Day trip to the Ice Sea and Kirkenes in Norway.
A totally unforgettable experience awaits you on the frozen fjords of Kirkenes, Norway. This is your chance to learn how to catch, cook, and most importantly EAT this mysterious creature – King Crab.
We start our day in Saariselka at 5.30 AM. First we drive passing Ivalo and Kaamanen to Sevettijarvi that is one of the last mostly sami populated villages in Europe. There we visit a local farm and enjoy our breakfast.
After crossing the border we will approach the coast line and town of Kirkenes where we will find the Snow Hotel site. From there we make the actual crab fishing tour to the arctic sea. In this ultimate king crab fishing experience, you will be taken by snowmobile sledge out on the sea ice. Here you will take part in the entire experience of catching the giant, and seeing how it is prepared. Finally the journey continues to a beautiful rustic restaurant by the fjord, where you will feast on the giant crab, served the Norwegian way.
Afterwards we visit the Snow hotel (when open) before returning to Finland.
In Sevettijarvi farm we enjoy the dinner and then drive back around lake inari to Ivalo and Saariselka. On the way we usually meet packs of wild reindeer and see impressive tundra views.
