Imagine a sea eagle with a wingspan of almost 2.5 meters flying towards you and plunging straight into the sea just a few meters away. This is something that gives us goosebumps every time and something we think will give you a real wow experience!

Sea eagle safari in rib

We take you on a rib trip in the Bodø archipelago. Here we start the trip around Hjertøyene, passing by Paradisbukta and Skipsholmen. Along the way, we scout for the eagle in places we know it tends to be. The white-tailed eagle is a wild bird of prey, so we can never be absolutely sure that it will appear, but we are familiar with the area and know nests and perches for the eagles. We also bring a small treat that we know the eagle appreciates, so the chance is even greater for a magical close encounter with this majestic bird.

The white tailed eagle/Sea eagle

The sea eagle, with a weight of up to 8 kilograms and a wingspan of up to 2.65 metres, is the largest bird of prey in Northern Europe. The female is considerably larger than the male (around 2 kg more), but large males can be as large as small females. Sea eagles were completely protected in Norway in 1968. Nordland is the central eagle county in Norway, with probably more than 35% of the country's sea eagle population and thus almost 20% of the world's sea eagle population, and Bodø/Salten is where the majority lives.

Experience Bodø from the sea

The nature around Bodø is fantastic. On this rib tour, you will be able to experience nature's rawness, get a glimpse of the city of Bodø in the distance, get close to islands, beautiful beaches and the open sea. On the trip, we guide you through a bit of Bodø's history, the sea eagle and any other exciting things and wildlife we ​​discover along the way.
