Sea Eagle Safari

A smaller boat will meet your ship out at sea to take you on a spectacular journey into Lofoten’s fjords, past islands and steep mountains, and towards the famous Trollfjord. Along the way, keep an eye out for sea eagles soaring overhead, whales surfacing in the water, and seals resting along the shores.

Trollfjord is only 2.5 kilometres long, yet rises with dramatic, sheer mountainsides on both sides. Your Coastal Express ship will sail into the fjord, navigating through its 100-metre entrance before performing its iconic 180° turn inside. From aboard the smaller boat, you’ll have the perfect front-row perspective to photograph and film this impressive manoeuvre.

As we approach Trollfjord, we begin attracting the surrounding birdlife with fish. Gulls may dive for fish right from your hand, while sea eagles circle the boat a few times before swooping down to take their meal from the water. All eagle feeding takes place outside Trollfjord, and stops at the fjord’s entrance to preserve the tranquillity of this unique landscape. This gives you unforgettable opportunities to capture Northern Europe’s largest bird of prey in action.
