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.

Like many others stuck at home, we are tidying up... in our photo folders. We want to share with you some pictures from a beautiful day, a sighting of #humpbackwhales off #andenes this summer.
Som mange andre som er nødt til å holde seg hjemme, rydder vi... i våre fotomapper. Her deler vi noen bilder fra en flott dag, en observasjon av #knølhval utenfor #andenes i sommer.

We always talk about how important whales are for healthy oceans.
Sometimes they can support humans in other ways... 😲
Derailed Dutch train saved by whale's tail sculpture
newseu.cgtn.com
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.If only we could return the support and help all the whales on this earth...so they are safe and stay healthy in the future..❤
Only in the Netherlands 😂
I had just left the country 😬😂
Police in the Netherlands have reconstructed the accident for further investigation
Whalesafari Andenes - Hvalsafari Andenes har oppdatert åpningstidene sine.
Hope to come next year for our third whalesafari 🥰
Great boat
From our latest safari... a double rainbow! in the sky and in a #spermwhale blow 🙂
We wish everyone a nice week!
Fra vår siste safari...dobbel regnbue! På himmelen og i en #spermhval blåst 🙂
Vi ønsker alle sammen en fin ny uke!

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.
På fredag var vi så heldig med været...flatt hav og vi observerte #spermhvaler 4 ganger!

*Glenn is back!* It was a long time since we'd seen this #spermwhale, but he has actually visited the waters off #andenes for 26 years! The beautiful weather didn't hurt... ☀️
*Glenn er tilbake!* Det var en stund siden vi så denne #spermhvalen, men han har faktisk besøkt havet utenfor #andenes i hele 26 år! Det var ikke så ille med været heller... ☀️

Prostě nádhera 🥰
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...

Gratulerer 🤗🤗🤗vel fortjent 😊
😍 Gratulerer 👏👏👍

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. 🙏

Hi, I am thinking about your tours. Which hour provides more opportunity to see a whale?
Vi har sett masse #grindhvaler og #spekkhoggere i det siste, i tillegg til #spermhval. Her er noen bilder på vanlig og uvanlig atferd 🐬
We have seen a lot of #pilotwhales and #killerwhales lately, in addition to #spermwhales. Here you are some pictures of common, and uncommon, behaviour 🐬

These days we have amazing weather and great #whalesafari tours, even if a little longer than usual when the whales are further offshore. Here you have a clip from our evening tour two days ago... #killerwhales jumping! (filmed with a mobile phone)
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!

Spennende ettermiddagstur på havet i dag! Vi oppdaget hoppende #knølhval nord for Andenes! 😍
I området var også en stor flokk med kvitnos #delfiner (bilder kommer)
Exciting afternoon at sea today! We watched breaching #humpbacks north of Andenes! 😍
In the area there was also a large pod of white-beaked #dolphins (pictures will come)
