What to expect?
Join us for a thrilling rib adventure in the Bodø archipelago. We begin our journey around the Heart Islands, where we pass by Paradise Bay and Ship Island. As we cruise along, we look out for the eagle in its usual spots. The white-tailed eagle is a wild and elusive creature, so we can never guarantee its presence, but we know the area well and where the eagles like to nest and perch. We also have a little snack that we know the eagle enjoys, so the odds are higher for a stunning close-up with this magnificent bird.
The white tailed eagle/Sea eagle
The sea eagle, weighing up to 8 kilograms and spanning up to 2.65 metres, is the largest bird of prey in Northern Europe. The female is significantly bigger than the male (by about 2 kg), but some males can be as big as some females. Sea eagles have been fully protected in Norway since 1968. Nordland is the main eagle county in Norway, with likely more than 35% of the country’s sea eagle population and thus nearly 20% of the world’s sea eagle population, and most of them live in Bodø/Salten.
Experience Bodø from the sea
The scenery around Bodø is amazing. On this rib tour, you will get to experience nature’s wildness, see the city of Bodø from afar, get near to islands, gorgeous beaches and the open sea. On the trip, we will tell you a bit about Bodø’s history, the sea eagle and any other interesting things and animals we encounter along the way.
