Birdwatching · SVOLVAER BIRDWATCHING TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 6 svolvaer birdwatching tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
From Svolvær’s main square, your guide outfits you in a flotation suit, gloves, goggles, and life vest before a two-hour RIB ride to Trollfjord. Watch white-tailed sea eagles fly close to the boat, hear stories about Lofoten, and stop for photos among steep mountains, beaches, and clear bays.
“Watching the eagles soaring was truly magnificent and majestic!”
From Svolvær, a bilingual guide such as Jonas takes you by RIB through Raftsundet to Trollfjord. Warm suits, gloves, goggles, and life jackets are supplied. Expect close sea eagle sightings, waterfalls, beaches, Viking stories, and a brisk ride across Lofoten waters.
“This was an amazing experience! The fjord & scenery is beyond beautiful but the star of the show was of course the sea eagles. We got so close & it was amazing looking at these magnificent creatures. The boat goes so close & much better experience than the bigger ships due to how close you can get”
Join Lofoten Explorer in Svolvær for a two-hour RIB boat trip to Trollfjord and the sea eagle feeding grounds. Guides such as Ben share local nature and culture, while warm protective gear, life vests, and clear safety instructions help you enjoy the ride in changing conditions.
“Super Guide, unendlich viele Adler, beeindruckender Fjord , komfortables Boot , auch bei Wellengang kein Problem”
Join XXLofoten in Svolvær for a two-hour RIB safari to Trollfjorden. You’ll ride with up to 12 people, watch sea eagles in their natural setting, and photograph the fjord from the water. Thermal suits, goggles, mittens, and life vests are provided, but bring sturdy waterproof footwear.
“Ho visitato il fiordo nel mese in marzo e con la neve è suggestivo e spettacolare. Non ho avuto freddo grazie alla tuta data in dotazione.”
From Svolvær, cruise with an English-speaking guide to narrow Trollfjord, where cliffs rise more than 1,000 meters above the sea. Hear Viking-era and fishing stories, watch sea eagles swoop for fish, and buy hot drinks or snacks aboard. Bring warm clothes and a camera.
From Svolvær, you’ll race by rigid inflatable boat toward Trollfjord, watching sea eagles swoop near the cliffs and passing white beaches beneath snow-capped mountains. Your captain handles the route and safety briefing, while a flotation suit, life vest, gloves, and goggles keep you ready for the wind and spray.
“It was a beautiful day for a Rib boat ride. Saw lots of eagles and even a few dolphins. Our driver was excellent. He made the ride fun but not too bumpy. It could have been a half hour shorter instead of two hours.”
Pick a bird, a colony or a coastline.
