We can guarantee you the experience of a lifetime! Join our fantastic RIB trip to the magical Trollfjord, where you will have the chance to see many sea eagles up close. The area offers one of the largest populations in all of Europe, so the probability of seeing sea eagles is very high. Of course, the trip has more to offer than just eagles. You will be surrounded by the unique Lofoten's nature with thousand meters high mountains plunging directly into the sea , idyllic bays with crystal clear water and chalk white sandy beaches, just to name a few. The RIB boats are another aspect that helps make this trip unique. On larger boats you are just one of the crowd, but in a RIB boat you share the experience with a small group of passengers.

Great and cold experience!!They provided us a warm uniform, goggles and gloves to be put on your personal ones. It was a very good experience out there! Big waves and a snow storm made it more unique and fun. Of course we got a bit wet but the scenario is breathtaking and you get to see many eagles. The duration is enough, I was exhausted and cold at the end. I suggest warmer stickers for feet and to cover very well all your face.

Great monring out in the RIB looking for Sea Eagles and exploring the area around Trollfjord. Throughly enjoyed it, saw lots of Sea Eagles, learnt about them and saw amazing scenery. Our guide was very passionate about the eagles and the area and his passion really enthused us all. All delivered with a wonderful sense of humour! Throughly recommened XXLofoten, we had a wonderful excursion.

Well organised trip with the guide, Maurizio, thinking of every detail. We knew it was not taken for granted to see the light, but we were lucky. What came as a bonus above my expectations, was that we were offered photos from the event to be sent by mail.

Eric was very knowledgeable of where to spot the lights from and very patient in wanting to stay as long as others wanted. He was an excellent photographer and made sure everyone got the best photo tips and photos throughout the night. Highly recommended!

Really good tour with Andrea who took us to the right spots and we saw the most beautiful display of lights. Highly recommend taking this tour if you are in Lofoten!
