Get up close with nature in a RIB
Discover scenic islands and secluded beaches that are accessible only by boat
Keep your eyes peeled for the king of the sky – the magnificent Sea Eagle
After a safety briefing, you'll board a RIB for an exhilarating ride through the waters around Lofoten, weaving past islets and skerries accessible only by boat.
The area is prime territory for Sea Eagles – Norway's largest bird of prey, with a wingspan of up to 2.65 metres – and your chances of spotting one up close are high. As you scan the sky, be sure to soak up your surroundings – this vibrant landscape changes with the seasons, while a symphony of birdlife fills the air.
As we navigate these stunning waters, your skipper will share their knowledge about the region, seasoning their explanations with local stories that offer an insightful peek into everyday life in Lofoten.
