A ready-made programme for groups
The bird cliff and the fishing village
Three days on the Varanger Peninsula, with the gannet colony as the high point
A programme built around what Båtsfjord has that nobody else does: Syltefjordstauran, with the world’s northernmost gannet colony and one of Norway’s largest bird cliffs. We leave time to actually look at it, not just pass it.
