King crab safari in Kirkenes

King Crab Safari Kirkenes by Terje Rakke, Nordic Life, Visit Norway

Join an exciting king crab safari with a delicious king crab lunch!

The town of Kirkenes is located by an Arctic fjord, with excellent king crab fishing facilities – there will always be a catch!  A totally unforgettable experience awaits you on the frozen fjords of Kirkenes. This is your chance to learn how to catch, cook, and most importantly EAT this mysterious creature. 

In this ultimate king crab fishing experience, you will be taken by snowmobile sledge* out on the fjord ice. Here you will take part in the entire experience of catching the giant, and seeing how it is prepared.

​(*In the beginning and the end of the season, the tour may go by boat, if the conditions are not suitable for snowmobile.)

What our customers say:

  • Thank you for assisting us with our trip to Norway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kirkenes and the Snow Hotel. The arrangements you made for us were perfect. The lodging was comfortable and the excursions were fun. Tom and I rarely use the services of a travel company when we travel; you enriched our trip and made the planning easy.
