Birds- and wildlife tour - Explore 70 Degrees

Join us cruising the fjords in our safe and steady Rib, in search for birds, whales and other mammals of our region. This is a unique chance of witness the huge variety of wildlife of Arctic Norway. Is all dynamic and the presence of the species varies during the year.

Our beloved residents dolphins; white beaked dolphins and harbor porpoise are common to see in our areas all year round. We are happy to also time to time see the other cute residents marine mammals seals and otters.

In the end of January, after the winter whales ends their feeding party in the fjords around Skjervøy, whales/ cetaceans are still time to time being observed. Like the juvenile humpback whales and other traveling whales passing into/ though our fjord system.

We also keep an eye on land for moose and reindeer, which we commonly see too.

We are also pleased to witness the amazing diversity of birdlife of the region. The eagles and cormorants are majestic in their size and wing - movement. Other fascinating seabirds as puffins, guillemots, razorbill, little auks, arctic terns and ducks like the eider ducks and long taled ducks,  to mention some. During the period of spring and summer the birdlife is to be real fascinated of.
