Face to Face with
Arctic Birdlife
Experience the Rarest Winter Seabirds – Right at Water Level
Welcome to one of the very best places in the world to observe Arctic seabirds up close! Here you can witness spectacular species in their natural element, on the quiet (or not-so-quiet) winter sea.
From our floating bird hide, you have a unique opportunity to see King Eider, Steller’s Eider, Long-tailed Duck, and Black Guillemot – at eye level – without disturbing them. For photographers and bird enthusiasts, this is a dream location: flight shots and close-up studies of these beautiful birds create truly unforgettable moments.
With us, respect for nature comes first. We work with the birds and let them set the boundaries for the experience. We are only guests in their world – and we want both people and birds to leave the encounter with peace and harmony.
Whether you are a passionate photographer, a dedicated ornithologist, or simply want to experience the stillness and the power of nature, you will find this place unique. The combination of Arctic light, winter landscapes, and abundant birdlife makes this an experience you will not find anywhere else in the world.
From Bird Cliffs to Tundra
Summer in the Realm of the Birds –
RIB Tour to the Syltefjordstauran Bird Colony
Summer in the north is an experience you will never forget. When the midnight sun shines over the sea, the coast comes alive – giving you the chance to see some of the world’s most spectacular bird species.
Join us on a trip to Syltefjordstauran, home to the world’s northernmost gannet colony, and witness puffins, guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, black guillemots, and more.
The sound of the bird cliffs and the ocean in summer is a
truly magical experience.
If you prefer silence, you can explore the open landscapes surrounding us. Here you may see ruffs displaying, skuas on patrol, ptarmigan camouflaging themselves in the heather, and majestic sea eagles gliding over the fjord.
Just as in winter, our focus is to work in harmony with nature.
We are merely guests in the birds’ world – and we create experiences that allow both people and wildlife to thrive.
Here, you get the perfect combination of Arctic nature, world-class birding experiences, and the light of a sun that never sets.
