King crab safari by riverboat to the border (KS16-bs)

Tour Overview

Take part in an unforgettable adventure with the King Crab Safari by riverboat. Begin with catching King Crab from our crab pots, then enjoy a scenic riverboat ride up the Pasvik River to our facility near the Russian border. Along the way, you’ll learn about the history and culture of the Sami people and the Russian Orthodox church, both of which are connected to this border area. Enjoy a freshly prepared King Crab meal along with cloudberries and cream, and finish with a warm drink. While you’ll be incredibly close to the Russian border, please note that trespassing is strictly illegal.
