Top 10 best day of my life - Valerie does an amazing tour with her small boat. She and her crew made me feel at home right away and we could chat and have a tee, coffee and cookies on the short 25min journey out into the Alta fjord. We were lucky enough to see Finwhales, Orca and Humbacks which all got very close to the boat even though Valerie always tries to keep distance to the animals as to not disturb them. He captain is a former fisherman and seemed to have a sixth sense on where the whales would appear. We saw them almost all the time during our 4 hour trip. I loved how excited Valerie herself got every time we saw an animal. You could feel the passion with which she runs this company. As a small local business I would always choose her tours over those of bigger companies because I know my money supports her directly.

Great guide and experience! - Valerie was an amazing guide! She was very informative and was able to communicate effectively with the different groups on the trip (German, English, Norwegian). The ship captain and team were also very knowledgeable. They had scouted the fjord in the morning before the trip, so they were able to find whales quite quickly. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side, so while we saw humpback whales fleetingly, we had to head back to land due to the storm. No regrets! Thank you Valerie!

Whale Watching - what a fantastic experience! - This day was unbelievable, with such great weather and so many sightings. There is no guarantee to see whales when out on these trips, but with an experienced crew the chances are better – and this day was amazing! Guide Valerie and the Sea Runner team provided stories and information during the day and managed to find areas where we were extremely lucky to be able to see many orcas and some humpback whales. I chose finnmark moods because I preferred to be on a smaller boat with access to a heated indoor area and a bathroom, and this was perfect! Remember warm clothes, including hat and gloves – it can be cold out on deck. Highly recommended!

Valerie's Exciting Adventure. - Valerie and the skipper were really informative and helpful. Just disappointing the weather closed in to restrict visibility to less than 10 metres. Valerie's bubbly conversation and attention to all the participants was a highlight. Congratulations and all the best for the future.
