Tromsø
Cruise with us on our hybrid-electric boat and experience the fjords around Tromsø, combining unspoiled nature, wildlife, and local history. From fish below to birds above, enjoy scenic views as we pass historic coastal sites, including a former Cold War submarine base. Step ashore in an old fishing warehous and learn about the traditions and lifeline of Norwegian coastal communities.
This tour is conducted by Brim Explorer.
As we leave the city of Tromsø behind us, you will be able to admire the skyline of the third largest city in the Arctic Circle in the morning light. We will set course south to one of the beautiful fjords in the region; Ramfjord. The fjord is charactered by its 90 degrees corner halfway through the fjord. From marine life that flourishes here to the historic cold war facility of Olavsvern, the fjord is rich with stories.
Once we leave Ramfjord, we continue to an old fishing facility on the island of Kvaløya. We pass by Ristraumen, a heavy current and a well-known local fishing spot. From here you will have a fantastic view over both Kvaløya as well as Malangen. When we get to the fishing facility, you will step on land and learn more about how important the fishing industry was for the history of northern Norway and still is to this day and how it has shaped families and culture.
