, have great fun in this weather, using the storms to fly effortlessly over hundreds of kilometres!
Of course we meet them also in calmer conditions...

#Finwhales are faster than their blow! 🐋
But we managed to approach not one, but three of them today!
...in addition to #orcas and #spermwhales!
We have whale safaris planned throughout the autumn 🍂 for booking www.whalesafari.no

Tack för en helt magisk och oförglömlig upplevelse
Hey guys, this is fantastic! But the cruise that we joined was also quite spectacular! You can join on youtu.be/-0RvTh2b_ss
We've had incredible #safaris in the last days, when we met #orcas, #finwhales and #spermwhales in the same area! 🤩
The forecast says that there will be nice weather in the next days - we look forward to going to sea again!

It’s refreshing and comforting to see these animals swim free and happy. Unlike the poor 1400 dolphins that were killed in the #faroeislands this week.
We are really looking forward to the safaris this weekend, after some great tours in the last days. Can you recognize all these three #whale species? 🐳🐬🐋

In orden of appearance: Minke Whales, Orcas, and Sperm Whales?
The whales in the first picture are *fin whales* - the second largest species on planet Earth, after the blue whale. The others are orcas (of which a calf, with yellowish eye patch), and the king of Bleik Canyon, the sperm whale 🙂
Michaela Treiber das könntet ihr auch machen!
