Gjesværstappan, a birdwatcher's dream

Apart from offering stunning photo opportunities, Gjesværstappan provides an excellent possibility to get close to one of the largest bird colonies in Europe.

Leaving from Skarsvåg - the northernmost fishing village in the world - you will pass North Cape and Knivskjellodden on the way to the famous bird islands. Here, you will be able to spot the legendary puffins, majestic sea-eagles and elegant gannets. Your guide will help you to identify the different species and point out where they are nesting. 

The RIB boat offers you a chance to get extremely close to the birds without disturbing their natural behaviour.
Don’t forget your camera!
