Kirkenes is where legendary journeys begin or end. Whether you are finishing your Hurtigruten or Havila voyage and flying onward the same day, or arriving one day early before boarding, the question is always the same:
“Do we have enough time to do something — or should we just wait?”
This Mini Arctic Excursion is our answer.
Most tours in Kirkenes run on fixed schedules that rarely match ship arrivals or flight departures. We do it differently. This excursion is built around your time window — from just over an hour to several relaxed hours — and always includes a safe, punctual drop-off at the airport or ship terminal.
Depending on your available time, weather, and interests, your guide will choose a short but meaningful Arctic experience. This might be a light nature walk or snowshoe hike, a scenic viewpoint overlooking Kirkenes, a short cultural or historical stop, or a calm drive through Arctic landscapes with storytelling and photo stops.
Your guide keeps track of the time throughout the excursion, so you can focus on enjoying your final (or first) moments in the Arctic — without rushing, stress, or worrying about missing your departure.
