RED KING CRAB SAFARI

EXPLORE VARANGER

The trip starts from Vadsø, Kirkenes, bugøynes or Nesseby harbor. It was here in East-Finnmark where the Red King Crab first appeared after that Russian scientist had released the outside Murmansk in the 60’s. Each trip to the sea is unique as the crab thrives in different depths in the different times of the year. The guests on board participate in sorting out the days catch and learn from professional fisherman all about king crabs life in the sea.

The Red King Crab has become an important part of livelihood for the local fishermen and therefor the resource must be made use of in a sustainably manner. After the crab pots are checked, it’s time to try out some deep sea fishing. No previous experience is needed and all necessary equipment is ready on board. The most common catch is cod, pollock, haddock or catfish. If you are very lucky even a halibut can come up from the depths of the ocean!
