Porsanger Fjord

The Porsanger Fjord extends 123 kilometers into Norway's northern terrain, making it the fourth longest fjord in the country.

The fjord has served as a vital maritime route for centuries, connecting coastal settlements and supporting the traditional fishing activities of local communities.

The waters and surrounding areas of Porsanger Fjord hold deep connections to the Sami people, who maintain their fishing and herding traditions in the region.

Visitors can access the fjord through the towns of Lakselv and Honningsvåg, which provide accommodation options and transportation services throughout the year.

The southern section of Porsanger Fjord encompasses a 50,290-hectare protected area that serves as a critical habitat for numerous arctic bird species.
