Information

Winter Sea Safari Overview

A typical winter sea safari lasts between 4 and 5 hours, but is entirely dependent upon the ever-changing weather conditions during the winter months. For the same reason, it is not possible to book this activity in advance of your stay – it will be offered at Lyngen Lodge when favourable conditions allow.
