Tour itinerary
Cruise to the fjords from Tromso
Duration: 5-6 hours
Pick up at the meeting point and boarding of the ferry.
We will meet at the scheduled time at the meeting point and you will board the ferry to head south towards the Ramfjord fjord. During the crossing, the guide will tell you stories of the marine life that flourishes here and even of the Olavsvern Cold War, which had a lot to do with Tromso and Norway in general.
Visit to an old fishing facility
Once we leave Ramfjord, we will continue to an old fishing facility on the island of Kvaløya. We will pass through Ristraumen, a well-known local fishing area with a strong current. When we arrive at the fishing facility, you will step ashore and learn more about how important the fishing industry was to the history of Northern Norway and still is to this day, and how it has brought life to families and culture.
In addition, the guide will show you one of the traditional cod driers and invite you to taste this mythical delicacy.
Arctic fjord cruise and deep sea observation.
We will re-embark so that you can continue to enjoy the Arctic scenery. Therefore, the entire crew will keep an eye out for wildlife that can be spotted along the way, from white-tailed eagles and other birds to fish. If we are very lucky, you may even see some reindeer. We have binoculars on board that you can borrow for an even better view.
In addition, weather permitting, we will deploy an underwater drone so that you can observe the depths of the sea live - quite a spectacle of nature!
Return to Tromso
Finally, our captain will set sail back to Tromso and we will dock at the pier closest to the meeting point after 4 or 5 hours from the start of the tour.
We hope you enjoyed the beauty of the Norwegian winter!
