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.

Riggen restaurant can offer you a variety of fish- and meat dishes from our a la carte menu. We also have a dinner buffet every day where we serve traditional norwegian fish- and meat dishes. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday we also offer some Thai dishes in the buffet. If you are a pizza fan, we can provide you with our well known Riggen pizza, happily as take away if you want. Call and order in advance and we will have the pizza ready for you when you arrive.

How cool would it be to have a submarine to follow a #whaledive for a while? We can't do that, but we are planning to install a glass hull on our #whalesafari boat!
Stay tuned for updates 😉
We hope to secure some funding, so we can find out how whales cope with the big quantities of dihydrogen monoxide during their dives.
I hope Corona allows us to visit Norway this summer ...
Yes, like the Great Barrier Reef boats in Australia!!!
Yes, yesssss that would be great. Looking forward our 5. trip with you😍
I wish!

#Belugas are a very rare sight in the Norwegian Sea, but #Hvaldimir has made headlines around the world and still seems reluctant to part from humans. He was seen close to Tromsø a few days ago, and we wish to share with you these pictures, taken by our guide Cristina Milani.
In luglio🥰🥰🥰ad Hammerfest
I had the pleasure to enjoy Hvaldimir in Skjervöy in december💕

Whalesafari has cancelled all tours and activities until May 1st due to the current Coronavirus pandemic.
The whales, however, will still be there after it's over - and we hope that you will join us then.
Updates on our activities will be published weekly, being it at the moment impossible to predict the development of the situation.
Stay safe and do your part to beat the virus by preventing its spreading!
Here you are the schedule of the ferry Andenes - Gryllefjord for the coming summer. We hope it will help you plan your holiday in #northernnorway!

This video and pictures were sent to us from a couple of passengers who joined us on a whale safari in 2005. They had a very nice encounter with a sperm whale approaching the boat. Enjoy! #spermwhale #whalesafariandenes #visitvesteralen Video put together by: Glenn Maan @maanglenn

This winter has not been the best when it comes to weather, but last sunday we finally had conditions good enough to make a #whalesafari . We were fortunate and met a group of #killerwhales in addition to several sightings of sperm whales! www.whalesafari.no Photo (from an earlier trip): Helge Hellesund @helhelg @ Whalesafari Andenes

Although sperm whales are the most common species we encounter on our whale safaris, we may be lucky and meet other types of whales as well. Killer whales (Orcas) are one example. They can be really fun and playful, as this wonderful picture shows. Photo by: @helhelg
Tosi hieno suomennos tämä spermavalaat. Ei ole kääntäjä tiennyt valaista mitään!!!!
Well, this is a perfect shot of a killer whale. Congrats to Helge. I have been very lucky when we encountered Fin whales, Minky whales, pilot whale pods and humpbacks. It's the most amazing Safari in the world!!!
Vi glæder os til sommer 👍😊❤️

In wintertime #spermwhales often group together off Andenes in the #vesteralen. And when the sun shines, low on the horizon, we get an amazing light! These are pictures from yesterday's #whalesafari, taken by our guide Stefan.
