Sea Eagle Boat Tour in Bodø Archipelago

Bodø is a vibrant city in Nordland County, Norway, located just north of the Arctic Circle. The city is situated on a peninsula, bordered by the Norwegian Sea to the west and dramatic fjords and mountains to the east. On this boat tour in Bodø, you'll discover its unique archipelago, a breathtaking collection of islands and islets scattered along the coast.

The boat trip in the Bodø Archipelago begins at the starting point at Bodø Harbour. For this excursion, you can choose from a group experience or a private option, allowing you to have the boat exclusively for yourselves. Upon arrival at the floating office, you'll be greeted by the experienced guide and receive your equipment for the tour (thermal suit, life jacket, goggles, hat, and mittens). The guide will go through a quick safety briefing and instructions before you board the comfortable Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Then, the sea eagle boat tour in Bodø begins!

The boat will set sail along the crystal clear waters of the archipelago, weaving between quaint islands and islets. You'll start the trip in Hjertøyene, a group of small islands located just off the coast of Bodø, and continue to the area of Paradisbukta. Literally meaning 'Paradise Bay,' this picturesque spot is celebrated for its white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Then, you'll pass by Skipsholmen, a charming island known for its rich history and untouched natural beauty. Throughout the tour, you'll experience the unique nature of Bodø, with its beautiful islands, beaches and open sea. You'll also have an amazing panoramic view of the city of Bodø from the water.

Along the way, the guide will scout for sea eagles in their most common places. Bodø is a really popular spot for witnessing sea eagles, with the white-tailed eagle, a wild bird of prey, being the most sighted. Nordland is the central eagle county in Norway, home to more than 35% of the country's sea eagle population. The local, knowledgeable guide will take you to the eagles' nests and perches. They will also bring a small treat to ensure a greater chance of a close-up encounter with the majestic bird. Throughout the RIB tour in Bodø, you'll spot the eagles and other wildlife, while learning more about the different birds and the region's history from the guide. Afterwards, you'll return to the starting point at Bodø Harbour.
