Top Bodo On the Water

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.

Andøya is Norway's hidden spot for fantastic wildlife. Join our summer whale/wildlife RIB-boat excursion to explore the canyon of Bleik and its surroundings. The canyon is home to abundant marine wildlife, including the magnificent sperm whales. You will also have a chance to encounter other marine mammals, such as pilot whales, orcas, minke, and occasionally Risso's dolphins and fin whales. All these animals frequent the area in search for food (different fish species), which also attract extraordinary bird and other wildlife. In searching for whales, we will most likely encounter different birds (puffins, eagles, gannets, etc.) while we keep our eyes open for Harbor seals. Join our 3,5 hours RIB boat excursion with a maximum of 12 guests to explore the wonders of Bleik Canyon. During the tour, your guide will be onboard to give you information about all the wildlife we encounter, and take photos (as memories) to take them home with you after the trip.

Combine 2 highlights of the Bodø region on this half day tour. Glide silently through majestic Nordfjord and step into history with a visit to Kjerringøy Handelssted. As we depart from Bodø we sail along the rugged coastline around Bodø. On the way we can admire the stunning mountain on Landegode and the picturesque narrow beach of Hovsundet. We sail into Mistfjorden, which at times does its name justice. Towards the end of the fjord it splits into two and we enter the narrow arm of Nordfjorden where mountains up to 800 meters rise high above us on either side. We continue to Kjerringøy where we will step on land and make a 10 minute stroll to breathtaking Kjerringøy Handelssted. This 19th century trading post has several well preserved buildings, including several beautiful old wooden boats. Roam around the open air museum and imagine what life would be like here 200 years ago. On the way back to Bodø, you can enjoy the unobstructed views over Vestfjorden.

Embark on an unforgettable RIB safari from Nyksund along the spectacular coastline of Vesterålen, where thriving wildlife, dramatic scenery, and rich coastal history come together in one extraordinary experience.
