Description
We run a fishing camp in Northern Norway, located on the countryside of north of Tromsøy. The location is 3-4 hours by car from Tromsø, or 2 hours by speed ferry. The camp has been running for since 2010, and has a solid client base. We had a pause in 2023-2024, but are starting up again 2025. Clients mostly come from Finland, Estonia and UK. We provide accommodation to guests, boats, guiding and equipment. In general, clients are passionate about sports fishing, valuing the stay at the sea and the hunt for the big fish. However, also family groups arrive occasionally. A group usually stay for a whole week.
The camp is owned by a marine scientist / professional fisherman .
A Workawayer will interact with tourists, and the working language will be English. The location of the camp is at Arnøya Island (Lauksletta) in northern Norway. The Island has alot of mountains, making it suitable for out door activities, hiking, bycycling and photo. It is surrounded by fjords and straits .
This is the land of the midnight sun, and the 24 hour sunlight will touch something deep inside of you.
This position is equally suited for girls or boys.
We are open from mid April till end of September.
Minimum stay 4 weeks.
Working hours per day: 5. Accomodation will be provided by the camp.
Important: This area is a VERY QUIET community. We repeat: VERY QUIET. Guests are usually busy with their fishing during their week.

Ole has always been very friendly and always makes sure you have everything you need.
The work itself was hard at times but the nature surrounding you only made it more rewarding.
All in all a wonderful experience of Northern Norway
