Our mission
We think that nature must be accessible for everybody. Young and old, skilled and unexperienced, top fit and people with some issues with their knees or back. Our mission is to guide people safely into the Norwegian wilderness and provide an enjoyable time. We like to show you the stunning nature of the Arctic in all her varieties. We love to teach you new skills to stay safe and happy in wild environments. For us it is very rewarding to be there when you hike up your first mountain, catch your first fish or bake for the first time a bread on a small fire. Our aim is to reconnect you to nature and get you into the slow rhythm of the Arctic.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER OF DUTCHEXPLORERS
The expedition and adventure company DUTCHEXPLORERS.COM is founded and lead by an adventurous Dutch guy Eelco Mersch. People in his surroundings call him an outdoor addict, a philosopher, a superb minimalistic cook, a romanticist and somebody who dares to live his passions. There are some speculations that the documentaries of the French pioneer, diver and explorer Jacques Cousteau must have had huge influence on him in his youth. But there are a lot of other people that have introduced him to caving, climbing, kayaking or hiking in remote areas. When he was nine years old he build his own 'sailing yacht' out of an small dinghy, an old sheet and a broom. At that time he didn't get that far, but now he almost covered 20.000 nautical miles in recent years. Eelco is a PADI certified dive master and is medical first aid instructor.
