Join us on an exciting trip by rigid inflatable boat (RIB) from Laukvik in North Senja to the beautiful island of Hekkingen on the outer coast of Senja.

The island is home to a large population of white-tailed sea eagles. There will be great opportunities to experience close-up contact with the white-tailed sea eagle if it swoops down to the boat to get a fish. Get your camera ready to capture a spectacular photo of this giant bird.
