King crab safari in Kirkenes
A totally unforgettable experience awaits you on the frozen fjords of Kirkenes.
This is your chance to catch, learn how to cook, and most importantly EAT this mysterious creature.
The Arctic King Crab is one of the most sort after meals in top restaurants, and yet here, you get to eat the
best and the freshest, pulled from the fjord in front of your eyes. You all take part in helping to saw the hole
in the ice and bring up the catch. You will see how the crab is prepared by your master guide,
and you will be taken by snowmobile sledge (an experience in itself) to a beautiful farmhouse by the lake.
Please note: This tour is done by snowmobile (fisherman drives snowmobile and guests are in sledge behind
the snowmobile), and not by divers or in a boat.
