The town Vardø is the easternmost town in Norway situated in the very north. It is an island and an undersea tunnel is providing the gateway to this arctic city. Vardø has beautiful nature, surrounded by sea, a spectacular birdlife with excellent opportunities to go hunting and fishing or just to discover the artic wildlife and nature.
Three years ago we bought an old fish industry building practically right in the towns harbour. Since then we have continually been working on repairing and remodelling the house both inside and outside. The process in ongoing and we are now preparing to start some small scale tourism on the site.
It would be convenient if you speak English, especially for communicating with others, but also Spanish, French or German will do. We hope to find independent, self driven people who are open for new experiences.
Don't hesitate to contact us for more information about who we are and what we can offer you.
