4D: RIB boat Safari to Saltstraumen

Saltstraumen is the world’s strongest tidal current. Travel by Zodiac close to the powerful, wild forces of nature.

You will travel by Zodiac at a steady speed to bring you close to the powerful, wild forces of nature in this rugged landscape. Four times a day millions of gallons of water are forced through the 150 m wide strait, spanned by a magnificent bridge, at an average speed of 29 km per hour. Overhead soar sea eagles, their wingspan over two metres. During the tour you will also learn more about the history and geology of the area. You might also notice how some of the exposed rock faces demonstrate distinctive patterns; the result of the rock being folded under immense pressure, known as Caledonian folding, a process that dates back over 250 million years. Thermal clothing can be provided.
