Kokelv

Welcome to Kokelv! It was originally an old Sea Sami village, and although there are not so many of them left, the old traditions are well preserved in this village. The Sea Sami Museum in particular plays an important role in keeping the culture alive and is definitely worth a visit. Kokelv is a vibrant village community with most of the necessary facilities for a small community, a school, kindergarten, a shop, and a beautiful church. A visit to this area so far north means that you can experience everything from the midnight sun and light summer nights to the northern lights, winter storms, rainy days and occasionally even a heat wave from Russia, depending on what time of the year you visit. Many use the village as the starting point for the magical and beautiful trip on the national tourist road to Havøysund. Today, outdoor enthusiasts also stream into Kokelv on the hunt for exciting experiences. Both the mountains and fjords offer spectacular yet affordable adventures for both young and old. Here you can hire fishermen’s cottages and rowing boats, and the rich fishing grounds provide excellent fishing for both professional and leisure fishermen. Many are also drawn to the wild Kok River, to fish both salmon and trout.
