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.
MENU
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.
We also have to mention our cake buffet on Saturdays where we serve a large variety of cakes at a reasonable price.

Whalesafari Andenes har oppdatert åpningstidene sine.
I går kveld ble jeg oppringt fra en journalist i Bladet Vesterålen, han ville gratulere meg med utmerkelsen fra Tripadvisor. Selv hadde jeg verken hørt eller sett noe om dette og måtte derfor spørre litt og bare svare det lille jeg kunne der og da.
Imidlertid ble jeg nysgjerrig på hva detter dreide seg om og tok meg derfor en tur innom kontoret og må bare si at jeg virkelig fikk meg en stor og trivelig overraskelse.
Vel ble vårt selskap ikke så mange år etter oppstart kåret til "Verdens beste og mest suksessfulle arktiske hvalsafari", et fint kvalitetsstempel det har vært hyggelig å leve med.
Men å få denne kåringen av Tripadvisor er nærmet ufattelig og til de grader hyggelig. Jeg vet ikke om vi er i stand til å forstå verdien av dette.
Med stor takknemlighet er det bare å sende gratulasjonen videre til alle i "Team whalesafari" samt tidligere medarbeidere.A few days ago we got a pleasant surprise and the following message from Tripadvisor:
"You’re in the top 10% of attractions worldwide!
Congratulations Whalesafari Andenes on being a Travelers’ Choice Winner. Each year, we comb through reviews, ratings, and saves from travelers everywhere, and use that info to award the very best. You’re part of an exclusive group, and we want to help you celebrate (and promote) this major accomplishment".
This award is the result of our hard-working team who do their utmost to provide our customers the best possible experience in meeting the giants of the sea. Congratulations to them all...

Tillykke med prisen. 🎉Var på tur i 1991 og det var den beste oplevelse i mit liv. Har dog stadig til gode at tage min familie med på tur til Andenes som er en hyggelig by
Kæmpestort tillykke! 🙂
Stort tillykke
Gratulerer! Dere ga oss et minne for livet🤩
Ett av våra bästa resminnen. Tack. ❤️

You deserve to be proud of course ! But I don’t called it an attraction as you bring us to nature. With full respect for the animals. 🙏
Great! I was there for the first time about 20 years ago when my daughter was 5. I've a wonderful memory of Daniele, he was fantastic with her that was seasick. I'll be back next summer with my grandchildrens 🙂

Disse dager har vi fantastisk vær og flotte #hvalsafari -turer, om enn litt lengre enn vanlig når hvalene befinner seg lenger ute. Her en liten video fra kveldsturen for to dager siden... med hoppende #spekkhoggere!

I thought orcas won't be there in summer time? It is possible, that they are still there in the end of August?
Hei! Har dere aldersgrense? Kommer gjerne i slutten av juli med datteren (9åring) krysse fingrene for spekkhogger❤️❤️❤️🤞🤞🤞🤞

Hvis du er glad i natur, vil du elske Andøy! Videoen viser også flotte bilder på hvaler...kan du si hva de ulike hvaltypene heter? 🐳🐬🐋
If you like nature, you will love our island, Andøy! This video also shows you fantastic pictures of whales...
Can you tell us which whale species you see? 🐳🐬🐋
(the text is in Norwegian but the pictures speak for themselves 😉)
#whales #hvaler #naturephotography #andøy #vesterålen
Utenfor #Vesterålen ser vi bare spermhvalhanner, som drar til Syden for å møte hunnene. Hvordan vet vi det? Jo, vi har samlet ID-bilder (på halen) siden sent på 80-tallet, som forskere både lokalt og internasjonalt kan få tilgang til. Her er én av hvalene som er blitt fotografert både her og ved Azorene!
Off #vesteralen we only see male sperm whales, who swim south to meet the females. How do we know that? Well, we've taken ID-pictures (of the flukes) since the late '80s, that researchers both locally and internationally can get access to. Here you see one of the whales that have been photographed both here and off the Azores!

Gosh the sperm whale head looks like the original one? I repaired teeth and paint work many times in the 90s in the basement museum, what fun it was!😃
Been there last summer... Beautiful!
