What we like about Adventure Camp Mehamn (Nordic Safari)

  • Direct access to the Barents Sea and the fishing grounds around the Nordkyn peninsula, known for large halibut and large cod
  • Short transfer from Mehamn airport (approx. 800 metres), simpler travel logistics than most Finnmark fishing camps
  • Filleting hall with individual freezer per cottage, plus restaurant, sauna and hot tubs on site

Worth knowing

  • !Long travel from southern Norway and central Europe. Scheduled flights to Mehamn (MEH) connect via Tromsø or Kirkenes on Widerøe.
  • !Exposed open coast -- weather and swell can limit fishing days, especially in autumn and winter

Which fish species can I catch at Mehamn?
