Sea Eagle Safari by boat at Sommarøy

Explore the arctic archipelago with the historical Hekkingen lighthouse and spot for sea eagles.

About us

Please meet up out our activity center on Sommarøy 15 minutes before departure time. 


The archipelago of Sommarøy hosts a large colony of sea eagles year round. And to see them soar over the landscape looking for fish is a remarkable sight.

On this guided tour we take you out in our well suited and heated boat and search the islands and cliffs for this majestic bird. With a wingspan ranging up over two meters, viewing this bird up close is a majestic and unforgettable sight. You may also encounter other wildlife such as sea otters, harbor porpoises, tysties and other sea birds. At the same time we will explore the wild exposed coast of Senja when weather permits and go ashore for a guided tour of the Hekkingen lighthouse. We will of open the lighthouse tower to give you a 360 degrees view of the surrounding area.
