Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to observe an incredible variety of birdlife, including puffins, white-tailed eagles, razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes, cormorants, northern gannets, Arctic skuas, and many other seabird species. Bring your camera to capture unforgettable moments, or simply sit back and enjoy the rich wildlife and breathtaking surroundings. If we're lucky, we may even spot whales along the way! After visiting the bird cliff, we'll cruise along the shoreline to look for seals resting on the coastal rocks. The tour departs from and returns to Nyksund and lasts approximately 90 minutes.
