Drive your own snowmobile across the Nordkyn Peninsula – from the old fishing village of Kjøllefjord to Mehamn – under star-filled skies and, with luck, the Northern Lights.
Drive a snowmobile over the mountain between Kjøllefjord and Mehamn
Hear the guides tell their stories about life in the Arctic region
Look to the skies for a chance to see the magical Northern Lights
See the world’s northernmost mainland town, Mehamn
After a thorough safety and training session with experienced instructors, you’ll set off across the Nordkyn Peninsula through snow-clad valleys and mountain scenery. As you drive, your guides will share their knowledge of the landscape, the indigenous Sámi people, and life in this extraordinary corner of the Arctic.
The season shapes the experience. In winter, the Polar Night casts the mountains in deep blue stillness – and the aurora borealis may arch overhead. In spring, the returning sun catches the snow and floods the valleys with light. Our journey ends in Mehamn, where you’ll rejoin the ship.

Each of our excursions has a rating to illustrate the level of fitness required. There are four categories, with 1 being the easiest and 4 the most difficult.
Level 1 = Easy: suitable for most
Excursions at this level are physically undemanding and suitable for most people. Level 2 = Moderate: some mobility needed
Excursions in this category involve a small amount of physical activity, but on easy terrain with few major challenges. Level 3 = Active: good mobility needed
Excursions in this category are more active and involve outdoor pursuits that require a decent level of fitness. You may be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. They are not suitable for those with limited mobility.
Level 4 = Challenging: good mobility and fitness needed
These are our most challenging excursions, and require a good level of fitness. They may involve hiking or biking on uneven terrain and may also require specialist equipment. You would be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. Excursions in this category are not suitable for those with limited mobility.
Prices can vary depending on the season you travel. Costs such as exchange rates and local prices may change from year to year, so we show a “starting from” price as a guide. The exact price will be confirmed when you book.
