About Barents Adventure
The man behind the experiences
Barents Adventure is owned and operated by Jørn Haagenrud – a true Finnmark native with a lifelong passion for nature. Jørn grew up in the far north of Norway, where hunting, fishing and outdoor life were not just hobbies, but a way of life. Today, he shares this passion with guests from all over the world. Following a long career in the field of security, Jørn decided to follow his heart. He founded Barents Adventure to share the very best of Varanger – the raw beauty of its nature, light, sea, bird- and wildlife, and especially its rich food culture.
About the boat
Safety at Sea – backed by experience
As captain, fisherman, chef and guide aboard his sturdy 34-foot boat, MS SILJA, Jørn takes you out on the Barents Sea – always with a focus on quality, genuine experiences, and above all, safety. After many years of working as a police officer, both nationally and internationally, Jørn brings a deep understanding of safety to every trip. At Barents Adventure, “Safety First” is more than just a slogan – it is second nature.
