Highlights
Join us for an evening safari into the Northern Norwegian landscape with a local guide who knows the habits and life of the moose and where we have the best chance of seeing them. The Moose – elg in Norwegian – is Europe’s largest land animal. Despite its size, it is shy and cautious, but often allow us to get quite near. We observe from a respectful distance and never disturb the animals. Our aim is to experience them as they are – calm, natural, and undisturbed in their own environment. On the way, we pass Saltstraumen, home to the world’s strongest tidal current – an impressive natural phenomenon that adds another highlight to the tour. Along the route, there are also chances to see other wildlife, such as reindeer and white-tailed eagle. We take time to enjoy the surroundings, with good opportunity for photography throughout the tour. Snacks, warm drinks, and photos from the experience are included – so you can stay present while we help capture the moments.

5A wonderful trip!
We had an absolutely amazing time with Ivar and the moose safari was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. Ivar knew exactly where we could hope to see moose and we ended up seeing 20+ different moose on our trip with one coming withing only a few yards of the vehicle. It was an amazing experience and Ivar offered to stop whenever we wanted to so that we could take photos of the landscape around us. We did the trip with only one other person and we were offered binoculars to use which was great. I would definitely recommend it.
5Saw moose on a lovely...
Saw moose on a lovely evening. Not only seeing several moose but spectacular sunsets. With a lovely drive down many side roads that you would never do otherwise.
5Great experience!
We had a great experience, lots of moose sightings and the most amazing sunset! Our guide was very accomodating and knowledgeable. A great way to see the outskirts of Bodo.
5Beautiful tour
Amazing tour! We got to see many moose and got to know a lot of interesting things about them and the nature around Bodø.
5Fantastic Moose Safari
Fantastic Moose Safari with Guide Ivar. Booking, payment and meeting point went smoothly. Beautiful drive to Saltstraumen and the surrounding area to observe moose. We saw 32 moose (plus two foxes)! Ivar gave us interesting insights into moose, nature, and Norway. Highly recommended!
5Perfect evening tout in Bodø
An incredible tour with Ivar, who truly shared his passion for the region and for moose with us. We spotted 32 moose (as well as two foxes and one very large cat that I initially mistook for a fox), including several from very close range, which allowed us to take some amazing photos. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and throughout the evening Ivar also took us to several exceptional viewpoints.

About Bodø
Bodø is a coastal city in northern Norway just above the Arctic Circle, the gateway to Saltstraumen's tidal whirlpools and to the Lofoten islands.
Bodø is a modern seaside city in Nordland, northern Norway, at about 67 degrees north, a little above the Arctic Circle. It was largely rebuilt after bombing in 1940, and its centre is a compact grid of low buildings, a harbour, and a cathedral with a separate bell tower. The Norwegian Aviation Museum, shaped like a propeller, and the Kjerringøy trading post, a preserved nineteenth-century merchant station, are the main sights.
