Mar 24 - Oslo to Kirkenes, King Crab Safari


Day Three Itinerary

After breakfast at the hotel, transfer to the airport for a direct flight to Kirkenes. Upon arrival, enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime king crab experience. The leg span of a king crab can reach up to 1.8 meters and weigh as much as 10 kilograms.

Guests will first put on special thermal clothing provided for the activity. Then, board a sleigh pulled by a snowmobile driven by a guide and head out onto the frozen sea. There, pull up the pre-set crab pots and bring the catch back to a wooden cabin by the shore. The freshly caught king crab will be cooked on-site, allowing you to savor its rich flavor and freshness. (All necessary gear such as wool socks, snow boots, helmet, mittens, and scarf will be provided.)

The Norwegian government issues only a limited number of licenses for king crab fishing. Licensed fishermen are permitted to take guests out onto the ice to catch these giant crabs weighing up to 10 kilograms.
