Explore winter in Kirkenes: Arctic adventures for every traveller
Every day, one of Norway’s coastal ferries – Hurtigruten or Havila – arrives in Kirkenes, the turnaround port for the iconic voyage to and from Bergen. Many passengers end their northbound journey here, while others board in Kirkenes for the southbound trip. You spend a few hours in Kirkenes? Join us on our guided snowshoe hikes, Russian border tours and small-group Northern Lights tours to discover Kirkenes beyond the town limits.

Created by travellers who chose the Arctic as home
We are kirkenes tours — three friends and passionate travellers who decided to build a life in Kirkenes in the far northeast of Norway. Our mission is to share the wild beauty, culture, and everyday magic of Northern Norway through authentic, small-group experiences. From midnight sun hikes to cozy fires in the snow, we help you discover the Arctic the way we fell in love with it — quietly, honestly, and with wide eyes.
