Fantastic guide photos available within a couple of hours. Thoroughly recommend this tour with Ivar.”
Track moose near Bodø on a small-group evening safari with Saltstraumen, local guides, midnight sun, and chances to spot foxes and reindeer.
“We went on this moose safari last Thursday and it was incredible! We started out with a little tour of Bodø’s surrounding nature including Saltstraumen while waiting for the moose to come out of the forest. The later it got the more moose we saw and our two guides kept it going although it was most likely way past the normal end time. In total we saw around 30 moose including two babies, a couple of deer and three young foxes. This is probably the coolest thing to do in Bodø, I cannot recommend it enough!”

“Ivar knows Nordland/Bodø's surroundings incredibly well and is a very knowledgeable and passionate guide. I could feel that he is committed to creating the best possible experience for his clients. Even though I was the only one booked for the day, he still agreed to go ahead with the tour, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, there was not much snow by the time I arrived, so Ivar offered me the possibility to either cancel or to go for an alternative hike. I took him up on the hike and it turned out to be a beautiful trip to a magical forest and peninsula. Ivar also stopped at several interesting spots…”
