Experience the Varangerfjord in a whole new way! Join us on an unforgettable trip with the RIB boat M/S ARCTIC ORCA between Vadsø and the charming fishing village of Bugøynes, also called "Little Finland."

The trip runs round-trip in the morning and afternoon, and is perfect whether you are traveling from Vadsø to experience the tranquility of Bugøynes, or from Bugøynes to visit Vadsø – the capital of Kvæn, known for its diverse cultural life, museums, historical sites and vibrant business community.

Two daily itineraries – both ways:
Morning and afternoon:

• Vadsø ➝ Bugøynes

• Bugøynes ➝ Vadsø

You can choose to travel one way or take a return trip on the same day – both offer an adventurous journey across the fjord with beautiful Arctic nature as a backdrop.

Practical information:
