Skjervøy
There’s something special about the late summer evenings in the Arctic region of Norway. When the sun doesn't set, time stands still and a magical feeling overtakes you.
This tour is conducted by Explore 70 Degrees. Note! This tour departs from Skjervøy (150 km from Tromsø)
Experiencing the coastline of Skjervøy in the glow of the midnight sun is amazing. The fjord and all its nature become in its own peace. It’s truly an atmosphere that has to be experienced in person.
While enjoying the bright evening view, we circumnavigate Skjervøy and get to see the island from a unique perspective. During this cruise, you will see landscapes affected by countless generations of Sami and Norwegian people. We introduce you to the sami culture and other aspects of local history, including World War II.
In our Arctic region, there is quite amount of wildlife, so we keep an eye open for the species Norway is known for hosting, such as Whales, Dolphins, Eagles, and seabirds as Gormorants, Guillemot and our eminent favorite Puffins.
Our local guide will make sure this cruise trip is high quality and safe, so you feel taken care of and catered to. We look forward to being your host!
