Top Bodo Safaris

Experience authentic whale watching from Andenes; one of Europe’s top locations where deep waters lie just offshore. Our spacious, stable vessels offer a comfortable journey with heated indoor lounges, large viewing decks, and onboard refreshments. Unlike smaller high-speed boats, you can enjoy the experience at a relaxed pace. Our expert guides provide engaging insights into whale behaviour and the Arctic ecosystem. On selected departures, we use a hydrophone to help locate whales beneath the surface. We follow responsible whale watching practices at all times. And if no whales are seen, your Whale Pass allows you to join another tour free of charge.

From beginning of September to April the chances of seeing the Northern Lights in Northern Norway are great. The weather (cloud cover) and the geomagnetic prognosis determine where the road takes us on the given day. We will take you where the chances of clear skies are the greatest and the best locations for seeing the Northern Lights. We go all in to find the Northern lights by checking 25+ different spots. Some nights we have a late return to Bodo (like 2 am). Last seasons we have had a hit rate around 88 %. Before the trip starts we will advice on how the chances to see the lights are. We head out from town in a comfortable Mercedes 7 seater van (4WD) with panoramic sunroof.

Join a real Northern Lights chase with a small group and a local guide in the heart of Vesterålen. This is not a fixed-location tour—we follow the weather and aurora forecasts to find the clearest skies each night. Some evenings we stay near Sortland, other times we drive over the mountains in search of open sky. You’ll travel in a warm vehicle, enjoy hot drinks and snacks, and receive free aurora photos taken by your guide. Along the way, you’ll learn about the Northern Lights, Arctic nature, and local culture. With fewer guests, there's more flexibility and a personal atmosphere—perfect for those who want an authentic, quiet experience under the Arctic sky.

Experience whale watching as a true Arctic expedition. Departing from the small fishing village of Stø, this full-day safari takes you directly to deep offshore waters near Bleik Canyon, one of Norway’s most active whale areas. Combine whales and seabirds watching in one journey. In addition to spotting species such as sperm whales, orcas, and pilot whales, the return route passes by Anda Island—home to puffins, sea eagles, and thousands of seabirds during summer. Unlike shorter or high-speed tours, this experience focuses on time, comfort, and immersion. The spacious vessel offers both indoor seating and open decks, allowing you to enjoy the Arctic environment at your own pace. Hot soup, coffee, and biscuits are served onboard, making it a relaxed and enjoyable day at sea. Guided by experienced local crew, you’ll gain real insight into whale behavior, the marine ecosystem, and life along the Arctic coast—turning the tour into both a wildlife encounter and an educational experience.

As far as safaris goes - using ebikes gives us an unique and exciting close contact with nature. On flat and easy roads this is your chance to experience a close encounter with the local wildlife! We take our time as the evening twilight sets in a slow pace - keeping a good lookout at both sides. Moose encounters must be treated with respect and caution, so at any spotting we stop and assess this magnificent animals behaviour. Signs may indicate a calm retreat or an opportunity to stay and watch.
