Arctic Fjord Cruise
Cruise with us on our hybrid-electric boat and amplify your experience with unspoiled nature. Spot wildlife both above and below the water.
As we leave the city of Tromsø behind us, you will be able to admire the skyline of the third largest city in the Arctic Circle in the morning light. We will set course South to one of the beautiful fjords in the region; Ramfjord. From the marine life that flourishes here to the historic cold war facility of Olavsvern, the fjord is rich with stories. As the winter progresses and the climate turns colder, Ramfjord is known to freeze over for a large part, creating a beautiful scenery.
Once we leave Ramfjord, we continue to an old fishing facility on the island of Kvaløya. We pass by Ristraumen, a heavy current and a well-known local fishing spot. From here you will have a fantastic view over both Kvaløya as well as Malangen. When we get to the fishing facility, you will step on land and learn more about how important the fishing industry was for the history of northern Norway and still is to this day and how it has shaped families and culture.
Our guides will show you the traditional and famous drying racks that are dotted over the Norwegian coast and are used to make ‘stockfish’. Inside, our guides will provide you with a deeper insight into how the fish goes from fjord to plate, and how things have changed throughout history. Afterwards you will get to try a little taste of the very products that were produced here and are still being made.
Throughout the day our guides & captain will keep an eye out for some of the wildlife that can be spotted during the tour.
