Sailing experiences in arctic Varanger
Sailing The Good Life is run by Trude and Roar – nature lovers and world sailors – from Vadsø on Varangerfjorden.

Join king crab and fishing safaris (cod, pollock and halibut the traditional way), fjord sailing under white sails to Little Finland, war history sailing tours, RIB trips to hidden gems, birdwatching among arctic seabirds, and northern lights and midnight sun tours with fine meals on board. The journey unfolds at a leisurely pace – by sea, on foot or by bicycle – with the aim of living the good life as the locals do. Sailing The Good Life is ranked as Vadsø's top attraction on TripAdvisor.
