Description

Relax on deck and enjoy nature as we sail in fjords and in between nearby island in the spectacular scenery outside Tromsø. Hear the story of Hermes II, our Skandfer cutter from 1917, learn more about Tromsø’s surroundings and about the warship Tirpitz, which was sunk just outside the city in 1944. On this trip, we will also encounter abundant birdlife, often spotting eagles and seals, and sometimes a pod of dolphins may appear. For extra excitement, we stop for a while so you can try fishing with one of our fishing rods. Selected samples of local, traditional food – served during the trip.To truly taste the traditions of the coast, the food must also be tried. That’s why we offer a selection of tempting samples, mainly seafood. These will vary slightly depending on the season. But delicious? Oh yes! You can definitely look forward to it!
