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.

Andenes is getting ready to share its Natural Heritage Resources with visitors from around the globe through a Hvalsafari AS project supported by “Innovasjon Norge”. “Breathing Andenes” will improve the marine wildlife tourism experience in Andenes by offering new tourism products and services based on scientific knowledge. The main goals of the project are to minimise the disturbance on the animals, develop a scientific tourism programme, promote the development of local communities, and bring to light the local natural heritage through a territorial marketing strategy. The research activities will bring a positive change in the products the company offers, as well as the transfer of knowledge to locals and visitors, and develop protocols to minimise disturbance of the animals, which will also improve tourist satisfaction. This project will run through 2021 and 2022 and will be jointly led by Dr Raquel de la Cruz-Modino, anthropologist and associate professor at the University of La Laguna (Spain), Dr Mel Cosentino, cetacean biologist and ecologist, and Gabriela Bellazzi, marketing digital expert specialised in whale watching tourism.

The elevated metro train was left balancing on the monument in the Netherlands, which stopped it from plunging into the water below and saved the life of its driver.
Last Friday we were so lucky to sail on a flat sea and we observed #spermwhales 4 times! Tomorrow it's going to be windy, so we plan our next #whalesafari on Tuesday 13th October.
