Sailing experiences in arctic Varanger
About Sailing The Good Life
Sailing The Good Life is run by Trude and Roar – nature lovers and world sailors – from Vadsø on Varangerfjorden. They offer genuine, active nature experiences in arctic Varanger, year-round (May 1–September 30 in summer and October 1–April 30 in winter). You can join king crab and fishing safaris (traditional methods for cod, saithe and halibut), fjord sailing under full canvas to Little Finland, war history sails, RIB tours to hidden gems, birdwatching among arctic seabirds, plus northern lights and midnight sun tours with excellent meals on board. The pace is relaxed – by sea, on foot or by bicycle – and the goal is to live the good life as the locals do. Sailing The Good Life is ranked as Vadsø's top attraction on Tripadvisor.
