Crab fisherman for a day - Øygarden Opplevelser

Join us for an unforgettable journey as we invite you to partake in a delightful crab-catching expedition.

Our headquarters are located in Vik, nestled within Øygarden, a picturesque village just 40 minutes from the heart of Bergen. This idyllic village is adorned with charming boathouses along the tranquil shores of the North Sea.

We will pick you up with our Raven Rib boat in Bergen city center, ensuring a pleasant 30-minute ride to the islands of Øygarden. Upon arrival, we supply you with specially designed suits and life vests, ready for the ever-changing North Sea weather. Over a cup of coffee and a slice of melon, we'll acquaint you with our base and the rich history of our village.

Setting out from our base, you'll have the opportunity to pull your very own crab pots. Our knowledgeable guide will provide insights into the diverse array of sea life, including crabs, fish, and even starfish. We take the catch back to our base where we will prepare the crab meal served on a long table overlooking the sea and surrounded by beautiful scenery. If you're fortunate, you may even spot an eagle soaring above the village on the winds.

You will learn how to prepare the crab and get to taste it fresh, strait from the boiling pot.

After the meal we will accompany you to the bus that will take you back to Bergen.
