Location

Alongside the Nordlenangen fjord in the North West of the Lyngen Peninsula overlooked by the impressive Lyngen Alps. Lyngen Havfiske is 90km from Tromso. Clients taking the 0720 SAS flight from Heathrow can take the 1 hour fast ferry from Tromso, cost of transfer around £60pp return. Alternatively the road transfer is £110 pp and takes approx 90 minutes via a short ferry.

Accommodation

The centre has 7 well furnished waterside cabins which each sleep up to 6 persons. The cabins have 2 floors with living room, kitchen, bathroom and a twin bedroom on the groundfloor. Upstairs there are 2 more bedrooms each with 2 beds. Each cabin is equipped with satellite TV, fridge, dishwasher and stove with oven. There is also an outside storeroom with a freezer.

The Fishing

Reasonably sheltered fishing for cod, halibut, haddock and coalfish. Your hosts at Lyngen Havfiske will offer advice on what and where to catch and they keep a yearly 'big fish' log. Skippered fishing is available on Lyngen Havfiske's own boat (8 hour trips - max 4 anglers) and for 2009 a larger boat (6 to 10 anglers) will be available for day trips (or even longer trips with full board facilities on the boat). Good shore fishing and very sheltered boat fishing inside the fjord.

Shops/facilities

The nearest shop is 1km away and can be reached on foot or by using your boat. There is a cafe 100m from the cabins which sells a variety of snack meals. A communal barbecue area is available to guests. There is an excellent fish gutting and cleaning facility on site.

Other Activities

The area is excellent for hiking in the Lyngen Alps and it is possible to go guided glacier walking. The peninsula is also good for bird watching and whale watching.
