Join our bird watching trips to have the opportunity to watch white tailed eagles, gannets, puffins and other sea birds from one of our RIB boats! If you are lucky, we might also encounter harbour seals, harbor porpoises or otters. During the trip we stop by the island Bleiksøya, one of the most famous puffin colonies in Norway, with about 35.000 nesting puffins. Bleiksøya is a protected nature reserve and it is not allowed to go ashore on the island. We also stop by Forøy, where you will have the opportunity to see a colony of nesting guillemots, auks and cormorants.

We guarantee you an experience of a lifetime. Our guides can inform you about the birdlife on the island and answer all of your questions. We will get close to the birds without disturbing them, and give you all the time you need to take pictures and enjoy the scenery.

The Puffins: During summer the puffins come closer to shore and give our guests the opportunity to experience this lovely bird. But did you know that this bird change colour in the autumn and winter? Their beak becomes black/grey and the face becomes grey.
