Winter Sea Safari - Experiencing nature up-close

Lyngen Lodge Logo

There is so much more to an Arctic winter than sometimes meets the eye. Beneath the flat stillness of the fjord’s sparkling blue waters, and high up in the skies, Arctic animals fill the space with sound, energy and life.

A sea safari in Norway is the best way to experience these wonders first hand. The luxurious Spirit of Lyngen boat takes you out into the fjord, so that you can fully

appreciate the enormity of the Arctic Lyngen. Every excursion and Norway safari with Lyngen Lodge is different and unique, based around specific weather conditions and animal movements. What is guaranteed however is a heightened appreciation of the relationship with nature in Lapland and northern Norway, and a service that goes beyond expectations.

Spirit Of Lyngen

Welcome on board

Our 15m luxury Targa 44 cruiser, the Spirit of Lyngen, is built specifically for winter conditions. Combining luxurious transport with the highest safety standards, the boat is equipped with a well-stocked galley, conveniences, and deep sea fishing equipment to enable you to try your hand at catching your own fish in the fjord.

The Lyngen Lodge sea safari also takes you out to the iconic fishing port of Havnnes, a National Heritage site of historic importance.

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.

Price: 2985 NOK per person
