A unique fjord tour in the beautiful "Caribbean of the North"
Join our boat trip in the beautiful archipelago of Bergsfjord, with crystal clear turquoise water and white sandy beaches– also known as the “Caribbean in the Arctic”!
Steep, majestic mountain dive straight into the sea, and pearly white beaches of crushed seashells line the islands in the clear turquoise waters.
Just outside Hamn we pass a cormorant colony and normally we get a glimpse of the sea eagles and seals among other sea birds playing in the winds.
Our knowledgeable guides will tell you everything you need to know about this area and are excited to meet you soon!
You will have a stop at a small island where we will serve lunch and, if you are lucky, you might get a glimpse of the white-tailed eagle.
