Day by day

Day 1:Onboarding & Skrova Exploration

We’ll meet in Kabelvåg at 12:00 noon and board Varg S/Y to settle in. The crew will then go through a safety briefing and the essentials of life on board. Before setting sail, we visit the Bellona Center to learn about their innovative kelp storage project, which captures and stores carbon to combat climate change. We then set sail and our first stop is Skrova Island, where we’ll hike to the summit of Høgskrova for breathtaking fjord views. A prepared lunch will be enjoyed outdoors before a relaxed stroll through the village and its unique photo exhibition. In the evening, we’ll anchor nearby and share a well-deserved dinner on board.

Day 2:Trollfjorden

After breakfast we sail to the spectacular Trollfjorden. Here we leave the boat and hike across the island, either to Austpollen or Falkfjorden where we will be picked up again by Varg S/Y. We will be surrounded by dramatic landscapes and most probably we will be all by ourself. After the hike, unwind with a relaxing sauna and spa experience on board while the crew prepare dinner for us.
