Summer Sea Nature Safari - Getting to know the local wildlife

The Activity

Summer Sea Safari in Norway

This tour exposes you to the post ice age geology and ancient fishing culture dating back to the Viking era some 1000 years ago. The tour will begin by crossing over the Lyngen Fjord to cruise below the gigantic walls of sheer rock that rise directly out of the fjord. Here we will go on land and take a short hike to the largest glacier waterfall of the Lyngen National Park. Afterwards, we will cross to the island of Uløya and visit the historical cultural site of Havnness where they are still practicing the Viking art of drying cod fish to this day.

Animals

What you can see on Safari in Lapland and Lyngen

Every Summer Sea Nature Safari with Lyngen Lodge is unique, but a typical trip offers chances to see:

• Flocks of migratory sea birds – particularly when sailing past the massive cliffs of Lyngen National Park and the bird sanctuary between the islands of Uløya and Follesøya
• Mighty sea eagles (Havørn in the local Norwegian), the largest bird of prey in Europe – especially under the sheer cliffs of the Lyngen Peninsula
• Grey seals in the waters around Uløya and Follesøya
