Norway · KING CRAB EXPERIENCES
A small boat, a pot the size of a table and a crab with a leg span over a metre. These 5 safaris run in the far north, and the notes cover boat size, whether you eat the catch on the spot and how long you are out on the water.
Guided North Cape drive from Honningsvåg with Nordkapphallen entry, 1.5 hours to explore, king crab photos, reindeer and a Sámi camp.
“This was a great tour - the coach was very comfortable with lots of leg room and an excellent driver, Rebecca. Our tour guide was Karl, who was fantastic - so knowledgeable and informative, and funny too. I learnt a lot and had a wonderful time.”
Join a Tromsø king crab hunt and cruise dark fjords, then enjoy self-captured claws with red fish soup on a classic explorer vessel.
“while this is a unique experience to hopefully catch a king crab, half of the boat tour is divided, so one side is for the king crab tour which is extra cost, and another is just a cruise at a lower cost and you go to separate parts of the boat and eat lunch in different parts. However when you are catching the king crabs and pulling in the nets ect the people on the cruise come out and gather in the same area as you, which isn't fair as more has been paid for the king crab catch and there's nothing stopping these people from invading the space where…”
Pre-booked North Cape museum entry plus round-trip pickup from Honningsvåg, ending with a short king crab stop in Skarsvåg, about 3.5 hours.
“The day did not cooperate but Darren made the trip very informative and fun. We saw lots of reindeer and enjoyed the king crab show. Darren gave a great tour through the North Cape museum. No view was seen from the globe but we can say we were there. Thanks Darren for a fun trip on a foggy day!”
Honningsvåg RIB safari to Kjelvik and Nordvågen with Arctic wildlife spotting, fish factory access, and possible whale sightings.
“The fish factory took too much time We were lucky to see some whales Otherwise not much content”
Join a hands-on king crab fishing trip from Tromsø, hauling traps and then feasting on fresh king crab onboard for 3 hours.
“KING CRAB FISHING ROCKED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars! Our guides Pepe and Alvo were top notch. So nice and accommodating. As we left the port we had the most spectacular sky I’ve ever seen! The sunset was incredible, pictures don’t do it justice. We were a little let down that we only pulled up one crap trap. Would like to have done more crabbing because this was advertised as a real working crab boat. Which it was, just not to the extent we thought. We caught a couple crabs, then Pepe proceeded to give us a very informative presentation about the king crab, its history and some other cool facts about…”
Water, snow, sky and the towns in between.
