Sea eagle safari to Saltstraumen
A fast RIB (rigid inflatable boat) takes you from Bodø to Saltstraumen, which many call the strongest tidal current in the world. There is a good chance of seeing sea eagles up close along the way.
Open water, the Arctic coast of Nordland and a seat in the front row. The boats are powerful, the guides experienced and the groups small, so the trip is safe and lively. You may also spot seals and porpoises along the way.
