Hunt and Sail

Arrival Bergen airport in the afternoon where you have an approx 15 minute taxi transfer to Osøyro harbour where Varg S/Y is waiting for you. When all hunters have arrived we set sail for the hunting adventure of a lifetime. A light dinner/late night meal is served. The crew sail the boat through the night as the first hunting grounds will be the one furthest away from Osøyro and we will then gradually work our way back towards the starting point after the first hunt.

Wake up to the fresh morning air, grab a cup of coffee, and step onto the deck, where the steep mountainsides rising from the fjord provide the perfect backdrop for spotting deer. The onboard guide will give a briefing, covering maps, the plan for the first half of the day, and essential safety details. The hunt will then begin, using spot-and-stalk, still hunting, or organized drives—adjusted based on conditions, guest preferences, and the best chances of success. Each day presents new challenges, requiring different tactics as the deer can appear in countless locations. A packed lunch will be enjoyed in the mountains, where we will spend the entire day before returning to the boat about an hour before sunset. After the hunt, we set sail for the next location. As the sun sets, relax on deck with a well-earned drink, taking in some of Norway’s most breathtaking scenery. Dinner is served after sundown.

Today we will embark on a new hunt in a new area. The program will be similar like the day before with a safety brief, a plan for the day and a full day out in nature.

The final day of hunting is slightly shorter, running from 08:00 to around 14:00, allowing ample time to sail back to Osøyro harbor and ensure a smooth transfer to Bergen Airport for afternoon or evening flights. This last hunt takes place in relatively easier terrain—flatter than previous days, though still challenging. Guests also have the option to incorporate dogs into the drive, adding a unique and dynamic element to the experience.
