The Travel Company for Outdoor & Nature Minded People
We are an outdoor and nature travel company based in Norway that organise expeditions, outdoor adventures, courses and road trips in remote, pristine and challenging places in Arctic Norway. Our adventures are intended for outdoor and nature people that do not want to do the tourist thing. You can join us year round, and we travel with small groups. Our adventures are loaded with activities like kayaking, snowshoeing, mountaineering, diving, trekkings, sailing, canyoning, caving, skiing and much more. We offer adventures for beginners and more experienced people. We explore in expedition-style and love the thrilling atmosphere of adventure, challenges and discovering new areas. We organise travels for single travellers, groups and families with passion for nature.
Mission, PAssion & love
Our mission is to guide you safely into the Norwegian wilderness, teach you a lot and reconnect you with nature. Our passion is nature and we want to show you the beauty of the Arctic. We love slow travelling, a back-to-the-basics way of living and to travel as an explorer. Responsible tourism with respect for the locals in off-the-beaten-track areas is our thing.

ARCTIC SURVIVAL and safety TRAINING
|
DUTCHEXPLORERS organise 9-days adventures in which we focus on providing you outdoor, bushcraft and survival skills in remote areas. To give you a broad experience we will take you to places with different conditions, like mountains, sea & coastal areas, forests, valleys and areas that are full of streams and waterfalls. These courses are perfect for beginners and people that want to upgrade their skills. During your stay with us we organise 10 workshops to provide you basic skills for staying safe and happy in the wilderness areas. But most of the time we will be out in the Arctic nature to give your confidence a boost. We will make basecamps high in the mountains, on remote islands and in dense forests. You will stay in tents, mountain cabins, self build shelters, under tarps and snow holes (in wintertime). We run these courses year round, and they are organised north of the Arctic Circle.
