Gourmet and adventure travel

We have put together an exciting program that you can see a little further down the page. It contains a lot of nature, a bit of culture and travel, and many exciting and unique food experiences. We believe this is a journey for the slightly discerning palate, who expects “high class” when it comes to serving, but also for those who like to be surprised, and who don’t necessarily set the bar too high. The message is simple: if you are above average fond of good food, and like driving, then this is the trip for you 🙂

Our fantastic route

Alta - We welcome you at Alta Airport when you arrive! Furthermore, we will have a check-in for everyone who is on the trip, before the trip continues to Isnestoften and a welcome dinner with the wonderful Kolbjørn and Kate awaits. They serve us a total of 7 dishes with suitable drinks, all prepared from short-traveled ingredients. For food and drink, we also enjoy a beautiful sea view and get-to-know-you time together. This is really a great start to an unforgettable week in Finnmark.
Toften - We wake up in scenic surroundings this morning, and for those who are a bit early-birds, we can tempt you with a tour of beautiful Isnestoften. Those who want to hear stories from the days of the war join Tormod, who guides you through an area with many war memorials and ruins. If you would rather imagine a leisurely stroll along childhood paths in this gem of a place, join Nina on the trip. Here you also have the option of a 2.5-hour summit tour, or just have a cup of coffee and enjoy life, it's also perfectly legal, you decide.
Karasjok - The tour then continues across Finnmarksvidda, with a few small stops on the way to Karasjok. Sami culture and history are on the program here, so we will be given a tour of Sapmi Park. This evening, the place's gamme is lit, and we are served the Sami national dish Bidos with accompanying dessert and coffee. We spend the night at the site's campsite
Tana - After breakfast, we will drive on along the beautiful Tana River for a few hours. In Tana we take a pit stop before heading towards Kongsfjord Landhandel, where a hot waffle and coffee await. Lunch on this day is enjoyed by the beach if the weather permits, the view is endlessly beautiful, blue sea as far as the eye can see. If there is an atmosphere in the group, we drive on to Berlevåg, if not, we return to Austertana where we will spend the night.
Here we will visit Tanja and Rolf Arne, who run Ildtoppen. Promises a unique experience in every way, very cozy place with lovely good food. It can be a late night here
Vardø - We have a quiet morning and enjoy a good breakfast before departure. Vardø awaits with a city walk with Venneby art and house tagging, a devout atmosphere in the Witch Monument, Drackar and a tour of Vardøhus fortress. The Varanger chef himself dishes up the most delicious dishes this evening, and we hope "gin and rhubarb" is on the menu this time too, it tastes heavenly after hours on foot, promise!
Hamningberg - Yes, what else can you say other than wow, it's going well. Mother Earth has created many beautiful things, and you will see some of that work of art this day. The stones lie like woodpeckers, sharp as needles, along the road and down into the sea. The road winds so beautifully in this strange landscape, where the beaches and pebble springs hide in between. Hamningeberg also has a special history, and is one of the few small villages that was not burned during the Germans' scorched earth tactics. The small houses stand there just as they did before the war, so here you can really get an insight into what it looked like here before the Second World War. A beautiful sight, and one can think back and just imagine what it was like to live here when the winter storms howled, and every room was full of children and adults, preferably several generations under the same roof. We like to think today, how was this possible? There was also a lot of activity here during the Second World War. Tormod is more than happy to walk up the mountain, which contains many hidden war memorials, if anyone wants him to go there.
After a few hours of history, culture and nature, we say goodbye to Hamningberg and head towards

Western Jakobselv .
Here we will enjoy a delicious fish meal, and finish with a delicious dessert and coffee.
Before we leave for the evening, we drive to Bugøynes, where we free camp on the quay at night
Bugøynes - After breakfast comes another highlight of the trip, handsome, clever Trond takes us on Finnmark's absolute best king crab safari. While the safe RIB boat charges up to a faster pace, Trond tells the strong and exciting story of Bugøynes, and why the small village was spared by the Germans. Once outside the harbor area, Ribben picks up speed, and it carries us out onto the crests of the waves, all the way to where the crab stones are set. Fully loaded lines are pulled up, and we all get to help get the catch on board the boat. Under expert guidance and help, we get to help butcher and prepare the crab for steaming. Trond says that it is the optimal way to prepare this wonderful raw material. So while Ribben lies bobbing in calmer waters, the king crab's history, anatomy and physiology are also told in simple terms. Beautiful nature, and not least lovely colors around us, Lovely to be close to the sea like this, and the wind easily ruffles our hair. Then the journey continues to land again. Trond goes to prepare the fresh crab, while we get ready for a proper gentleman's meal. Trond enters with large barrels, all filled to the brim with the sneeze team's lukewarm king crab. Served with three lovely sauces and freshly baked bread - Well received
All fairy tales have a 'snipp snapp snute' (a phrase used to mark the end of a fairy tale), and that's how it feels when we, to put it mildly, roll ourselves out of Trond's family bistro. We must start on the return towards Alta.
On the way to another free camp night, we have a few stops, such as in Ifjord where we take it easy and have a waffle and coffee.
Porsanger - Here is the goal for the night, and here we have many opportunities. Where we end up depends on the weather and wind, regardless, it will be with a sea view. Now we take our time to be social, an evening around the fire where we reflect on the week that has been. We know that new friendships will be forged on this trip, and want to give you space to get to know each other even better this evening. The atmosphere around the fire gives a calm of its own, and when it is experienced together with others it gives a good feeling of satisfaction< 3
If we're really lucky, the northern lights will dance above us.
Porsanger/Alta We wake up in a paradise, if the weather cooperates. Regardless of sun, wind or rain, it has its charm. But, we would like a sunny tomorrow, preferably, so that we can really see Posrangerfjorden from its best side. We will follow the fjord all the way to Lakselv, and all the way out again on the other side, a beautiful piece of Norway, to which we are drawn back again and again, and can never get enough. There is something about the light here, the proximity to the sea and not least the openness. But we have to rush on to Alta and the final experience at the world's best Trasti and Trine. They serve us "Fine Dining" and you can look forward to 4-5 hours of serving the finest artful and tasty dishes, one finer and better than the other. This is art and we love to enjoy the lessons in the cozy premises here. Just to enjoy!
We will spend the night just outside the restaurant.
Alta - If there is an atmosphere for it, we order a joint breakfast in the restaurant, recommended! We have plenty of time to stroll around and look around this area before checking out. Altaelva is just a stone's throw away if anyone wants to go for a walk there. Eventually we drive off to Altagård again to check out.
Then it's time to say goodbye and welcome you back another time.
If we could hand out Michelin stars, we would have several good candidates here! This trip here shows what fantastic cuisine Northern Norway has, it's just a shame they don't get the attention they deserve. With this trip, we are helping to put them on the map, at least for a specially selected few who are lucky enough to experience it.
Welcome with us on our next trip, and you will be one of the lucky few< 3
