Our midday tour took us out of Narvik along the shores of Ofotfjorden towards Skjomen.



We then turned off the main fjord onto a narrow road, with numerous passing places for oncoming traffic.

Towards the end of the fjord we pulled over and walked down to a fantastic view. The mountainside opposite was stunning, with a glacier just peeping over the top.


Our guide, a real character, then proceeded to invite us into the artic waters for a paddle……of course nobody joined her except yours truly to her great delight and joy of fellow passengers.


It wasn’t that bad, honestly 😁 It’s amazing that such a beautiful place was used by the Nazi’s as a submarine base. All traces have been completely removed, just crazy tourists and flowers now.





A great tour and guide, much enjoyed by all. After our return and quick snack we bussed into town. I had noticed a wool shop on our way in much to Hazels delight. Norwegian project sorted 👍

Wonderful experience and a great wool shop find. Well done mark!’!Cheers SallyOn 10 Jul 2026,
