Puffin and Seabird Boat Safari to Bleiksoya
A guided boat trip from Bleik to the Bleiksoya bird cliff for Atlantic Puffins, White-tailed Eagles and a rich community of breeding seabirds.
About this tour
Leave the fishing village of Bleik aboard a traditional passenger boat and head west toward Bleiksoya, a steep offshore bird cliff reached after a short crossing. The approach brings the colony into view from the water, where Atlantic Puffins gather in large numbers during the breeding season and move between the sea and their nesting slopes.
The trip is also a chance to study the wider seabird community around the island. White-tailed Eagles patrol the cliff and surrounding water, while Razorbills, guillemots, shags and cormorants use the rocky breeding ledges. Northern Gannets can be seen around nearby Forroya. The exact mix and activity vary with the season, weather and natural conditions.
Puffin Safari AS operates the outing with professional local guides. The vessel was built in 1971 and later converted from fishing work to passenger trips. It is approximately 15 metres long, certified for up to 12 passengers, and normally carries a crew of two to four.
The trip lasts close to 90 minutes, including about one hour around the puffins and other seabirds. Online prices are NOK 850 for adults, NOK 500 for youth and children, and free for infants. Dates, departure time and remaining places are confirmed after inquiry. Wildlife remains wild, and no particular sighting can be guaranteed.
