What we like about Nusfjord Arctic Resort

  • Historic fishing village with rorbuer that the operator states have been restored to a high standard
  • Sheltered fjord location and guided fishing trips with experienced local captain who fillets the catch
  • Five restaurants and bars, outdoor spa, and plenty of activities beyond fishing

Worth knowing

  • !Luxury resort with high prices -- not a dedicated fishing camp with self-rental boats
  • !Fishing trips are guided group tours (no own boat), with limited availability outside peak season

Tips from experienced anglers

  1. 1Book fishing trips on Elltor early -- tours run Monday to Saturday June–August, with limited capacity
  2. 2Ask the captain to prepare your catch for dinner at Restaurant Karoline for a complete experience
  3. 3The Institute of Marine Research gives February–April as the main spawning period for Northeast Arctic cod; check the operator's actual tour schedule. The resort states that it operates year-round.
