If you wish we can organise an entire fishing trip with overnight accommodation, food, transport and guides, so that all you need to bring with you is your own personal equipment and tackle. Seafishing/Arctic Ocean safari trips During the summer and autumn we arrange fjord tours . Try fishing for cod, coalfish (pollack), wolffish or halibut and many other species in the Arctic Ocean. You're almost guaranteed to catch something, and if you're especially lucky you may land somthing really big! But you can never be sure what will come up from the deep. It won't necessarily be a fish, it could also be a king crab the size of a horse. Along the fjord there are also bird cliffs, archaeological sites, Sami sacrificial sites, as well as military installations from World War II. A visit to the fishing village of Bugøynes is an absolute must. We can also arrange an overnight stop, sleeping in a tent on a beach or island, so that you can experience the sunset and watch it rise again from the sea.
