King Crab Safari Summer

Our fisherman-guide will pick you up at your hotel in Kirkenes, if requested. You will be driven to the king crab pier, where your guide provides warm clothing and a safety briefing before boarding the RIB (boat). During the boat trip you will learn about king crab and traditional fishing, as well as some of wartime history of the region.

Next, you help pull up the crab pots and bring the catch to our rustic boathouse restaurant on the opposite side of the fjord. After some photos, the crabs are prepared while you enjoy coffee or tea. The crab legs are served Northern Norwegian style with bread, butter, mayonnaise, and lemon, and you are shown how to open them properly. Additional drinks are available for purchase. After your King Crab meal, transportation will be provided to return you to your hotel.

Note: The safari departs from the King Crab pier in Kirkenes from May to mid-September. During other periods, the starting point for the safari will be at the Snow Resort.
