Come with us on a fantastic nature experience and beamong millions of birds in a landscape you cannot find anywhere else except on this part of the Artic Circle on top of the world. The famous Stappan Nature Park is one of Europe’s biggest bird paradise where the birds are protected and thrive and can be seen up close with thespecial Bird Safari we have to offer 

Our 10 years of experience of organizing and making these safari trips have taught us how the experience can become optimal with the use of our new Ardea 8,35 m boat with 222 hp. so that we can get close up to many of the bird types and bird colonies found at this beautiful and unique nature park.

On this safari, visitors can see up close and almost touch, birds like puffin, cormorant, razor-billed hawk, whitetailed eagle and many other varieties of birds that reside and visit this Island.

 

  

At times we come across other animals visiting and surrounding the Island like seals and maybe Wales and dolphines Using the style boat we have, its possible to get very close up to several bird colonies that you normally could never get to with other boats and approaches. All the passengers will get dressed with regatta suits that fulfill the requirements to safety and comfort.
