Puffins and seabirds, Rib cruise
Join our cruise to discover the Puffins and other seabirds in their feeding grounds around Skjervøy!
During the summer months, the fjords around Skjervøy are with big gatherings of seabirds, such as Puffins, Razorbills, Common guillemots, Black guillemots to mention some. They enter the inner fjord area to feed on capelin, a small Arctic pelagic fish and a key-specie in the marine ecosystem of the northern hemisphere. As the capelin is the main dish not only for birds, but also for cod and whales the ecosystem is exceptionally rich and supports a high diversity of wildlife.
Frequently sightings of Arctic Skua and Great Skua is also quite impressive, when they speak from nature of the bullying behavior towards puffins and other gulls like the kittiwake.
Of course the Arctic ducks are also around like always; Common Eider and Long-tailed ducks, together with the white-taled eagle and Golden eagle.
Join our cruise in a Rib boat to discover the diversity of the bird life in our fjord areas.
You will be hosted by a team that are experienced sea captains, marine life- and bird lovers.
We will serves quality authentic experience for the guests and we look forward to being your host!

“We bring you out into nature and introduce you to birds and wildlife at sea and along the coast. Wildlife such as the stunning winter whales on the west side, or the whale migration going for the winter/summer capelin in the east. The seabird migration of puffins, guillemots, razorbills and the target specie king eider. The eagles and huges groups of white beaked dolphins are stunning too!
