Experience the rugged beauty of Northern Norway in Skjervøy and witness the incredible natural phenomenon of the Jøkelfjord glacier on this boat tour!

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of Norway in Skjervøy and witness the incredible natural phenomenon that is the Jøkelfjord glacier on this 3-4-hour boat tour! The perfect family-friendly adventure.

The island of Skjervøya is located in Northern Norway and is known for its charming coastal villages, rich fishing heritage, and majestic mountainous landscapes. An ideal location for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, Skjervøy is also the perfect place for whale watching as orcas and humpback whales frequent the area.

Your adventure begins after meeting your experienced Captain at the departure point. Throughout the boat tour, your Captain will share stories about local history and culture. There, you will put on your flotation suit and life jacket before boarding the vessel. Then, it's full speed ahead towards the Kvænangen Alps via the Kvænangen fjord. You'll feel the cool Arctic breeze on your face as you travel towards the indomitable Jøkelfjord glacier, which was originally formed in the last ice age.

Stopping in front of the glacier for some amazing photo opportunities, in the spring, participants may witness glacier calving. This is a natural process that occurs when large chunks of ice break off from the edge of a glacier or ice shelf and fall into the surrounding water. An incredible sight to see! Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, which, in Skjervøy, is ever-abundant.
