May I introduce myself and my company?
My name is Monika Raab, the owner of Booking Kirkenes (Pasvikturist AS org.nr: 992289171).
I have lived in Kirkenes since 2001. My geography studies brought me from Southern Germany to Northern Norway and my love for the north has never left me. Kirkenes is a special place that differs from other northern Norwegian areas. In many ways we are in a border area: borders to Finland and Russian, climatical border, tree line, different time zones and much more. The location, the climate, the landscape are diverse.

Wonderful experience! - We booked through Marilyn. She answered all of our questions and did an excellent job of making sure we accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish. Greg took care of us... read more on our first day of adventures. Excellent Sami experience. Beyond expectations! Went to actual Sami home and fed his personal herd and had Sunday Soup in his camp. Even gave us great recommendations for dinner and showed us how to get there from our hotel. Great job! And Marion drove us on our 2nd day. She took us chasing the northern lights and gave us tour of Kirkenes. Also an excellent job. Everyone was very informative, friendly and professional. Highly recommend them.

A great day out feeding Reindeer - We booked a day trip to feed Reindeer and meet Sami people, what a fantastic day. Greg picked us up and took us to meet the Sami. Once there we... read more were adequality dressed and geared up. Then we rode in a sled to meet the reindeer. The Sami got us to help them feed the Reindeer, which was super fun. Then after feeding we got to share the Sami Reindeer soup. All in all, a fun day, an amazing experience. Well worth spending the day with the Sami. After we were done, Greg dropped us back to the hotel, very convenient.
