RIB to Saltstraumen and Sea Eagle Safari
Saltstraumen is at its strongest four times a day, and we plan our trips according to the tides so that you can experience the forces of nature at their most impressive. As we drive across the fjord and the landscape opens up before you, it is easy to understand why this is one of the most popular experiences in Bodø.
This is a fast-paced and exciting trip – but at the same time safe and suitable for families, groups of friends and adventurous solo travellers alike. An experience you will soon forget.
Experience Saltstraumen – the world's strongest maelstrom
Saltstraumen is one of Europe’s most spectacular natural phenomena and part of Europe’s Wild Wonders. Every six hours, up to 400 million cubic metres of seawater is forced through the 150-meter-narrow strait between Saltfjorden and Skjerstadfjorden.
The water can reach speeds of up to 20 knots, creating powerful eddies and whirlpools – so-called “boilers” – that can be up to 15 metres in diameter. Experiencing this from a RIB boat gives you a unique closeness to the natural forces that make Saltstraumen one of Norway’s most impressive attractions.
Sea Eagle Safari and a spectacular coastal scenery
On our way to Saltstraumen we make several stops for sightseeing and to look for white-tailed eagles. The white-tailed eagle is Northern Europe’s largest bird of prey, with a wingspan of up to 2.4 metres. It is a powerful experience to see this majestic bird soaring over the fjords – often surprisingly close to the boat.
Along the way, our skippers share stories and knowledge about the nature, wildlife and history of the area around Bodø. They know the fjord, islands and currents well, and do their best to give you both good stories and good photo opportunities.
Remember your camera/mobile – These are moments you’ll want to bring home with you.
(All gear you bring with you is on your own responsibility).
