At the end of a fjord on the Varanger Peninsula lies Båtsfjord, one of Norway’s largest fishing villages. Here, you get close to the sea, with fishing boats in the harbour and nature right on your doorstep. A place for fresh air, calm surroundings and great experiences all year round.
With Widerøe, you can fly directly to Båtsfjord from Hammerfest, Berlevåg, Vadsø and Vardø. From Båtsfjord, you can fly to Tromsø, Alta, Honningsvåg and Mehamn – with just one stop.
Båtsfjord gives you a real taste of coastal life all year round. You can head out to sea on a fishing charter, paddle a kayak from the harbour or take a quiet walk along the fjord. On the waterfront, there is regularly something going on, from quizzes and small concerts to good meals.
If you want to explore nature, it is always close by. You can experience rich birdlife, including species such as the king eider and long-tailed duck, both in the inner harbour and out at Skarvskiten and Syltefjordstauran. You can also try your luck fishing in the Syltefjord River, one of Finnmark’s best salmon rivers.
When darkness falls, the sky comes alive. On clear winter evenings, you can chase the northern lights, from land or out at sea. In summer, the midnight sun brings long, light-filled days with plenty of time to explore.
