Don’t leave Kirkenes without one last taste of the Arctic. This flexible tour is perfect if you have a few hours before your flight and want to make the most of your time. Unlike other fixed-schedule tours, we adapt this experience around your departure, offering a light activity like a snowshoe walk, a local viewpoint stop, or a drive through scenic landscapes. We’ll pick you up, show you a side of Sør-Varanger that most travelers miss, and make sure you’re back at Kirkenes Airport in time. Whether it’s your first Arctic experience or a final farewell, we’ll make it count.

Here are some of the activities we can include in your mini Arctic adventure:

  • Snowshoe hike or fatbike tour close to Kirkenes Airport
  • Short trip to Neiden to learn about the Sami culture (Skolt Sami Museum open until 16:30)
  • Guided visit to the famous Snowhotel Kirkenes
  • Short hike to a viewpoint overlooking town
  • Try your luck ice-fishing on a frozen lake
  • Step into an Espionage Tour of Arctic Norway: hear real-life espionage stories and visit sites of secret missions, spy swaps, and modern surveillance near the Russian border.
  • Russian border tour
