Experiences

The wilderness starts outside the door

From king crab in the Barents Sea to northern lights over the quay, and some of the best conditions anywhere for Arctic seabirds. Here is what we offer, what it costs and when it runs.

The trips run with local guides and local boats, and are set up around the weather and the size of the group. That is why we confirm most of them by email rather than automatically — tell us when you want to go out and how many you are, and we will find a time.
