About this activity
Experience the Arctic – King Crab Safari in Kirkenes
Discover one of Northern Norway's most extraordinary winter experiences on a full-day adventure from Finnish Lapland to Kirkenes.
Unlike traditional coach tours with fixed departure days and designated meeting points, this experience offers daily departures and convenient door-to-door transportation by a comfortable small-group vehicle. Enjoy a more flexible journey, ideal for families, couples and friends travelling together.
Your Arctic adventure begins with pick-up from your accommodation in Saariselkä,Ivalo or Inari. Sit back and enjoy the breathtaking winter scenery as you travel across Finnish Lapland and into Norway, passing snow-covered forests, remote Arctic landscapes and beautiful northern wilderness.
Upon arrival at Kirkenes, meet your professional guide and prepare for the highlight of your journey: the King Crab Safari.
Dress in warm thermal clothing and board a sleigh pulled by a snowmobile. Travel across the frozen fjord to the king crab fishing area, where your guide will demonstrate how the giant Arctic king crabs are caught using traditional traps. Learn about these impressive creatures and enjoy the opportunity to take memorable photos.
After the safari, return to the resort and savour a freshly prepared king crab meal, served in traditional Northern Norwegian style.
Following the experience, relax during the scenic return journey to Finland, with drop-off directly at your accommodation.
