Experience Northern Norway’s pristine natural beauty and abundant bird life during this memorable cruise to the Stappan Islands.
Admire beautiful landscapes and scenery during a scenic drive toward Gjesvær, a fishing village on the western edge of Magerøy Island.
Upon arrival in Gjesvær, board your sightseeing boat and begin your cruise into the nature reserve known as "Gjesværstappan," approximately nine miles west of the North Cape cliff. From your boat you can observe various birds, including the largest colony of puffins in Finnmark. The puffins nest in the grassy hills and are easy to recognize with black and white plumage, stocky builds and bright orange beaks. You may also spot mighty white-tailed eagles hovering overhead as they hunt for prey. Guillemots, Razorbills, Cormorants, Arctic Skuas, Fulmars and Gannets are also part of the flourishing bird life at Gjesværstappan nature reserve.
This is a unique opportunity to discover the great variety of birds and other animals that live in the remote North. Come and experience this incredible natural show.
Please note: It is recommended that you dress in layered clothing and wear flat, comfortable shoes. This tour is not recommended for those with motion sickness. Operation of this tour is subject to favorable weather conditions. Comfort stops available on the boat.
