Svolvaer, Norway (continued)

Lofoten: Trollfjord Sea Eagle Safari by RIB Boat

For this excursion, we geared up in wetsuits, wind goggles, and life jackets before boarding a RIB boat from Svolvær Harbor. We then sailed through Raftsundet in search of sea eagles. The rubber boat brought us incredibly close to the islands—and at times, right up to the eagles themselves.

We watched an incredible aerial display: eagles soaring high into the sky, diving into the water to catch fish, feeding, and then resting while drying their wings. When perched on the rocks, they blended in so well with the landscape that they were almost indistinguishable.

Afterward, we continued toward a fjord, passing steep mountains—some capped with snow—before reaching the stunning fjords.

On our way back to town, we made a stop at a tiny island with Viking connections, where we saw a charming little settlement with small houses and boats scattered along the shore.

Finally, as we approached the harbor, we had a fantastic view of our ship docked at the port and the colorful architecture of Svolvær.
