Kongekrabbesafari Bugøynes
RIB safari for king crab in Varangerfjord
About Kongekrabbesafari Bugøynes
From Bugøynes, the tour departs into the Varangerfjord and the Barents Sea by RIB boat. Along the way, the local guide shares stories about the Russian king crab, its spread along the Norwegian coast, and the history of Bugøynes and the fjord. Together you check the traps and sort the day's catch. King crabs can grow large, and the ones you catch typically weigh between two and five kilos. With luck, you may also spot whales, seals, and white-beaked dolphins—each tour is different. After the safari, a meal prepared from your own king crab is served at Bugøynes Bistro, prepared in the traditional way. Wetsuits are provided for all, and the tour is weather-dependent; in poor weather, a visit to the crab factory with king crab lunch is offered instead.
