Fishing Boat Trip from Tromsø to the Fjords with Snack & Hot Drinks

About the Activity

What to Expect

Experience the thrill of fishing in the Arctic fjords aboard the historic Hermes II, where breathtaking scenery meets authentic Norwegian fishing traditions. Step aboard this beautifully preserved, century-old vessel and learn time-honored Norwegian fishing techniques from an experienced crew as you try your luck in the rich, icy waters of the fjord. The carefully restored vessel, featuring elegant wooden details and a classic Cummins 335 engine, offers an authentic and comfortable setting for exploring the fjords. Whether you bring your own rod or borrow one, up to 5 rods can be in action at the same time to avoid problems with the lines, alternating in groups if more than five participants want to fish.

As you cruise through the Tromsø Sound, the natural beauty of Norway unfolds around you. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including seabirds and the occasional seal, adding a delightful touch to your adventure. The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to be served fresh fish, butter, and flatbread prepared in a real northern Norwegian way if you are lucky with your catch, a unique experience to add to your bucket list.

This fishing excursion is ideal for fishing enthusiasts who wish to immerse themselves in Norway’s seafaring past while enjoying the stunning Arctic landscape.
