On the excursion, you’ll enjoy a short tour of Bodø city center before setting out on a half-hour bus ride through the magnificent Nordland landscape to Saltstraumen, the world’s strongest tidal current. Here, the sea is forced with immense power through the narrow strait, and the difference in water level between the two sides can be up to one meter.

"First, you’ll see the current from above as we cross the bridge by bus, before heading down to the water’s edge to experience the powerful water masses up close. The current varies with the tide, making each trip a unique experience. The strong whirlpools can be up to ten meters wide and four to five meters deep – a natural phenomenon you won’t soon forget.

Along the way, we’ll stop so you can see and photograph the swirling waters, before returning to the quay in Bodø and boarding the ship.

Please note that the strength of the currents depends on the tide and tidal activity, and levels cannot be guaranteed as they vary throughout the day.
