Crayfishing in Sweden

Sweden – With its breathtaking natural scenery, fascinating history, and vibrant cultural traditions, the country is a Nordic gem that captures the hearts of travelers worldwide. Among its countless treasures lies Fjällbacka, a quaint fishing village perched along the rugged Bohuslän coast. This postcard-perfect destination enchants visitors with its colorful wooden houses clustered around a sheltered harbor, winding cobblestone lanes, and a timeless atmosphere that seems frozen in a bygone era. Beyond its picturesque charm, Fjällbacka offers a gateway to the stunning Kosterhavet National Park, renowned for its abundant marine life and opportunities for kayaking, hiking, and immersing oneself in nature’s pristine embrace. A visit to this captivating corner of Sweden promises an unforgettable experience steeped in tranquility, beauty, and a unique glimpse into Scandinavian coastal living.

TOP 5 thing why you should visit Sweden:

  1. Getting to know the harbor: Visit the cosy port on the Skagerrak strait between the Baltic and North Seas, a favourite between artists, writers and travelers.
  2. Wild landscape: admire the scenery carved by the rocks and sea on your hikes to Kungsklyftan Mountain in the centre of Fjällbacka.
  3. Relaxing outdoors: watch the hustle and bustle of the harbor while enjoying a drink on one of many café terraces.
  4. Fishing experiences: sail out to sea on a fishing boat to catch lobsters and other fish, and have them prepared for dinner when you get back to the shore.
  5. Exploring Swedish waters: go kayaking to spot seals and other marine animals.

Cost of the trip to Sweden:

From 1350 € per person for groups of up to 12 people. The price might change if there will be more people in the group.

Best time to travel:

September–November. We recommend going around September 20 and participate at the beginning of the lobster fishing season. This is the time when all the fishermen head out to sea in the morning for their first catch of the season – it’s a truly special sight. There will be more fishing opportunities as the season runs until November 30.
